Robert Morrison
This particular Robert Morrison is non-notable. Wikipedia does not have an article on him. The Wikiquote article just points to a disambig. page of which this Robert Morrison is not on. Also, if you google his quote all you get is two websites which probably copy Wikquote. --Hottentot Nominated by 24.4.227.36, 02:11, 7 September 2005 (UTC)


 * Vote closed. Result: kept (2 Keeps; 1 implicit Delete). ~ Jeff Q (talk)
 * Keep his picture appears on Phi Delta Theta, so it seems there is historical data on him, and a founder of an encyclopedic society is notable enough, I believe. However, the wikipedia link should probably be removed. ~ MosheZadka (Talk) 04:22, 7 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Comment: Robert Morrison is now a redirect to the Scottish missionary, with Robert Morrison (disambiguation) as the dab page. Therefore, I've fixed the WQ article's link go to the dab page and have added an entry for the fraternity founder. I've also fixed the WQ link from Wikipedia to clarify that the "quote collection" is for the &Phi;&Delta;&Theta; guy. I have no current opinion on Morrison's notability; I just wanted to ensure the appropriateness of the links. ~ Jeff Q (talk) 07:04, 7 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep if this quote can be attributed to him. Concur with Moshe; A founder of a known society deserves an article. As for scotish mission, it seems to aim to another R. Morrison, a Scotland born protestant preacher and chinologist . --Aphaia 20:38, 19 September 2005 (UTC)
