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 (though if you find that daunting, EVula is more than happy to do so).

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.

Comment – Quotability is weak, but perhaps not unusually so for a children's comic. Notability is very weak (the only source at Wikipedia is imdb), as is common for direct-to-video productions. ~ Ningauble (talk) 20:41, 3 October 2021 (UTC)

Question: There are 3 (I think?) pages named The Northside Show (season x), where x=9,10,11. Why is 11 not nominated for deletion? Just curious to find out more about this area of WQ. Thanks in advance, Ottawahitech (talk) 14:47, 6 May 2022 (UTC)

You are correct in that, should this page be deemed worthy of deletion, the other pages should also be deleted. At the time of nomination, this one had been given a PROD tag, which was removed, bringing it here. It was an oversight that the other pages were not also nominated at that time. ~ UDScott (talk) 14:51, 6 May 2022 (UTC)

Hunter Biden

These are not "notable quotes". These are text messages from Hunter Biden acquired who knows how and disseminated through right-wing media in an attempt to re-elect Donald Trump. The story about the election smear campaign is notable, but the texts themselves are not. I notice that Hillary Clinton's emails are not on her page. The sources in this article are problematic.

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)

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:

~~United States embargo against Cuba created by GaneshaSis~~
United States sanctions created by GaneshaSis
Information Warfare Community created by Alphabravo2022
USS Liberty incident created by Will-SeymoreIII

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.

~~H.R. 40 - Commission to Study and Develop Reparation Proposals for African-Americans Act created by Om777om~~
Anti-Russian sentiment created by Om777om
Crimes Against Humanity Initiative created by Om777om

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

@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)

Keep them all! Those are exellent pages that all who inquire should know about. Why hide or cover-up the truth? Do you calling for deletion wish to help tyrants and harm the people? It is sad that so many are so very afraid of the truth and want to hide it. They should be sent to the doctor's office. They should be advised that truth is the people's best friend and the worst enemy of tyrants. Real winners never lie and liars never win. Bless their hearts, eventually they'll know what i mean and see that hiding the truth is very wrong and that it will eventually set us all free! 66.190.126.146 17:19, 25 April 2022 (UTC)

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)
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)

Comment, I removed from this list one long article that I believe contains useful and good material we should retain: H.R. 40 - Commission to Study and Develop Reparation Proposals for African-Americans Act. I nominated it because I thought that our article on the more general topic Reparations could be used to save any useful contents there. But in retrospect, that specific collection would be a useful resource and should be kept. My apologies for being too hasty. I am also removing the US embargo article in deference to the suggestion of BD2412 (talk · contributions). HouseOfChange (talk) 18:00, 28 April 2022 (UTC)

This deletion attempt is a scam

Please Keep All these articles for the benefit of the present and future generations. The pages fit into the broadminded, anti-jerk wikipedia vision that promoted by Jimbo Wales, and should not be censored. HOC's heavy handed attempts to dominate information here calling for deletion of these articles, and his deceptive use of words is clearly a sham & should be so recognized. These articles were all approved, years ago in some cases, and months ago in others by regular admins and bureaucrats here. The articles have valid quotes, have father WP pages, and include multiple, some would say very informative/telling views and opinions, from multiple, educated, notable, thoughtful people, and are presented as QUOTATIONS, not facts. HOC's absurd claim that "one-sided opinions are presented as facts is ridiculous, and is NOT supported by the facts at hand. It should also be noted that HOC's constant derogatory references to other volunteer editors speak more about him than those whom he targets. Strong leadership, would warn him against breaking the rules here, and give him a significant pause to reflect. Apparently He is the biggest disruption here ever. Be careful not to fall under his spell. Thinkers should remember that there are many professors and students of the "Art of Deception" in our government. Although they may have good intentions, they should be recognized whenever possible for what they are, so you can consciously avoid falling into their traps like the unquestioning/gullible masses.

Everyone here should know that lying, manipulating, and cheating for any reason is wrong. Those who don't know, do not deserve to have any power over others. Responsible adults who see this should take stand for what you think is right. Stand for the growth, development, & the integrity of wikiquotes. If you want to run around mindlessly, barking like a rat terrier hell bent on barking up a storm, that's your right too. Thank you47.48.129.234 17:14, 28 April 2022 (UTC)
