Geri Weitzman
Google search reveals a licensed psychologist and an author of books on beaded bracelets. The quote has a lot of circulation, but notability appears to be lacking. - InvisibleSun 15:31, 8 October 2006 (UTC)

 * Keep - This quote appears on many sites (including quote sites, regional authority projects, organizations web sites and more). I do not think that it should be deleted. -- 195.93.21.74 18:28, 11 October 2006 (UTC)
 * To misquote Bertrand Russell, "If 50 million people say a foolish thing, it is still a foolish thing." (The quote is actually from W. Somerset Maugham, and it's actually "If forty million people say a foolish thing it does not become a wise one, but the wise man is foolish to give them the lie.") Just because something appears on many websites does not make it correct. Wikiquote strives to oppose the spread of misquotations by sourcing and verifying quotes. We have no reliable information on the origin of the sole quote in this article. We do, however, welcome any attempt to properly source it. ~ Jeff Q (talk) 19:16, 11 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete the quote itself may shed light on its origin. it seems someone wanted to be 'a part of' notable quotes so they used the internet to 'create' one. [THR_SQUAN] 13 October, 2006
