Wikiquote talk:Votes for deletion/Daniel Brandt

Firstly, this discussion was begun following a discussion on Wikipedia Review and many, probably most, of the votes were canvassed on that discussion. Ripberger is no doubt a senior member of Wikipedia Review.

Secondly, it is claimed that Daniel Brandt is not notable because he has no article on the English Wikipedia. However, as one of the !voters notes, he does have articles on several Wikipedias in other languages.

Thirdly, is it the case that having no article on the English Wikipedia is grounds for deleting an article?

Fourthly, some of the !voters have not previously edited Wikiquote.

Fifthly, it seems that the subject himself believes that the article should be deleted (see the link to Wikipedia Review). I would personally think that that was grounds for deletion, but is that Wikiquote policy?

Thank you for your attention.--Reviewer 11:43, 8 June 2009 (UTC)


 * Re. (1) and (4): The closing admin is charged with taking this into account, and could hardly fail to notice the situation.
 * Re. (2) and (3): This considered significant evidence on questions of notability, but is not always the determining factor.
 * Re. (5): There is no explicit policy to do so in all cases. It could depend on such factors as whether the subject is a public person and whether the content is only of ephemeral or marginal interest. (Cf. recent board resolution)
 * As already mentioned by reference to en.wiki's snowball clause, there does not appear to be any doubt about the outcome. ~ Ningauble 15:30, 8 June 2009 (UTC)
