Fast Lane
I'm not sure why such a page would be considered notable or necessary. What's next -- ATMs? EZ-Pass tollbooths? ~ UDScott 11:53, 26 May 2006 (UTC)


 * Vote closed. Result: delete (4 Deletes; 1 Keep from minimally participating editor, 4 Keeps discounted for lack of any other WQ contributions). ~ Jeff Q (talk) 19:10, 9 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete. ~ UDScott 11:53, 26 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete. None of the quotes are memorable, and it's really a pointless page. &mdash;LrdChaos 12:17, 26 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete. Actually, Fast Lane is about a toll booth, so I think it should get precedence over the WalMart checkout machine. "Please insert $1.00 toll", and all that. Seriously, I completely agree with UDScott and LrdChaos. None of these is a quote-worthy subject. ~ Jeff Q (talk) 12:48, 26 May 2006 (UTC)
 *  Delete. A vanity page for a machine: I'm almost impressed. Open the pod bay doors, HAL. - InvisibleSun 15:57, 26 May 2006 (UTC)
 *  Keep. An existentially humorous quotes page. The quotes of an item we encounter in everday life, but how many of us have stopped to consider it?Digital Subjunctive 05:02, 27 May 2006 (UTC)
 *  Keep. I owe this machine my allegiance.  I refuse to have it torn from my bloody hands again.Beanland 04:38, 31 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep. I am amazed that anybody would dare vote to delete such a page. Have none of you looked into the face of this great machine and pondered what it could possibly be going on in its mind?  These quotes are the only glimpse we get into its conscience, and you wish to do away with them.  "Pointless"?  Nay, my friend.  Profound.MrPoland 04:48, 9 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep. There is nothing in the current world more prominent than emerging technology such as this. These machines are fast becoming part of our everyday lives, and are more than noteworthy. I am anchored into the position of defending this article. This is now. This is life. John Pierce 10:57, 9 June 2006
 * Keep. I cannot believe that anywould would want to rid me of my whole connection to this "Wal-Mart" Khubal 5:17, 9 June 2006
 * Note: User:MrPoland and User:Khubal have each only made one edit, which was their vote here. User:John Pierce has made two edits, one to vote here and one to create a user page. Possible sockpuppetry, and even if it isn't, they are new users with no other contributions before or since. &mdash;LrdChaos 15:03, 9 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Digital Subjunctive, too, has only edited to place a single vote here (once to vote, once to sign). ~ Jeff Q (talk) 19:06, 9 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Comment: There is no doubt in my mind that most of the quotes stated by this machine will light some inner feeling within most hearts.  Whether the saying "Thank you for shopping at Wal-Mart" incites a feeling of hatred towards corporate greed, outsourcing and competition, or a sense of comfort, nostalgia, or convienience, it should not matter:  They are still recognizable by most of the world, and I believe have a part on this Wikiquote.
