Peter dinatale[edit]

I noticed that an article that you've created and/or edited, Peter dinatale, has been nominated for deletion. Based on my experience reviewing quote articles, I suspect these are not quotes of notable figures with published references, which is what Wikiquote collects, but rather quotes from yourself and/or friends of yours. These are what we refer to as "vanity" quotes, much like Wikipedia's "vanity" articles. As is pointed out in Wikiquote:FAQ and What Wikiquote is not, which I recommend reading, such quotes are perfectly acceptable on one's user page, but are not a proper subject for quotation in Wikiquote articles.

If so, I invite you to copy the quotes to your user page before the article is deleted. If instead these people have some notoriety in the world at large, and have been quoted in the mainstream media, please provide evidence of this in the deletion entry mentioned above. Thank you for your cooperation. ~ Jeff Q (talk) 16:24, 23 January 2006 (UTC) ~ Jeff Q (talk) 17:23, 23 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
