John Madden
While this person is certainly notable, I don't find any of these quotes to be particularly memorable (with the possible exception of the Tinactin line). Surely there are better, sourced quotes to be found for him. ~ UDScott 20:40, 1 February 2007 (UTC)


 * Vote closed. Result: delete (7 deletes; no dissent). ~ Jeff Q (talk) 12:38, 9 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete, unless sourced, pithy quotes are added and the page is cleaned up. ~ UDScott 20:40, 1 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete. I'm also a bit cheesed by the Edit Summary of the person who began the page: "Created a John Madden article for others to clean up." - InvisibleSun 02:18, 2 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete the page is a mess--McNoddy 09:54, 2 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete unless sourced quotes added; delete the existing ones regardless. It's trivial to fix the formatting, but the quotes are also trivial and unoriginal. (I don't consider Madden's use of an anti-fungal medication's ad slogan especially meaningful, let alone quoteworthy.) Such an entertaining figure deserves a decent quote article. ~ Jeff Q (talk) 12:03, 2 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete. Useless as is. --Ubiquity 12:12, 2 February 2007 (UTC)

 * Delete per above. Cbrown1023 19:01, 3 February 2007 (UTC)
