Ridge Racer
Supposedly dedicated for a videogame, but currently with one quote(?), it would be rather a speedy candidate for my eyes... --Aphaia 13:55, 24 July 2006 (UTC)


 * Vote closed. Result: delete (3 deletes, incl. 1 implicit; 1 keep). ~ Jeff Q (talk) 19:34, 7 August 2006 (UTC)


 * Comment: Not a vote, but I'd just like to point out that a lot of content was blanked on July 17, which I've now restored. -- Robert 14:02, 24 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep now that previously-deleted content has been restored. &mdash;LrdChaos 15:21, 24 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep, but trim to avoid copyright violation, as it seems like it might be quoting too much (possibly everything) of what is said in the video game. ~ Jeff Q (talk) 15:53, 24 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete unless trimmed to pithy subset of quotes. (It also needs source format cleanup.) A quick review of the relevant WP articles suggest that the only truly notable quote from this game series is its title, spoken dramatically ("Riiiiidge RACER!"). Looking over the existing article, I couldn't determine which if any of the other quotes stood out, and I don't have the familiarity with the subject that would help me make this call. If the involved editors don't show any interest in justifying this article's existence by editing it down to such a subset, I'd prefer to get rid of this one and wait for someone who will do the necessary work. ~ Jeff Q (talk) 18:50, 4 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Comment: Looking at the page in detail, I don't know if it would be a copyvio as-is. It appears as though many of the quotes grouped under the "Quotes" section are from different games in the series, not all from the same game. I don't know how many quotes there are in each game, though, and if the list includes all of them (which, I admit, is quite possible, considering it's a racing game, which involves very few quotes) then it would be. &mdash;LrdChaos 18:57, 4 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete unless someone volunteers to reduce quotes for potential copyvio. - InvisibleSun 03:19, 25 July 2006 (UTC)
