Selena Ravot
Self-admitted vanity. ~ MosheZadka (Talk) 10:46, 10 August 2005 (UTC)


 * Vote closed: Result: delete and remove quotes from theme articles (3 deletes, no dissent) ~ MosheZadka (Talk) 10:19, 25 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete unless replaced with a decent article about a provably notable person ~ MosheZadka (Talk) 10:46, 10 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete. ~ Jeff Q (talk) 13:32, 10 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete - Her only notable quote is already captured on the Procrastination page. UDScott 13:57, 10 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Comment: excellent catch! We should probably remove the quote from Procrastination if the result is to delete (as seems likely) ~ MosheZadka (Talk) 14:24, 10 August 2005 (UTC)
 * This is another of many examples of how littered with unnotable quotes our theme pages are. Someday, we'll have to invest some major effort in weeding these out. ~ Jeff Q (talk) 15:17, 10 August 2005 (UTC)
 * In general, wikiquote seems to have gathered vast acres of crap in which you can plant crops. Slowly, but surely, the crap seems to die out faster than the new crap is moving in, meaning that after a finite time, we'll have zero crap :) ~ MosheZadka (Talk) 15:38, 10 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Mixing your Buffy metaphor with my park metaphor, MosheZadka, I've noticed no general trend in pulling weeds out of otherwise healthy gardens, only removing undesirable gardens in toto, which is much easier to do. Have you looked at Computers lately? ~ Jeff Q (talk) 17:01, 10 August 2005 (UTC)
 * I'm avoiding looking at Computers because of exactly that reason :) My point is that there is enough in-toto crap to fix (articles with no intro being my latest craze, you may remember the categorizing drive a while ago which flushed many VfDs out, etc.) Once we reach a more or less stable ground article-wise, we can start cleaning out themes (for example, by mandating that every theme quote has to come from a specific source page, which is wikilinked &mdash; that will at least reduce the problem to the Anonymous hell-hole). I'm a hardcore eventualist, which is why I referenced "slowly but surely" and a "finite amount of time". ~ MosheZadka (Talk) 17:10, 10 August 2005 (UTC)
