If ya can't say nothin nice, don't say anything at all and Thumper
This is another one of those single-quote pages which we generally frown upon. (I'm certain that it is much older than the attribution would indicate, as well.) 121a0012 04:13, 4 September 2006 (UTC)

I've added Thumper as well, which is just another copy of the same quote. Should belong at Bambi if anywhere. 121a0012 04:15, 4 September 2006 (UTC)


 * Vote closed. Result: delete "If ya" (5 deletes, incl. 1 implicit; no dissent), move "Thumper" (1 unconditional delete; 3 deletes unless quote moved to decent Bambi stub; 1 move to Bambi). I will shortly establish the Bambi stub as promised, as part of this closure. ~ Jeff Q (talk) 05:42, 18 September 2006 (UTC)

 * Delete unless someone volunteers to create a page for Bambi. - InvisibleSun 00:51, 5 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete. I believe that the quote, in one form or another, dates to before Bambi (I know it as "If you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all"). If someone is willing to work on a page for Bambi, they can incorporate the quote (with its relatively unique style), but I don't know that it would be any good as a single quote for a stub, for a children's movie (which isn't likely to get much attention from serious editors). &mdash;LrdChaos 14:49, 5 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete "If ya can't…", move "Thumper" to Bambi. I'm a bit surprised to see that we have an article for the unmemorable Bambi II, but not the original Disney classic. I'll volunteer to clean it up a bit and even add some unverified quotes (unlike my usual practice) to help establish a proper stub, if we decide to move one of these articles. (First up: "He can call me Flower if he wants to." I don't need to watch the video to remember that from my childhood. I can hear the sing-song of "Flower" the skunk in my head so clearly I could transcribe the pitches of his words on a music staff. Ah, nostalgia.) ~ Jeff Q (talk) 21:43, 6 September 2006 (UTC)
