Bob Wells
Google searching reveals a lot of people with this name. Unless this particular person can be identified and shown to be notable, his page should be deleted. - InvisibleSun 15:39, 8 October 2006 (UTC)

 * Delete. - InvisibleSun 15:39, 8 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete unless person identified, notability evidence provided, and quote(s) sourced. No WP article. There are at least 17 Bob or Robert Wellses listed in the Library of Congress, and the sole quote currently in the article is too general-purpose even to guess at which it might be, if it's any of them. (My intuition suggests it might be a TV show host/weatherman from Cleveland and later Florida, who spent some time in Christian radio, but that's only a guess.) This article was created, like many others in the past day, by an enthusiatic newcomer, R160K, who seems to be copying quotes from other quote websites, which usually don't care either about identifying the quotee or sourcing the quotes. I hope we don't discourage this new editor, but we have higher standards for inclusion and verification than most websites. ~ Jeff Q (talk) 19:26, 8 October 2006 (UTC)
 * I must correct myself. I see that R160K is likely just transferring quotes from The Homework Diary Company Ltd, which is also up for deletion. The problem remains the same: that commercial product's quote-of-the-day (or whatever form it takes) doesn't bother to source its quote or identify its quotees. I'm afraid we still need to examine each article created to hold these quotes to see if we can determine these vital bits of data. ~ Jeff Q (talk) 00:37, 9 October 2006 (UTC)
