James Chin

 * Probable vanity page. Only contribution from anynmous user and provided link goes to similar but different quote. Rmhermen 23:22, 6 Apr 2005 (UTC)
 * VOTE CLOSED. Result: Deleted (4 Deletes, 1 implicit Delete; 1 Keep). &mdash; Jeff Q (talk) 08:22, 1 May 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete. The only place this shows up in Google (besides on a website with a copy of our page, including the VfD notice) is on the web board cited in the Wikiquote entry. The ability to post something witty on a web board does not make one notable. &mdash; Jeff Q (talk) 11:04, 13 Apr 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete. Strongly suspecting a vanity page.--Aphaia 17:13, 16 Apr 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep. James Chin is an important part of many lives. He inspires people to reach out and be cool and funny. If it were not for James Chin, I would have commited suicide long ago. If you delete him, what's to say I won't contemplate it again? Or at least consider doing it over a Macintosh App-- aha, see! I could have died if not for his wisdom! -Steelix 13:04, 20 Apr 2005 (UTC)
 * User has no edits except this vote. Rmhermen 15:14, 20 Apr 2005 (UTC)
 * I find this presumably lighthearted attempt at emotional blackmail in incredibly poor taste. &mdash; Jeff Q (talk) 18:29, 20 Apr 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete. I believe this is another case of a Beloved Forum Personality.  According to his user profile, he has 2,700+ posts to the referenced forum, with the majority in the Banter & Brawl section.  Perhaps a Colorful Characters page, where a few sayings from the village jesters of the world could be preserved?--Eustace Tilley 03:06, 22 Apr 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete. I don't see any notability to this person. MosheZadka 08:20, 21 Apr 2005 (UTC)
