Jonathan safran foer
While this is a notable subject, the single quote currently provided is basically meaningless. Perhaps it makes sense in its context in the cited book, but on its own it means nothing and makes little sense. —LrdChaos (talk) 14:39, 16 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Vote closed: Result: Delete. Per JeffQ, no prejudice against recreation of a meaningful and informative article. Fys. &#147;Ta fys aym&#148;. 11:05, 24 January 2007 (UTC)

 * Delete. It turns out that this is the first sentence of the book. Are people inclined to think that the first and last sentences — of a book, movie, etc. — are inherently quotable?  It would seem so, if Wikiquote pages are any indication. - InvisibleSun 08:57, 17 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete Agree with LrdChaos's assessment. WIKISUPERFIXER 09:52, 17 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Weak keep. I'm torn between the honest attempt to provide a sourced quote from a notable subject (however incomplete the source) and the single quote that has no apparent meaning without context. If we know it's the first line of the book, we should be able to provide a specific source and maybe even a context, so it becomes more of a content issue. (There'd be no question if there was at least another, more meaningful, sourced quote.) If the tide turns on this article and we decide to keep it, it should be moved to Jonathan Safran Foer, of course. ~ Jeff Q (talk) 01:59, 22 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete unless someone can find at least one other sourced quote. Dev920 10:59, 24 January 2007 (UTC)
