Favorites
This is a list of contributors' favorite quotes. RoboAction put a VFD tag on it on 18 Dec 2004, but there doesn't seem to be an entry for it here, so I'm adding it. Some reasons why this article doesn't make sense: &mdash; Jeff Q (talk) 06:18, 29 Mar 2005 (UTC)
 * 1) Wikiquote originated as a place to put favorite quotes, so it essentially is "Favorites".
 * 2) User:Kalki made an excellent point on Talk:Favorites that one can place anything of personal interest, like one's own favorite quotes, on one's User page.
 * 3) What other reason is there to have this page, if User pages can reflect each person's favorites, and Wikiquote reflects the community's?
 * VOTE CLOSED. Results: Move now; delete over time (no Keeps; 1 Delete; 2 Deletes after reintegration [1 implicit]; 1 Move out of main namespace). Move to Wikiquote:Favorites scheduled for 21 April or later, barring alternatives (discuss at TF:Proposed move). &mdash; Jeff Q (talk) 19:51, 13 Apr 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete: It will become unscalable. We can encourage visitors to accumulate their own favorites on their user page instead. --Aphaia 05:15, 30 Mar 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete carefully. I beleive this page is linked from several prominent places and we may want to check that the quotes on the page on already on there appropriate subject pages. Rmhermen 14:42, 1 Apr 2005 (UTC)
 * Links are to Main page, List of categories, and old proposed variations of Main page. I agree that, should we delete, we should first transfer everything into appropriate articles. It'll take some time, but it's doable. &mdash; Jeff Q (talk) 06:08, 2 Apr 2005 (UTC)
 * Google has |exactly one page outside Wiki linking to it. --Eustace Tilley 21:45, 7 Apr 2005 (UTC)
 * I do feel this shouldn't be in the main article sections. I would vote to archive it somewhere out of the main namespace, to keep a simple record of it, without going to all the trouble that deleting it, and moving much of its content might be. ~ Kalki 19:21, 10 Apr 2005 (UTC)
