Rules of Acquisition
This doesn't look like WQ material to me, although I'm having trouble explaining what's wrong with it. (Perhaps copyvio?) 121a0012 07:22, 11 November 2006 (UTC)

 * Delete. I don't have any trouble. This is most definitely a copyvio, totally without reliable sources, and apparently original research to boot (rule renumbering to redact continuity problems). The sources given are all fan webpages, and two of them appear to be non-functional (one from account suspension — perhaps due to copyvio?). This subject has already failed one VfD (see Votes for deletion archive/Ferengi Rules of Aqusition), but since it's been 17 months since the last attempt, and the subject is noteworthy, I backed off of speedy-deleting it forthwith. However, I've blanked the quote content as a copyvio. If we get a select subset of quotes, each with a reliable source (e.g., the Star Trek: Deep Space Nine episode and character dialog and/or a reliable publication), we might craft a proper article. But Wikiquote is not the place to assemble a canonical list of Star Trek trivia. (There's a Wikipedia article on this anyway — Rules of Acquisition.) ~ Jeff Q (talk) 10:48, 11 November 2006 (UTC)
