Chad Bishop
Vanity page. I've placed a vanity-warn on the user's talk page. 121a0012 05:28, 7 November 2006 (UTC)


 * Vote closed: Result: Delete. Disregarding my own vote, six deletes; of the three keep votes that were by registered accounts, Chadbishop has a conflict of interest and the other two were by users who have made no other contributions to Wikiquote.

 * Comment im glad you posted that, someone is inviting their friends to vote "Delete" without any reason or explanation. thanks for the lookout jeffq. also, if its not a vote why is it called "vote for deletions"? i think what you should say is that it is indeed a vote, but the vote count has little influence on the final decision.

 * Delete. Vanity page. The only quote is copied from a personal website that is currently down. jni 11:43, 7 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Note: 66.61.69.134 edited Jni's vote. —LrdChaos (talk) 06:35, 8 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom. By the way, the site (not mentioned in the article) is ChadBishop.org. ~ Jeff Q (talk) 21:24, 7 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete and personally I'm thinking about speedying it. Fys. &#147;Ta fys aym&#148;. 23:49, 7 November 2006 (UTC)
 * I suggest holding off on speedying a bit to see if Phoen1c1an (see below) is willing to cite some evidence worth looking into. Lacking that, I'd recommend at least a modest effort to discover whether "King of the Internets Wars 2004" can be considered a credible assertion of notability before we can SD based on "unremarkable subject". Just my 2&cent;. ~ Jeff Q (talk) 00:46, 8 November 2006 (UTC)


 * Keep Found several other sources from this guy on quotes. You guys really need to learn how to use google. Phoen1c1an
 * The above vote was actually posted by at 00:08, 8 November 2006 (UTC). I did not strike it because I note that someone, likely this editor, registered user:Phoen1c1an 5 minutes later. ~ Jeff Q (talk) 00:29, 8 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Phoen1c1an, if you weren't a brand-new editor here, you might realize that the regular participants here are well-versed with Google. What you should realize is that Google is not a reliable source, but only an index to potential reliable sources. We most often use it to get some idea of what's involved, as we did here, but it is still necessary to (A) cite within the article specific evidence from reliable sources (by Wikimedia's definition) that the subject is notable, and provide sources for the quotes. None of this information currently exists in the article, and no other editor (including VfD participants) is obligated to do the article's editors' work by digging it up. People here will often do research if they suspect a subject is notable (based on Google and other evidence), but they are much less likely to help folks who prefer taunting to citation. I will add that there is neither a Chad Bishop article nor a deletion discussion for it, so Wikiquotians are understandably skeptical of any notability claims. ~ Jeff Q (talk) 00:42, 8 November 2006 (UTC)
 * I've noticed the title of this page, as well as the URL is misleading. I request it changed immediately.  It has been brought to my attention that this page is not used for voting.  71.37.195.135 05:17, 9 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Sorry about that. "Votes for deletion" is a legacy term from the earlier days of Wikipedia and Wikiquote. Changing it has been discussed on and off, but we have not yet achieved any consensus on what to change it to. The key thing to realize is that everyone participating on this page should have read the first paragraph of the page, which also directs readers to Deletion policy, which goes into more detail about these issues. ~ Jeff Q (talk) 09:31, 9 November 2006 (UTC)


 * Keep i am the original editor and person of questionable notability to whom the quotes are attributed. the title "King of the Internets Wars 2004" is self-proclaimed and should not be considered in the assertion of notability. i have to say my celebrity goes beyond my household and most people in my neighborhood are well aware of significant things i have said. however, these people are not well-versed in computers and cannot contribute to the article, any discussions of the article or would have any content that google could index. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Chadbishop (talk • contribs) 04:52, 8 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep Definitely. All Soviet Union is for Mr. Chad Bishop. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 66.61.69.134 (talk • contribs) 05:00, 8 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Vote struck, as it came from an IP address which, in the same edit as this vote, edited Jni's vote above. —LrdChaos (talk) 06:35, 8 November 2006 (UTC)


 * Keep Yes this page should be kept. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Sharper (talk • contribs) 05:03, 8 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Comment actually this post was the one created by the guy who changed Jni's vote. the vote above was made by Sharper Chadbishop 20:33, 13 November 2006 (UTC)


 * Delete: I am going to be regularly checking this VfD page and invoking the "Brad Simanek rule" for these such cases: i.e., those where a vanity page not nearly as worthwhile as mine by someone with even less notability as I was deemed to have is up for a vote. In other words, if I got sh*tcanned, then *this* sure the hell should be. And that is my 2-cents-vote here. Bsimanek 15:47, 8 November 2006 (UTC)
 * good thing you can only vote once, theres no point in checking back. btw, no matter how notable you think you are, your quotes arent nearly as funny as you would like them to be. nothing on there is half as awesome as my quote about heaven. im definitely at least the fourth coolest person in arkansas. ~ Chadbishop
 * Comment: Fair enough. I never played well in Arkansas. How is your saucy ol' mother, by the way? Bsimanek 19:49, 8 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Comment: shes still knocked up and barefoot. if you can get readers digest to accept one of those jokes and they cut you a check, loan me some so i can buy her some flipflops or something. Chadbishop 21:03, 8 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete. ~ UDScott 18:03, 8 November 2006 (UTC)
