 * Vote closed. Result: delete (4 deletes; no dissent). I'm not happy about closing this one, because it exemplifies a common problem here at Wikiquote — what I would call "drive-by editing". Someone (probably from Wikipedia, since they're familiar with wiki editing) is tickled by a notable quote, adds it to a theme article here (like Last words), then creates a stub for the quotee (in this case, even using an appropriate part of the WP article, with links), then fails even to add the quote they liked, let alone expand the article. We'll probably never see another edit from this person. If we delete these articles, we force the next person to reproduce the intro (fairly trivial, but annoying). If we don't, we wind up with hundreds (maybe thousands) or articles without quotes. Oh, well. I've left the link from "Last words" in place. One hopes the next editor will be a bit more ambitious about creating a decent Bécquer stub from it. ~ Jeff Q (talk) 20:55, 6 October 2006 (UTC)


 * Delete unless valid quotes are added. —LrdChaos (talk) 20:55, 28 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete unless valid sourced quotes are added. This article was created by the same anon who added a Bécquer entry, "Todo mortal...", to Last words. (They translated it as "Every mortal...", but I've changed it to what I suspect is a more logical "All mortal...".) Of course, this editor should have put that quote in the Bécquer article, but it isn't sourced anyway. ~ Jeff Q (talk) 21:04, 28 September 2006 (UTC)
