Jared High
Was tagged as a speedy deletion candidate on grounds of being an advertisement. This is not among the criteria. The page does claim a sort of tragic notability, does introduce the topic, and includes a sort of quote.

 * Delete. I'm sorry about Jared, but I don't think that either he or his one quote are very notable. Perhaps the author should consider moving to WP? --Ubiquity 02:35, 16 November 2006 (UTC)

 * Delete. As an otherwise-unnotable 13-year-old is not likely to have any sourced or sourceable quotes that could be added to the page, this is certain to remain a stub with only a single quote. I'm also not convinced that the person is notable anyway; while they do have a WP page, Google only turns up <500 results, Yahoo <1000, a fair number of which are completely unrelated to this person. Of the three other people cited on the Bullycide page, none have a page of their own (Curtis Taylor redirects to the aforementioned Bullycide page). —LrdChaos (talk) 14:59, 16 November 2006 (UTC)

 * Delete. The subject is better suited to be a Wikipedia article than as a quote which doesn't really work on its own. - InvisibleSun 17:28, 16 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete. This is one of those rare cases where a minor is actually notable enough for Wikimedia inclusion, but I agree with LrdChaos that this article will likely never include anything more than a single tragic but unoriginal quote. (As I often do, I encourage folks to think of whether a massively expanded version of Bartlett's Famous Quotations would be likely to include this quote, for the sake of the quote itself.) The WP article is a reasonable place to cite this quote, as its importance is in its part in the story. ~ Jeff Q (talk) 23:41, 17 November 2006 (UTC)
