Ong Lee Shyh
No wp article, no intro, google hits are numerous and all point to the same quote. ~ MosheZadka (Talk) 7 July 2005 18:37 (UTC)


 * Vote closed: Result: delete (3 deletes, no dissent, not adding to Computer)
 * Delete ~ MosheZadka (Talk) 7 July 2005 18:37 (UTC)
 * Delete - His or her name can't be found even in the USENET archive (on google). But this quote sounds a bit witty, so merge to Computer as anonymous quote.--Aphaia 21:40, 9 July 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete unless evidence of notability provided. And I wish people would stop suggesting that unnotable but interesting quotes, even when attributed to specific people, should get tossed into Anonymous as if it's a garbage can for wit (which is exactly what Computer is right now). Serious quote compendiums require that quotes by "Anonymous" be well-known, not just witty, and they don't accept sourced quotes unless the person is proven notable.

 * Comment: Though your opinion is different from me, but it is still suggestive. I found two possibly helpful ideas on your opinion: how do you think we being to draft two guidelines: Guideline for anonymous quotes and Guideline on notability? --Aphaia 00:16, 10 July 2005 (UTC)
 * I think these are good ideas, but I don't see how we'll be able to get them going properly when we're still having trouble:
 * working on: Help:Transwiki, Blocking policy, Category schemes, Deletion policy
 * updating: FAQ, Guide to layout, Policies and guidelines, Speedy deletions, Templates
 * lagging on: Manual of style, Reference desk, Requested entries, Shortcuts, Spellings, Utilities, What Wikiquote is not
 * just getting started on: QotD/Quote proposals, Vote, Voting
 * trying to manage: Vandalism in progress, Village pump, Votes for deletion
 * and dealing with other pages that I'm not even tracking. And that doesn't even include all the red links to other policy pages that we don't have yet, or the informally-borrowed Wikipedia practices that are rather complicated and not-quite-relevant to Wikiquote. Nor does it include all the time we spend arguing with one-issue editors with plenty of time to burn. We've got enough work for 20-30 very active editors, and we don't have half that number working these issues. I feel that these policy drafts we create wind up being one person's ideas tweaked by thoughts from 1-5 other people, which makes me extremely uncomfortable contemplating new drafts. — Jeff Q (talk) 05:37, 13 July 2005 (UTC)
