Neglected Mario Characters

 * Vote closed. Result: keep (3 Keeps; 1 Delete; 1 Neutral). ~ Jeff Q (talk) 15:16, 9 April 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete: This wikiquote page not really needed. - SPKx 01:26, 26 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep. I don't see why the above user feels this page "is not really needed." This seems to be a legitimate webcomic, and the quotes seem fine. It might need some expansion, but it certainly seems to be enough to warrant having a page here. ~ UDScott 13:22, 26 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Ummmm....I created the NC wikipedia page and I should be qualified enough to decide whether or not a wikiquote page is really required for NC. - SPKx 00:21, 31 March 2006 (UTC)
 * SPKx, creators of Wikipedia and Wikiquote articles do not have any special rights or authority over their content or appropriateness. Wikipedians and Wikiquotians, as a community, determine whether an article should or shouldn't exist, subject only to basic project guidelines. The best way to make an argument for or against an article is to cite specific information that would persuade others to agree with your opinion. Argument from authority usually doesn't work well on wikis. ~ Jeff Q (talk) 01:17, 31 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep: Agree with above user; seems legitimate. ~ Jesussaves 23:12, 31 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep. The comic certainly appears notable, and while the page could definitely use expanding, I don't see why it shouldn't stay. &mdash;LrdChaos 19:51, 31 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Neutral. The current content of the article seems fairly inane, but that alone isn't a reason to delete an article, merely one to improve or stub-tag it (the latter of which I just did). The real questions are (A) "Is this a notable subject?" and (B) "Is it likely to have enough quotes for a minimal article?". I don't know enough to answer (B), which seems to be the basis of SPKx's objection, but other webcomics seem to provide enough quotes for their subjects. As far as (A) notability goes, Sprite comic claims that this is the "first well documented sprite comic", but the WP article doesn't currently list a single reliable source, making this assertion highly questionable. (The webcomic itself only hits 224K in Alexa, although it has a solid Google presence.) If I was sure this couldn't be remedied, I'd vote delete (and nominate the WP article for deletion as well). But I'm not, so I'm going to remain on the fence for this one. ~ Jeff Q (talk) 10:36, 9 April 2006 (UTC)
