Mel Gibson
Definite violation of WQ:NPOV; this particular quote (and the subsequent apology) could probably find a place as a small part of a larger page, but are hardly representative of Gibson. &mdash;LrdChaos 02:40, 10 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Vote closed. Result: keep (seven votes to keep, no dissent). &mdash;LrdChaos 15:55, 24 August 2006 (UTC)


 * Delete unless other, sourced quotes are added to the page. &mdash;LrdChaos 02:40, 10 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep now that other quotes have been added. I've also suggested a change to the NPOV policy at Wikiquote talk:Neutral point of view. &mdash;LrdChaos 14:32, 10 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep and expand - Gibson is clearly notable, and has said many notable things worth reporting here. BD2412 T 02:43, 10 August 2006 (UTC)
 * I've added a few. BD2412 T 02:58, 10 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep, but source the quotes and remove them if unsourceable. (Adding other quotes would really help, too, to give a less-narrow view of this person.) We don't have a formal policy to match w:Wikipedia:Biographies of living persons (the only WQ-specific thing in WQ:NPOV is that non-quote text must conform to a neutral point-of-view), but we need to follow Wikimedia Foundation's sensitivity to this general issue. Since we are supposed to have sources for all quotes anyway, it's reasonable to demand them for controversial statements from celebrities. ~ Jeff Q (talk) 06:19, 10 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep per Jeffq. -- Robert 12:58, 10 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep, concur with Jeffq. ~ UDScott 18:45, 10 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep. - InvisibleSun 20:25, 12 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep. 121a0012 02:44, 16 August 2006 (UTC)
