Excessive obscure quotes and pov pushing[edit]

These quotes by Suhas and others (who is of doubtful notability) were recently added , the quotes are obscure and only published once in a news blog.

The quote is also in about 10 other wikiquote articles.

This is a high level article. This article should have more quotes from books, rather than websites or newspapers, that have timeless quotability. --დამოკიდებულება (talk) 10:25, 3 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@დამოკიდებულება: The quote by Suhas was added roughly four months before you commented here. I am therefore speculating that this may explain the reluctance of other contributors to engage in discussion with you.
Here are my views on what you wrote (keep in mind that I have not read the WQ policy on this matter):
  • RE quote is also in about 10 other wikiquote articles: I don't see this as an issue as long as the quote is relevant wherever it is used
  • RE the quotes are obscure: that is a matter of opinion
  • RE the origin of the quote is a news blog: As long as the quote can be verified as written by Suhas I don't see this as an issue
Your opinion? Cheers, Ottawahitech (talk) 22:22, 22 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
I just noticed you did not ping anyone, which may suggest that your comment was not even seen by any other contributor until I stumbled on it three months later. Ottawahitech (talk) 22:27, 22 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
