Votes for deletion is the process whereby 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:
- 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.
- 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.
- {{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 Template:Vfd top ("vote closed" header with the result of the vote) to the top of the article's VfD discussion page, as well as a Template:Vfd bottom at the end of the page.
- 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
Appears to just be some dude who got a paper published in a fee based open access journal. He's also an aspiring musician, but doesn't seem to have hit the big time yet. Article was deleted last week on the English Wikipedia for lack of notability. GMGtalk 14:49, 25 June 2025 (UTC)

In a report I published on enwiki, I detailed how a network of accounts and IP proxies had been used to promote American musician David Woodard as far and wide across wikis as possible. This article was originally created by Judgtastic (talk · contributions), one of the accounts in the network, and then expanded by IP proxies in Seoul, Perth and London. I believe that this constitutes a vanity page, serving to boost the obscure and often nonsensical thoughts of an obscure author (including from an unpublished manuscript of his), and that it therefore qualifies for deletion under Wikiquote's deletion policy. — Grnrchst (talk) 20:20, 30 June 2025 (UTC)
- Delete, this is plain vanity and spamming. Bw Orland (talk) 20:35, 6 July 2025 (UTC)
- Delete, I share the view of Orland, this looks like self-promotion. Thanks to user Grnrchst for the effort in reporting this. --1904.CC (talk) 20:57, 16 July 2025 (UTC)
- Delete per nom; self-promotion. Markjoseph125 (talk) 16:08, 20 July 2025 (UTC)
- See also. Woodard (or his "agent") have also spread his wisdom to a number of themes. This should be deleted as a part of the cleanup. Bw Orland (talk) 22:21, 27 July 2025 (UTC)
- I did the cleanup, and removed the nonsensical quotations from Metamorphosis, Friedrich Nietzsche, Love, Gentlemen, Secrecy, Marriage, Drugs, Timothy McVeigh, Communication, Nerd, Fire, Morality and Coffee. However, I would keep his quote on the Dreamachine, which seems to have some merit. 1904.CC (talk) 09:24, 4 August 2025 (UTC)

Not that the subject of this page is not notable, nor deserving of a page, but because in its current state, it has become so bloated with entirely too many quotes. Surely it represents a copyright violation or is close to it. Every day, more quotes are added and it's become out of hand - and nearly impossible to decide what should stay and what should go. I recommend deleting it and starting over, with a much smaller set of quotes. — UDScott (talk) 18:01, 30 June 2025 (UTC)
Vote closes: 19:00, 7 July 2025 (UTC)
- Delete and start over. ~ UDScott (talk) 18:01, 30 June 2025 (UTC)
- Speedy delete This is an obvious copyright violation and also just not quotable. I don't know that anything in this video game is memorable for quotations (I have played it, but not finished it), but even if there is something, it's definitely not literally all dialogue and text in the game. I feel bad sometimes for users who post these labor-intensive and completely off-track entries, but this is probably just copying and pasting from another source like GameFAQs and really, it should never have gotten this far. If this is kept, then at the very least, revert back to a reasonable point in the history and revdel all the obvious copyright violation bits.—Justin (koavf)?T?C?M? 18:09, 30 June 2025 (UTC)
- Delete per nom; quotability; copyright violoation. Do we really want this to be the longest page on Wikiquote? Markjoseph125 (talk) 16:10, 20 July 2025 (UTC)
Kill la Kill pages
Lack of quotability on both pages-- the second page only has about two character-specific quotes. The first of these two pages was nominated for deletion previously and had been deleted before, while the second page hasn't been updated in a year. Judging from the edit history of the former, these pages were created by the notorious SoulEaterFan, a user who has a history of vandalizing various TV show pages and incorporating characters from various anime, Kill la Kill included. 03isrflo62410 (talk) 21:54, 30 June 2025 (UTC)

Delete on grounds of quotability. These do not meet the Wikiquote criterion: "Is the quote particularly witty, pithy, wise, eloquent, or poignant?" Nothing wrong with the two facts presented; however, they should be placed into the Wikipedia page. — Markjoseph125 (talk) 01:10, 26 July 2025 (UTC)

- As mentioned, the facts could (and in my humble opinion should) be placed into the Wikipedia article; then this page could be deleted. Markjoseph125 (talk) 19:03, 4 August 2025 (UTC)

- And it is made to put in quotes from realistic people, books, films, proverbs, and so on. Plus movies (theatrical, direct-to-video and streaming) and TV shows (cable, network and streaming (such as Monarch: Legacy of Monsters for Apple TV+)) should be treated as equals in terms of the genres of the entertainment industry, and everyone can add as many quotes in any media as they want. Bszabo15 (talk) 23:21, 27 July 2025 (UTC)
- However, there is the criterion of quotability. From the page Wikiquote:Quotability: "Is the quote particularly witty, pithy, wise, eloquent, or poignant?" Much (I would say "most") of what appears on pages for TV shows and (especially) video games fails this criterion. The entire page Wikiquote:Quotability makes for good reading; adhering to it would greatly improve the quality of Wikiquote. Markjoseph125 (talk) 02:09, 28 July 2025 (UTC)
