 * Delete unless person identified, notability evidence provided, and quote(s) sourced. No WP article. The only Google presence I found was a minister from Atlanta mentioned in passing in an article (no quote), and two websites that had at one time quoted this unidentified person in their daily quotes section (one of which, coincidentally, also quoted Geri Weitzman — see above VfD). ~ Jeff Q (talk) 19:26, 8 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete. This is such a well-known quote and here it is attributed to someone almost entirely unknown. I for one don't believe it. Fys. &#147;Ta fys aym&#148;. 21:07, 8 October 2006 (UTC)

 * I searched for Rodney Tremble on Google.com, and found that he was quoted on many different websites (most of them were school and education websites). I couldn't however find any information on who this person is (or was) or where/when the quotes attributed to him were first spoken/written. -- R160K 16:49, 11 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Unfortunately, that's a common problem with quotes and quote websites, and is a major reason we work hard to source quotes. The Internet makes it possible to spread inaccurate information across the world in minutes. Since people have a natural tendency to accept things they here from many sources, this makes it easy for misinformation to become popular belief. A quick way to prove this to yourself is to pick a song whose lyrics you know that has a tricky passage you only learned by reading the liner notes, and check out the first dozen lyrics websites for the song. You'll typically find several variations of the questionable passage — some quite silly — which simply get copied between sites. Quotes have the same problem, which can only be fixed by finding the quotes in reliable publications, preferably the originals. ~ Jeff Q (talk) 17:34, 11 October 2006 (UTC)
