Votes for deletion is the process where the community discusses whether a page should be deleted or not, depending on the consensus of the discussion.

Please read and understand the Wikiquote deletion policy before editing this page.

  • Explain your reasoning for every page you list here, even if you think it is obvious.
  • Always be sure to sign your entry or vote, or it will not be counted.


The process

Requesting deletions

To list a single article for deletion for the first time, follow this three-step process:

I: Put the deletion tag on the article.
Insert the {{vfd-new}} tag at the top of the page.
  • Please do not mark the edit as minor.
  • Use the edit summary to indicate the nomination; this can be as simple as "VFD".
  • You can check the "Watch this page" box to follow the page in your watchlist. This allows you to notice if the VfD tag is removed by a vandal.
  • Save the page.
II: Create the article's deletion discussion page.
Click the link saying "this article's entry" to open the deletion-debate page.
  • Copy the following: {{subst:vfd-new2|pg=PAGENAME|text=REASONING — ~~~~}}. Replace PAGENAME with the name of the page you're nominating, and REASONING with an explanation of why you think the page should be deleted. Note that the signature/timestamp characters (~~~~) are placed inside the braces {{ }}, not outside as with standard posts.
  • Explanations are important when nominating a page for deletion. While it may be obvious to you why a page should be deleted, not everyone will understand and you should provide a clear but concise explanation. Please remember to sign your comment by putting ~~~~ at the end.
  • Consider checking "Watch this page" to follow the progress of the debate.
  • Save the page.
III: Notify users who monitor VfD discussion.
Copy the tag below, and then click  THIS LINK  to open the deletion log page. At the bottom of the log page, insert:
{{subst:vfd-new3|pg=PAGENAME}}

replacing PAGENAME appropriately.

  • Please include the name of the nominated page in the edit summary.
  • Save the page. Your insertion will be automatically expanded to the same form as the preceding lines in the file: {{Wikiquote:Votes for deletion/PAGENAME}}.
  • Consider also adding {{subst:VFDNote|PAGENAME}} ~~~~ to the talk page of the article's principal contributor(s).

Note: Suggestions for requesting deletion of multiple pages, non-article pages, and repeat nominations may be found at VFD tips.

Voting on deletions

Once listed, the entire Wikiquote community is invited to vote on whether to keep or delete each page, or take some other action on it. Many candidate articles will have specific dates by which to vote; if none is given, you can assume at least seven days after the article is listed before the votes are tallied.

To vote, jump or scroll down to the entry you wish to vote on, click its "edit" link, and add your vote to the end of the list, like one of these:

  • Keep. ~~~~
  • Delete. ~~~~
  • (other actions; explain) ~~~~
  • Comment (not including action) ~~~~

Possible other actions include Merge, Rename, Redirect, Move to (sister project). Please be clear and concise when describing your action.

The four tildes (~~~~) will automatically add your user ID and a timestamp to your vote. This is necessary to ensure each Wikiquotian gets only a single vote. You can add some comments to your vote (before the tildes) to explain your reasons, but it is not required. However, it may help others to decide which way to vote.

Please do not add a vote after the closing date and time; any late vote may be struck out and ignored by the closing admin.

NOTE: Although we use the term "vote", VfD is not specifically a democratic process, as we have no way of verifying "one person, one vote". It is designed to "take the temperature" of the community on a subject. Sysops have the responsibility of judging the results based on a variety of factors, including (besides the votes) policies, practices, precedents, arguments, compromises between conflicting positions, and seriousness of the participants.

Closing votes and deleting articles

Sysops have the responsibility to review the list and determine what articles have achieved a consensus, whether it is for deletion, preservation, or some other action. All candidate articles should be listed here at least seven days before the votes are tallied. Many VfD entries will have "Vote closes" notices to indicate when the votes will be tallied.

  • The sysop tallying the vote should add a "vote closed" header with the result of the vote, and sign it.
  • If consensus is for deletion, the sysop should follow the deletion process to delete the article.
  • If it is to keep, or if there is no consensus for action, the sysop should remove the {{vfd-new}} tag from the article and post a notice on the article's talk page about the completed VfD, including a link to the VfD discussion on that article. The {{vfd-kept-new}} template can be used for a standard notice.
  • There may also be a vote to move (rename) or otherwise change the article. The sysop's actions will depend on the specific situation in these cases. In those cases, a notice should also be posted on the talk page documenting the decision.

To avoid conflict of interest, a sysop should never close a VfD that he or she started. However, a sysop may close a VfD in which he or she has voted.

After a reasonable time, a sysop will then move the entire entry into the appropriate month page of the VfD log. (Some old discussions are available only in the old Wikiquote:Votes for deletion archive.)

Note: In the interest of cross-wiki cooperation, please check Wikipedia to make sure their articles don't link back to an article that has just been deleted. Also de-link any other language edition articles.

Reviewing closed votes

All closed votes will be archived indefinitely in per-month pages at Wikiquote:Votes for deletion/Log. (A few are still found only in the old Wikiquote:Votes for deletion archive.) See that page for details.

Deletion candidates

FakeWikipedia

Fake Wikipedia articles where one-sided opinions are presented as facts. Blocked POV-pushing editors created all these. Not one notable quote among them, nor is there likely to be on these topics. — HouseOfChange (talk) 22:23, 23 April 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Vote closes: 23:00, 30 April 2022 (UTC)

The socks created some articles that can be rescued by adding good quotes. But these "fake Wikipedia articles," we should delete, because the topics are not suited to Wikiquote:

Blocked user Om777om has not been shown by Checkuser to be the same as the socks above, but he created 3 articles in this category that were later edited by the socks.

I apologize in advance if I'm not making this complex suggestion correctly. HouseOfChange (talk) 22:23, 23 April 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Yes, delete them all. I think doing these as a group is the best way to handle this problem. Antandrus (talk) 04:32, 24 April 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Oppose:
  • I am not familiar with the term Fake Wikipedia articles
  • To my knowledge we do not delete pages because "the topics are not suited to Wikiquote"

@Ottawahitech: Real Wikipedia articles achieve NPOV by relying on fact-checked RS before making assertions. These articles use quote selection, images, and bolding to imply that one point of view is endorsed by wikivoice. I have spent hours trying to improve other "sock" articles, where the topic is deep enough to inspire notable quotes. Wikiquote has an article on Crimes against humanity, it doesn't need one for Crimes Against Humanity Initiative . And so on. HouseOfChange (talk) 23:34, 24 April 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]
  • Keep United States embargo against Cuba, a notable topic that can likely be improved by adding quotes reflecting other perspectives; delete the rest, as the topics covered are on a smaller scale or are less cohesive as topics. BD2412 T 07:19, 26 April 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]
    Some may want to consider that this particular page has clearly had significantly more interest than the others, as reflected below:

    1) Information Warfare Community, Created 8 Apr 2022, total pageviews: 450; 17 days; Avg pageviews per day: 26
    The topic is extremely relevant to the current events, as nearly everyone witnesses the actions of this group, once known as the "Information Dominance Corps". ~anon 24.214.70.31 22:46, 26 April 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]
    Please keep "United States embargo against Cuba." Changes to grammar, spelling, etc. of course. But Wikipedia should stay out of US politics. This is an informative article. This article helps reduce the huge amount of ignorance among Americans, and perhaps others, about US-Cuban relations. It shows the relevant pros and cons. To remove this article would be an affirmative assistance to the anti-Cuba forces which base their success at dictating US policy on keeping Americans uninformed, and therefore easily mislead.

    We aren’t here to help nor hinder anyone, but your case is otherwise reasonable. Dronebogus (talk) 14:18, 15 November 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]
  • Oppose I object to this, because it is too vaguely worded. How do you even define a "fake Wikipedia article"? --Spafky (talk) 12:31, 1 June 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]
@Spafky: "Fake Wikipedia" is a descriptor I made up on the spot when trying to explain why these articles shared a common problem: quotes all so POV they ended up sounding like undisputed facts about each topic. I spent many hours trimming and balancing other articles created by the LibraryClerk191 sockpuppets, but these seemed to me topics where it would be hard to find notable "quotable" quotes. HouseOfChange (talk) 18:00, 17 June 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]
  • Delete Information Warfare Community, and Crimes Against Humanity Initiative, both simply not very notable or quotable. Keep USS Liberty incident, notable quotes exist and it’s generally a notable incident; criticism of the official accounts isn’t some random fringe opinion even if most of the quotes are/were from an anti-Semitic conspiracy theorist (broken clocks are right twice a day, yada yada). Delete Anti-Russian sentiment, at least for now; POV-fork invasion apologist magnet. Neutral on United States sanctions, it’s a notable topic but I’m worried it’s too much of a POV fork. Dronebogus (talk) 16:33, 18 June 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]
  • Keep: (all remaining): In essence all are notable. I do have concerns on the presented Quotability on some and many may need a cleanup on an individual basis. There may need to be NPOV tags on some. No objection to a re-nom in after an interval but I'd suggest not bundling unless its useful to do so for a group of two or three. -- User:Djm-leighpark(a)talk 09:54, 20 January 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
  • Keep: USS Liberty incident, and United States sanctions: The sanctions article is already well-populated, though the Liberty article needs more quotes from survivors. The Anti-Russian sentiment article needs a couple of non-sequitur quotes, which are unrelated to the subject and included speciously and with an obvious agenda, such as Smedley Butler's "War is a racket", removed. --Harry Sibelius (talk) 02:39, 26 January 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]


Module:Message box/old

This is for Module:Message box/old and Module:Message box/old/styles.css.

I believe the technical term for what we are looking at here is "a complete fucking mess". These are duplicates of the message box module that were created so Ilovemydoodle could mess around with the main module, which is in active use.

As best I can tell the background of these modules goes something like this:

  • Ilovemydoodle decides that they want to change how some of message boxes look on the site for some inexplicable reason.
  • They start using the main Module:Message box as a sandbox to screw around with making the boxes appear at different locations in the text.
  • They copy the existing, working module to an /old subpage
  • They modify some, but not all, of the existing templates to swap to the /old subpage, e.g. [1]

We now have a complete mess left over to fix, notably:

  • We have two copies of the same module, both of which are in use.
  • We have two versions of "omboxes", each of which looks slightly different.
  • A module being used on hundereds of pages is being treated as a sandbox.
  • The output of a long term, stable module has been changed without explanation or reason.

My proposal to fix this is thus:

  • The changes to the main module are reverted, and we check that nothing important is relying on the modified form of omboxs.
  • Any edits which introduced the /old subpage into use are reverted.
  • the /old subpages are deleted, returning us to one module.

If, in the future, Ilovemydoodle decides they want to play around with a heavily used module they do so in their own sandbox (or even better, on the test wiki), not on live code. If they want to create a brand new type of message box they should create a new template, not hijack an existing one. — 192.76.8.85 15:02, 3 August 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]

  • Delete per nom. I did a comparison of the two modules and the differences are sufficiently trivial that {"nothing important is relying on the modified form of omboxs" already. * Pppery * it has begun 05:09, 25 November 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]
  • Delete or Keep but do something and don't dither!: I firmly suggest an admin closes this with authorisation for an Admin who is aware of of the issues. e.g. UDScott or Pppery to have a good faith attempt to fix the issues. This situation is a little unusual as admins Pppery and UDScott seem aware of the details of the problem but they've voted and therefore due to either best practice or ineligibility are unable to close the VFD. However I can see some admins who might close this are not minded to get involved the nitty gritty and to close on the basis that UDScott and Pppery are authorised to do the necessary at some point within a month. Thankyou. -- User:Djm-leighpark(a)talk 08:26, 2 February 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Concerns over lack of notability. No associated English article though there is currently a redirect. Categories on that direct indicate possible promotionalism concernes. Questioning if Quotes themselves are significant.— User:Djm-leighpark(a)talk 13:27, 5 December 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]

  • Comment: While I agree that this person is likely not worth having a page, the event that occurred (the attack on Paul Pelosi) is a notable event. Maybe this page should be redirected to a page about that event and additional quotes can be found. ~ UDScott (talk) 18:37, 6 December 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]

  • Comment: (as nom.) I'm only vaguely aware of the incident, but note policy WQ:QLP applies in a case like this not only to a perpetrator but also to any victim and I need a need not to overtly promote a victimiser in such cases or give them undue if any prominence on a victim's page, and that may be a precautionary reason specifically not to redirect/merge. -- User:Djm-leighpark(a)talk 00:50, 8 December 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]
  • redirect: I just spotted (or an least realised the significance of) a redirect on enWQ and that was sufficient for me to create d:Q116786368 which I've sitelinked. Unfortunately with my understanding I cannot currently link that Wikidata item to an English Wikipedia redirect (a newishly introduced feature) as my understanding of the required procedure is that it requires someone not blocked on enWQ as I am. While I believe the redirect is appropriate I remain concerned the platforming of individual over a victim may be inappropriate on WQ:QLP basis so I believe a blanket merge is inappropriate but that is a tricky argument to navigate. -- Djm-leighpark(a)talk

Notability (just because she has a Wikipedia page is not sufficient); the one quote is just babble; and I see on her Wikipedia page that she self-publishes her books, which could be construed as self-promotion — Markjoseph125 (talk) 03:07, 31 December 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]

  • Delete: I have concerns when Wikiquote is used to to platform and amplify personal comments against others particularly where W:WP:BLP or W:WP:BLPO are involved. Basically Wikiquote should not in any way support trolling, there is a victim at the end of it. I AGF the nom. is correct in there assertion the book is SPS and therefore quality secondary tertiary or secondary sources should be used to support any quote from it.

Because of sources (I think I (As my alt account Deirge) seen on ProQuest (and it was a quick glance and my Spanish is not great) I don't feel maintaining a delete votes this one so I'm swung to neutral As it stands article should not stay here, but to remain the onus is on those who wish to keep to improve the article with cited content that improves representation of notability.

Pragmatically moving to keep for my own mental and physical safety. My alt Deirge has created & sitelinked a Wikidata item after confirming "OPEN WINDOW. (2012, 03). New Internationalist, , 54. Retrieved from. Also Deirge found per "Dibujando por la paz", humor gráfico para cambiar el mundo: VIÑETAS PLANTU. (2011, May 23).

  • Keep: I think both wikipedia and wikiquote will be better when male artists aren't represented so much more than female artists. Would be nice if there was a way to make sure most of the people voting on something like this are women. Some about her background and awards she's won: https://www.irancartoon.com/site/artists/elena-ospina. Sorry if I format this incorrectly, this kind of page is new to me - User:A23423413 15:24, 6 January 2023
@A23423413: My understanding is enWikiquote inclusion/exclusion criteria is gender neutral and I am reasonably sure most people identifying as males on will not specifically vote against articles with women as subjects, in fact I'd suggest there might be a very slight bias in the opposite direction due to systemic bias in sources/(candidate-article)population. Even if Ospina is notable the important thing is the enWikiquote article demonstrates/prepresents it. That's fairly automatic if there is a link to an enWikipedia article that has persisted (stayed around in mainspace more that just fleetingly with unresolved notability tags). Otherwise it should need a brief high quality article summary stating notability aspects of the subject using independent w:WP:RS sources which should indicate the notability aspects of the subject. Any award worth its salt should probably link to an enWikipedia article, it might just be a industry or COI local award. Simplely stating a person is a female "Colombian painter, illustrator and cartoonist." does not in itself indicate notability. Pulling some info into the biography at the Link-rottable bare URL you've mentioned would be helpful albeit that's not helpful. My alt account Deirge has access to [The Wikipedia Library] (I've confirmed in my case my indef block was not an issue) and believe Proquest there has some possibly useful references you might be interested in for this subject. In fact just looking at Wikiquote:Votes for deletion/James P. Walsh which is a useful study the article might be suffering from a "lack of representation of notability" rather than a "lack of notability", either of which should lead to delete. Hope this helps a little. -- User:Djm-leighpark(a)talk 12:05, 8 January 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Spider-Man 2 (video game)

Seemingly non-diligent duplicate of the earlier 2017 Spider-Man 2 (Video Game) article which has caused some time to determine what was going on. My interpreation of this content is that it is of poor quotabilty but that is subjective. More seriously there may be concerns over the accuracy of the content and as to whether lenght of dialogue is getting towards a copyvio. In all events I'm not prepared to merge and I would suggest anyone voting to merge only does so if they are prepared to action the merge themselves.

Soul Eater unlinked articles

Soul Eater (manga) related set of creations is undoubtably itself notable, the problem with these articles is that they are not linked to Wikipedia articles where they are clearly mentioned and this makes it difficult to verify. There is also no sign of them having any quotes or linking to articles with quotes.

List of video games articles

Seemingly part of an abandoned good faith project by a couple of editors to set up a list of video articles set up that can already be better and more sustainably handled by categories. It attempts to integrate a proposed article system that should not be in mainspace and unless carefully maintained and monitored can lead to articles being suggested that may end up being deleted. These things can be fulfillin to set up initiallly but a maintenance burden for those picking up the project after the original creators have abandoned it. — User:Djm-leighpark(a)talk 05:57, 15 January 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Switching to a keep. I've sort of re-engaged and done a little to address the problem a little. Its possible/likely the book is the more notable entity (and binding an online borrowable edition has been a help) but if this is to remain a bio article the lead section really needs a background summary and some sourcing and I've done a little more on that. Whereas on a Wikiquote article backed by a directly associated English Wikipedia article the lead section here does not not have to be sourced for verification I can't recommend strongly enough if there is no English Wikipedia article then sourcing of the lead section is important. I note I am below the safe standard I suggested in a comment below. -- User:Djm-leighpark(a)talk 20:28, 1 February 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

    Hey, I think it'd be fair to ask a couple questions about this, especially considering the shesaid campaign. Could you list some of the Puerto Rican women from that generation that you consider notable? And some of the books which center on Puerto Rican women that you've read? I think that would be helpful information in a vote with so few people deciding whether a progressive Puerto Rican women should be considered notable or not on this website ~ A23423413 (talk) 19:06, 24 January 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Anyone wanting to bring that information to the table could request a SparQL query from the experts at https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:Request_a_query. Given the apparent of both men and women and everything in between to achieve the simplest of HEYs or ask Deirge Ó Dhaoinebeaga to checkout some specific citations from Proquest via The Wikipedia Library there's little hope of this being retained in my view. Incidently I've just checked for a VIAF record and I can't find one. Does this help help? -- User:Djm-leighpark(a)talk 19:41, 24 January 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
In response to the questions posed above by A23423413, I have no idea about other Puerto Rican women that might be notable, but I would say that it actually does not matter. The question is if this particular person is notable - meaning is this person well-known or is something they said or wrote well-known? To me, I do not see such a quality being demonstrated here. It's as simple as that - see WQ:Notability for further information. ~ UDScott (talk) 20:41, 1 February 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
It feels weird to me to use the word simple to describe this, especially considering the shesaid campaign. Shouldn't the people involved in the decision have some amount of knowledge relevant to the page, in this case the Puerto Rican Movement, the Young Lords, feminism? Otherwise there will continue to be a strong bias towards the ideology of a very small group (with right wing white american males likely way over-represented as they are on wikipedia) ~ A23423413 (talk) 15:40, 3 February 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
A quote from Elizabeth Martinez about mexican american women that might help explain where I'm coming from better than I can in my own words, because it's true about Puerto Rican women too. "Ask almost anyone outside of academia to name famous US women of Mexican origin and you will probably hear ‘Dolores Huerta.’ If the person knows our contemporary writers, maybe ‘Sandra Cisneros’ and ‘Ana Castillo.’ If you ask for a name from earlier times, you might get ‘Sor Juana’-the rebel nun of the 1600’s. When you try to dig deeper, your companion may whimper, ‘I give up! Well…there’s the Virgin of Guadalupe, she’s on a lot of T-shirts. It was inevitable, then, that the need for a book like this would be recognized...The problem of locating photos often confirms the indifference to women’s presence in history, as reflected in the media, books, historical records, museums, university libraries." ~ A23423413 (talk) 17:28, 3 February 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
  • Keep: I think it would be good to make sure some of the people voting about whether a leading woman from the Puerto Rican movement is notable or not are Puerto Rican women. I think both Wikipedia and Wikiquote will be better when white males aren't as over-represented as they are now, both in pages created and among the people deciding who is notable or not ~User:A23423413
That's a rubbish argueentargument, and possible personal attack on the voters here. Basically on a bio article with no associated English Wikipedia article I'm looking for sourced presentation of notability in the lead section. I'd somewhat recommend you compare with Wikiquote:Votes for deletion/P. M. Currie. And actually when I did you you might have an argument that whereas for that argument in that nomination I made the comment The book might be notable but that is a different matter whereas I didn't make that comment here. So my personal view you have got at least four of saving this per w:WP:HEY (vote a keep with a chip on the shoulder argument won't help): Get W:WP:THREE references for Minerva Solla, use at least one to source the article lead section and you or I can get a sitelinked Wikidata Item set up via a spreadsheet into Quickstatements of otherwise; move the article to the book title as its probably notable; Use the author as the subject, d:Q99675943 Merge to Iris Morales; or Merge to Young Lords Party. -- User:Djm-leighpark(a)talk 20:30, 21 January 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Elvis Presley quote forks

Perhaps following on from Talk:Elvis Presley#Page getting out of hand this seems a good faith bold undiscussed attempt to split the Elvis Presley (about section) into more manageable sub-portions. Unfortunately rather than the execution of an (undiscussed) clean break split with no duplicate what has happened is forked duplicate sub-articles with divergent updates continuing in parallel. I'm far from certain this particular undiscussed split choice was optimal and VfD is not the place to discuss a split choice, gaining consensus on the Presley talk page is. While there may be suggestions for a merge(s) I suggest that simply compounds the mess and delete is the option. For those that think anything is lost there is opportunity for anyone to check internet archives here and here and perform their own gap analysis and remediation. I note most substantial changes to these forks post split were made by anon IP's with logged in users doing some tidying and maintenance work. -- User:Djm-leighpark(a)talk 07:03, 16 January 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Lack of notability concern and promotional concern. The creator has performed a widespread attempt to get this article to be on wikipedia and has even continued here under Prod which means a contestation will be inevitable so I've moved to a VfD nomination. As far as I am aware the books area self-published. The lady appears to lovely lady and outside of Wikipedia I might recommend her podcasts are played at my local General Hospital pharmacy waiting room, In fact she has several mentions at Google Scholar but I'm unsure if these are predatory journals and this is why in this case an article persisted on the English Wikipedia where there are experienced editors to scrutinised this really ought to be the pre-requisite on the English Wikipedia first to confirm the notability.

Lack of notability. There is no representation of notability and there would be currently be little chance of persisting an article on the English Wikipedia at this time from the available sources given. A Wikiquote article with no equivalent English Wikipedia article is responsible for sourcing its own summary paragraph at the start of the page for verification; and that has not done in this case at the time of nomination. External links of bare URL link are of little help in this matter, and in this case I'm reasonably certain not all the claims in the lead summary paragraphs have been covered here. I've sitelinked an existing wikidata item, d:Q113671716, though I believe that fails d:Wikidata:Notability and I believe that the creator there been told about this type of issue already.

  • Keep or move to book article, or merge and redirect (per others in the discussion). The deletion seems based on the fact that the subject has no article in the encyclopedia wikipedia, but it is not wikiquote policy that such an article must exist. A compendium of quotes can have notability criteria that are different from an encyclopedia , see Category:Articles with no corresponding English Wikipedia article. I don't mind if the article is moved to a book article about the book. The book is probably the most important academic study on the subject matter of this book. The book is notable and has been quoted numerous times by multiple other authors. --ᘙ (talk) 23:56, 19 January 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Nope. The article, and pretty much in the lead section, has to represent the notability of the subject with verifiable sourced information. For a bio, which this is in its current form, that means linking to an article in the English Wikipedia in which case it seems fairly acceptable as no need to cite the lead section, or not linking to an English Wikipedia in which cause the lead section should be cited for verification or else its useless for towards any notability claim made in that section. There a possible concession if the associated wikidata item can be used to validate it, but P. M. Currie does not have one. What is a problem that I have just come across is that the lead section can be sourced from [3] or [4] and what we have here seems to be a direct one-for-one match with senteneces from those places which then raises the issue of possible copyright violation. -- User:Djm-leighpark(a)talk 08:52, 21 January 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
nope? then where in the Wikiquote:Deletion policy do you see your interpretations of the notability requirements? It is not in any official wikiquote policy and looking at Category:Articles with no corresponding English Wikipedia article it has not been recorded consensus at wikiquote either. of course, I understand your concern that many wikiquote articles have questionable notability, but IMHO it would be better to define some notability rules in the Wikiquote:Deletion policy, get consensus for the rules, and then apply them equally to all articles. Re the blurb it is found on Google Books and many more different websites, I'm not sure if it is fair use so I have rewritten it. P.M. Currie might well be notable under wikipedias' rules himself, the book can be said to have made a significant impact in the study of this Sufi, but at least the book quoted should definitely be, see this link [5] which lists four different reviews.

Becky Eneche

The key issue is lack of notabilitity of the subject with that fact somewhat hidden by use of the {{Wikipedia}} which claims such an article existed. Its possibly unclear to me why the creator removed their own citations replacing all the remaining claimed quotes with a {{Citation needed}} but it does indicate a further problem. Additionally I have found the following Witidata Items/Wikipedia pages that are linkable to the subject:

  • d:Q11266795 Wikidata items for Becky Eneche. Claims of reference imported from the English wikipedia with no associated URL are a problem here. I'm unclear if the other reference from www.thenewman.org.ng but I suspect ultimately some might find it SPS.
  • d:Q114213686 Husband Pastor Paul Enenche. Notable for use of a Nigerian Car Mart blog as a reference to support the Wikidata item.
  • w:Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Dunamis International Gospel Center "Draftify to allow for continued improvement". @Star Mississippi in your role as Afd closer on the sister project, I know you don't like me contacting you but can you review if you feel the concerns addressed at the AfD were met? These affect one of the options below.
  • w:Dunamis International Gospel Centre a rename of the article incubated with possible reference citebomb from the results of a (possible) press release which was accepted by AfC, presumably as this was judged an acceptable "improvement" expected by the closer. (at least the article was not copy/pasted reincarnation into a new name variant which is the common practice to remove the "stain" of a previous AfD with a non-positive outcome for the article).

I am left overall wondering if this Christian demonination is or is not sufficiently notable, and how much of this set up is promotionalism and if there are any independent references? There is a possibility of moving this quote to Dunamis International Gospel Centre on the basis the AFC reviewer of the associated enWP article is experienced and in good standing, Closer Star Mississippi did not imply a notability problem by accepting the suggestion to Draftify from the AfD so that may be a viable option. — User:Djm-leighpark(a)talk 08:23, 20 January 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

The central root article here points to W:Diary of a Wimpy Kid (film series) where one might expect to find verification of that structure but it simply isn't there. The film from the TV series, Diary of a Wimpy Kid: The Movie! has an article and appears independent notably while and other films not seemly linked to this TV series: Diary of a Wimpy Kid, Diary of a Wimpy Kid (2010 film), Diary of a Wimpy Kid: Rodrick Rules (2011 film), Diary of a Wimpy Kid: The Long Haul (film), and Diary of a Wimpy Kid: Dog Days (film). Two articles, Diary of a Wimpy Kid: Rodrick Rules (2022 film) and Diary of a Wimpy Kid (2021 film) where recently speedily deleted for no quotes. Structurally this is a mess and it is disruptive of those creating the articles to Ensure what is here is fully supported on the English Wikipedia. There are also indicators due care for Wikiquote:Quotability has not been observed. -- User:Djm-leighpark(a)talk 00:56, 21 January 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

  • Delete In my view this is a disambig (DAB) page which needs no quotes. However a DAB page for two series of the w:Dragon Ball universe? I think not. In my view I've just improved the navigation between the two child pages and this dab page is unnecessary. Regarding the WQ:Quatabilty of the representation of the Dragon Ball universe that is outside the scope of this VFD. There is certainly a need for a visitor from outside the Dragon Ball universe to be able to navigate the pages on Wikiquote and the structure of these pages need to reflect the description on the English Wikipedia. I also do not see removal of this article negatively impacting the tree/mesh of Wikidata itemss in the Dragon Ball universe on Wikidata or the (in)ability to run simple SparQL queries in that place. Simple answer: this page is not necessary, delete. -- —This unsigned comment is by Djm-leighpark (talk • contribs) . 06:16, 21 January 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Blue's Clues articles

Poorly presented set of articles on w:Blue's Clues which is notable. The outlying season articles are of the poorest quality. I have considered a discussed merge and a bold merge but the quality/verificability/style of the season satellites makes me reluctant to perform this. The fact seasons 1 and 5 are duplicated in both the main article and outlying articles shows general negligence and lack of diligence by anon IP creators leaving disuption for others to tidy up and avoiding all consequence of that disruption. I have some concerns about the central article with references and verificability but am minded the presentation and standard is similar to many other articles here. — User:Djm-leighpark(a)talk 23:19, 22 January 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

As such this is a precedent VFD for potentially several other follow-on VfD's and might be better pre-discussed an the Village pump first. The creator of this article has been informed and seems no longer active. However per perhaps a somewhat similar move proposal that I withdrew following discussion with Aliter who is more active in this area of quotations/proverbs related to dialects. There is also Talk:French proverbs#Merge proposal of Béarnese proverbs to here which was initiated after this discussion. Overall I am inclined to keep a VFD such as this and perhaps not even proposing scattergun merges until a discussion has been held agreeing the best way of handling these proverbs dialect pages ... which may be there own section on a main language page or if/when that becomes to unwieldy a dialect subpage of a main lanuguage/dialect. But its better to hold off VFD's and even moves until a best practice is suggested first for this class of artices, and VFD isn't the greatest of places to discuss good merges. -- Djm-leighpark(a)talk 08:27, 4 February 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Lack of notability concern. When there is no corresponding article on the English Wikipedia to easily support notability I am opined the onus falls on the article, particularly the lead section, to represent that notability, to a degree specially if there is no associated Wikidata item. The lead section needs to make a scrutiniser aware of the key notability points without cluttering up with distractions of {{dead-link}}s and attending courses in other lands. Being secretary general of the IWG[6] (hasn't been notable enough to get its own English Wikipedia article) might be just enough but I think thats a decision for the community here. — User:Djm-leighpark(a)talk 06:43, 24 January 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

  • Keep — this person had been accepted as sufficiently notable as both a software developer and social activist to have had articles both here and at Wikipedia since 2014. The above comments specify an article in a major newspaper dealing with some statements such as were quoted on her page, and she seems to have indeed been prominent as an activist and a software engineer. Though I doubt much growth or wide interest in the page, I certainly perceive no evidence that she is actually Greenrd (talk · contributions), the creator of the article, who has been an active Wikipedia contributor since 2003, so labeling it merely "self promotion” or a "vanity page” seems a rather ludicrous and entirely unwarranted assumption. ♞☤☮♌︎Kalki ⚚⚓︎⊙☳☶⚡ 13:07, 25 January 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

  • Comment I still think that the page should be deleted. Let's base the argument on our guidelines here, WQ:Q. The 6th factor is "Is the quote independently well known? Has it withstood, or is it likely to withstand, the test of time?". That is surely not the case with any quotes on the acutal page and not with either quotes in news articles authored by her. She was quoted in a handful of newspapers but those quotes were never repeated by 3rd parties again in a context where she wasn't the one who directly spoke them.

Notabilty concerns. This is a sort of a w:WP:BLP1E and I've a reasonable guess an article on the English Wikipedia would not sustain. The Tik tok followers metric may be accurate, or it may be a poor reference, or it may be subject to SEO interference.

This article has had a messy history with speedy deletions, recreation and contestation. in particular I may have re-imposed a {{db}} when should have raised a VFD. With an existing article in the English Wikipedia it would seem notability was established by that place and by implication here and all that was required to present some quotable quotes in a broad resemblance to an acceptable manner. I have difficulty choosing if the creator is genuinely struggling to cope here after a bad start or faking that for some reasons to be disruptive or trying to hope a different editor will take over and complete the task to w:WP:HEY save the article. So that may or may not be an indicator of promotionalism or a COI.

This is being raised to get a positive community consensus that this article should be retained or deleted, and community consensus as to if a {{NPOV}} tag needs to be applied. I began to scrutinise this article when it did not have an associated English Wikipedia article, and was somewhat interested in the impact a BOT trial may have had in that process and in analysis of the W:WP:AFC decline. Having located d:Q2180030 I made the sitelink. I note the grandfather article to this may be from the on the Dutch Wikipedia from 2006. There is a thread here where I have made some analysis and which unsuccessfully tries to reach out to the bot trial and AFC decliner (AGF they may not have picked this up) and where the article creator has made a statement.

  • Comment: :Piet Emmer is the leading expert on Dutch colonial history, in the Netherlands and Suriname since the 1980s, he obtained his PhD with his Dissertation on the Dutch slave trade in 1974, he was professor of colonial history at Leiden University for 18 years, he has written several bestselling books in several languages including Dutch, English and German, he has been a well-known face around this subject in the Dutch, Surinamese and Antillean media since the 1980s, he has appeared in several documentaries on the topic of Surinam and Durch Colonial history and slavery, he writes columns on the subject, and is to this day actively involved in the debate around decolonization and the Dutch slavery past on a national level. If he does not qualify for a wikipedia page, well then who does? There is clearly a political activist agenda, of censoring and canceling anything that doesn't fit the current narrative. The sources of the English Wikipedia article are fine, the same sources are accepted on the French, German, Arabic, Papiamento and Portuguese wikipedia's, and on the Dutch Wikipedia where has a page since 2006. Pete Emmer is not an activist, or a social warrior, or a racist, or white supremacist, or an obscure alt-right personality living on the fringes of society, far from it, he is a scientist, a respected scientist in several countries, he presents the facts as they are, in understandable language and in a respectful manner. And that some people are too vulnerable to hear the facts, and that they feel they should erase the facts, and replace them with things that are not facts, but sound good and confirm the current narrative, says more about them, than about the honorary Professor Emmer i think.

Lack of notability. Having searched Wikidata and the English and German Wikis I find no other reference to the subject. But I would expect to find a little more somewhere. There are a couple of books, some of which are compilations. The sources used for the very long quotes appear to be non-mainstream specific sites. I was left feeling this article could be promotionalist. The creator seems to have been block as in not good standing. I am, somewhat unexpectedly in this case, being left that pending some independent reliable sources this article should be removed from the English Wikiquote.

Concerns of Lack of notability; also possible promotionalism, and possible NPOV. That the subject has written the book is not disputed; but this book present a seemingly plausible but complex non-mainstream analysis of the Hebrew Bible. It is in the subject's best interests that this view is promoted. Wikiquote should not be used for such promotion unless their are good independent sources for such a book. The obvious thing would be to persist an article on the English Wikipedia but that does not seemed to have been achieved even if it was attempted. The onus then falls on the article here to present a reliable independent claims of notability and that has not be to have been achieved. The nearest thing matching the name "Don Juravin" as an independently reliable reliable source I've found seems to relate to some litigations but to be very clear these may relate to a different person thatthan the subject.

    The WikiQuote page of Don Juravin, has been updated as it is requested (with secondary independent sources). There are thousands of WikiQuote pages of people with sources from news sites or any other website(independent or not) and they are not being accused or judged of "desperately trying to retain an article to show up on Google". If that was the case, why the subject of this page didn't have a WikiQuote page 4-5 years ago? Google shows that his researches (Societal, Economic or Biblical) and quotes are published on news sites 4-5 years ago, and it is Google's job to index a page according to different factors and shouldn't be a comment here, as there are thousands of subjects on WikiQuote, of which, if you search on Google, will see that WikiQuote retains a high place on Google.
    Coming from the fact that WikiQuote has to be from a neutral point of view, comments about possibilities shouldn't be a comment here, and if the subject has shared quotes, researches and thoughts about those researches, like every subject on WikiQuote, he should have a page. I also see that there are contributors who observe the page as corrected according to the request from the nominator. Mr.Durnbey (talk) 08:29, 9 February 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Lack of notability concern. As the sources we have only identify the subject as "M. A.

I have explored the possibility our subject here is Masood Ali Khan / d:Q6783825 but I am minded on the balance of probability they are likely not the same (There is a poor quality contribution on the enWP article that I have ignored. I have done some explores on VIAF, OCLC, the internet archive library and the Islam-watch website and have not found anything to make that linkage.

  • @UDScott: By saying "Using the deletion process as retribution for bad behavior to remove legitimate pages" you seem to be accusing me of retribution rather than a good faith action in which case blocking me would be in order, there is a custom of reverting block evading edits. However there is an issue that by leaving the page in place block evasion is condoned and supported and seen to be a winning strategy.

The action to delete an otherwise valid page for the sole reason that someone who acted poorly in other situations created it is what appears to have the feel of retribution. My apologies if I sounded accusatory - that was not my intent - rather I was warning against taking such action as it has that appearance. My feeling is that this specific page has nothing really wrong with it and if someone else had created it, there wouldn't even be a discussion. I can see taking other more direct action against someone who evades blocks, but why remove a valid page from the site? ~ UDScott (talk) 18:03, 6 March 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
You are perhaps going towards possible course of action, which is that the community positively vetting for suitability and neutrality pages created on circumvention of a block. Which is what may happen here may be achieved by this VfD. This is one of a spread of articles created by the sock a proportion of which are legitimate and a proportion of which are POV pushing. But please excuse me for feeling administrators feel are assisting a smelly sock being pushed down my throat, albeit I AGF that is far from their intent and I am merely expressing my feelings. -- DeirgeDel tac 18:29, 6 March 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Sorry, I'm not quite understanding what you are saying in this last post. I am trying to comprehend your views - and believe me, I am not trying to be combative in any way. Are you still pushing for deletion of this page? Or something else? If the former, I would imagine that the page would be immediately recreated (by someone who is not a sock) since the page's subject certainly appears to be notable. If this is the case, then I don't understand the notion of deleting it in the first place (hence my Keep vote above). I'm just not sure the way we should treat contributions by problem users should be treated with a blanket approach (such as removal of all contributions by them, regardless of the value of the pages in question).

  • Delete. I did not read all of the back-and-forth above. My concern is with quotability. These are just (in my opinion) rather banal lyrics; nothing particularly quotable. Of course, in complete candor, I have that same problem with many pages, especially films (where much of what is supplied is not really quotable quotes, but just random snippets of dialogue), but also very minor musical groups.

It also indicates likelihood even if blocked the IP would return under a different IP and disrespect the VfD process and recreate the article without going through the DRV process after a deletion discussion.

The Wiggles TV Series

Nonsense. Poor and ambiguous page subject with no references and links. It is important to precisely specify whether the intention is to provide quotes for a single series or all series. There is an ambiguity of the page name "The Wiggles TV Series" and the title "The Wiggles: TV Series 2". This is a problem as there is no definition of where this is going. From a notability viewpoint there is few issues as The Wiggles and List of The Wiggles episodes. However there are real problems and effort required manage the a possible sprawl especially on Wikidata. While it is possible to work with a user with a consistent account on these matters a (probable dynamic IP user) is near impossible to work with and has no consequence of repeat poor performance and soaks up a lot of volunteer resource cleaning up the mess. — DeirgeDel tac 09:44, 16 March 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

  • Comment: I'm putting this out for the consideration of the community, and will go along with the consensus. I've run across a small number of these pages, which have only one quote, and seem very unlikely to ever have any others, as the subject is obscure, and the page hasn't had any activity in quite some time (this particular page, close to two years). The quote is good, so I've taken the trouble to transfer it to the appropriate subject page (in this case, English People), and am suggesting that the person's Wikiquote page be deleted. It seems to me that this type of single-quote page is "clutter," and that the quote is much more likely to be found on the subject page than on that of such an obscure personage. What thinks "the wisdom of crowds"? Markjoseph125 (talk) 15:11, 19 March 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
  • Keep: I see multiple problems with what has happened here. Wikipedia (& Wikiquote) is a work in progress. Reading Phelps certainly yield some excellent fodder, such as: "When we remember that English is not a perfect language, for as a means of expression it is inferior to both Russian and Polish, it is marvellous to consider what that group of Elizabethan scholars did With it." Before I was blocked on the English Wikipedia I used to take some pleasure in often demolishing claims "I searched and couldn't find anything"; often because people did n't check out books or don't really know how to used predicates and alternate searches for really effective googling. In this case checking William Lyon Phelps reveals there is a quotes section there with two quotes, albeit one has a dead-link and even if I was not indef blocked there the source URL seems not to have been archived. I am also disturbed about the unattributed copy of the quote. Technically I am unsure if it represents a copyvio but it this VfD and associated actions if ending in delete would erase the article Wikiquote attribute contributions on this subject with attribution transferring towards the nominator of this VfD. The suggested target article would unlikely be able to hold all the quotes that are candidates for being placed there. -- DeirgeDel tac 21:56, 19 March 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Last words in Soul Eater

To a degree this is a test case for a number of "Last words in ..." pages. It is a subpage of a notable subject but I have severe concerns over whether it is necessary or even harmful. Especially as it is not precisely referenced and gives editors to embellish there own description of gory deaths. My reading of the intent of policies and guidelines is content is not censored care needs to be taken to avoid harm and going into that which would generally be regarded as unacceptable. I suggest articles such as these, which are concentrated on descriptions of violent killings, may be potentially harmful. — DeirgeDel tac 07:48, 20 March 2023 (UTC)
