Nick plott
Notability not established. I suggest that "famous shoutcaster" is a contradiction in terms. 121a0012 03:48, 23 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Vote closed. Result: delete (eight votes to delete (one implicit, two from users with little/no contribution history), seven votes to keep (all from anon. editors with no contributions outside of this). —LrdChaos (talk) 03:31, 31 October 2006 (UTC)


 * Keep. 71.162.77.109 05:19, 23 October 2006 (UTC) Nick "Tasteless" Plott is well-known throughout the international Starcraft: Broodwar community, and has many loyal and devoted fans who appreciate his shoutcasting. Here is a link to one of the quote appreciation threads: http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=45443
 * Keep. He does not need to be world famous to have good quotes. 02:11, 23 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep. Not everything on WikiPedia is notable to general readers. His quotes are entertaining to much of the StarCraft community, and since most of these quotes are more recent, his fans may just be catching on.

 * Delete. He may be famous in his field (I don't know) but it is too specialist a field for him to be notable to general readers. Yes, either the quotes or the person have to be famous in order to remain on Wikiquote. Fys. &#147;Ta fys aym&#148;. 21:15, 23 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep. Perhaps not 'famous', but certainly 'popular'. Of course his popularity is limited to the SC:BW cult scene, but it is worth noting that said following is world-wide and rather large.
 * Keep. Worth to stay in my opinion, it's pretty funny and is relevant to the starcraft scene.
 * Keep. The most funny shoutcaster ever.


 * Comment. As of this comment, none of the anon. editors voting have any contributions outside of VfD (and with only one exception, no participation outside of this VfD). —LrdChaos (talk) 13:02, 24 October 2006 (UTC)


 * Keep. As of this vote, LrdChaos has too much time on his hands, to be rechecking things he's already voted on. The fans are simply showing their support of Nick. I'm sure this quote page will have a pretty decent number of people visiting it. 165.236.228.81 00:29, 25 October 2006 (UTC)
 * 165.236.228.81, it happens to be a responsibility of sysops like LrdChaos to actively monitor VfD discussions, especially for ballot stuffing by editors whose only Wikiquote activity is to support an article regardless of WQ policies they don't bother to read or try to understand. ~ Jeff Q (talk) 02:21, 25 October 2006 (UTC)


 * Delete. I note that the only presence Nick Plott (what is it with people's refusal to capitalize names?) has on Wikipedia is buried in 2005 World Cyber Games, as a commentator. I found only 55 unique Google hits, which is about the same as quite-unnotable me. (I am also rather bemused by computer gamers accusing conscientious editors working on a global work like Wikiquote of having too much free time.) ~ Jeff Q (talk) 02:33, 25 October 2006 (UTC)

 * Delete - It bears no relevance whatsoever. Omghgomg 06:15, 27 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete - Obscure, and the quotations seem rather unremarkable and devoid of cleverness. -LHollister 21:36, 30 October 2006 (UTC)
