Dale Turner
Article has no identifying information to help us figure our who this is supposed to be. There is a Dale Turner, but it's about a Jericho character (who wouldn't rate a Wikiquote article). I believe this is supposed to be someone named "Dale E. Turner", who has a quote page on ThinkExist.com and a few other unreliable websites. IMDb has a Dale E. Turner entry, but nothing there or in our quote article suggests that this is the same person. My initial take on this is that it is a vanity quote page from someone with a very common name. ~ Jeff Q (talk) 12:27, 24 January 2007 (UTC)

 * Delete. I did a quick search for one of the quotes, and of the few results, they are largely attributed (where they are attributed) to "Dale E. Turner", which one source adding the still-unhelpful pseudo-source of "(Seattle Times, 4/24/99)". Searching the Seattle Times site archives turns up a few mentions, which all come from the "Local news" section and appear to be a local clergyman, almost certainly not notable in a larger context. —LrdChaos (talk) 14:27, 24 January 2007 (UTC)
