Depeche Mode
While the band of this name would be sufficiently notable for a Wikiquote page, the current content of the page doesn't appear to relate to them in any way. I was tempted to speedy-delete the page as "no meaningful content", and a Google search on the single phrase didn't turn up any results, but it's possible that it's a lyrics and the myriad of lyrics sites on the web, as well as fan sites, just missed it, though I seriously doubt it. —LrdChaos (talk) 14:20, 20 December 2006 (UTC)

 * Delete. —LrdChaos (talk) 14:20, 20 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Speedy keep with Jeffq's changes. —LrdChaos (talk) 16:12, 20 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete as it is -- I believe the quote cited is supposed to be the lyrics to Enjoy the Silence, but the words are not quite correct. (They should be: All I ever wanted/All I ever needed/Is here in my arms). There is probably enough material on the band to warrant a page, but this is nowhere near enough to keep this page. ~ UDScott 14:38, 20 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep, now that the page has been cleaned up by Jeff and Fys. ~ UDScott 17:10, 20 December 2006 (UTC)

 * Comment: Well, that was easy to fix. I've corrected, expanded, formatted, and sourced the sole quote now (completely from memory, except for the release year — but I double-checked it). I expect to do some more cleanup, but I won't vote unless and until the job is done. (Pro-wrestling fans, take note — this is how to get people to change their votes!) ~ Jeff Q (talk) 16:09, 20 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep now. Fys. &#147;Ta fys aym&#148;. 16:29, 20 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep, now that Fys and I have beefed it up a bit. Interesting aside: our "song, album (year)" sourcing format has a weakness in that some songs become hits (and therefore notable) before they are released in albums, like "Personal Jesus", which charted in 1989 as a single but wasn't part of an album until Violator came out in 1990. We want the date of the original source (the 1989 single) but also verifiability (which may be easier by citing an album). I've tweaked the sources in the article in one attempt to reflect this, but it needs further consideration. ~ Jeff Q (talk) 17:04, 20 December 2006 (UTC)
