Health, Hospital, Patient
These articles were all created by 212.254.97.144, the person who added 20+ Gerhard Kocher quotes (see VFDA entry) to Favorites long ago and then farmed them out to other articles based on the topics assigned to them in Favorites. (81.62.64.163 and 83.76.75.245 [quite possibly the same person] claim, with some circumstantial evidence, that 212 is Kocher himself.) The sole contents of all three articles are Kocher quotes, so by voting to remove Kocher, we effectively decided to make all three empty articles. (I've left their contents intact for now for review.) "Health" and "Patient" had been tagged for merger with Medicine, but this should now be irrelevant. ~ Jeff Q (talk) 12:41, 28 August 2005 (UTC)
 * VOTE CLOSED: Result: delete (3 delete, no dissent) ~ MosheZadka (Talk) 11:17, 13 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete. ~ Jeff Q (talk) 12:41, 28 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete and in my opinion, such articles should be speedy deleted if we follow the letter of policy (remove all quotes by GK, then no quotes -> speedy delete candidate). ~ MosheZadka (Talk) 12:56, 28 August 2005 (UTC)
 * As for Hospital, speedy delete following Moshe's method. --Aphaia 07:07, 29 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete for Health because of its history. --Aphaia 07:09, 29 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Note: The history of "Health", after ignoring structure edits and two irrelevant links that were subsequently deleted, is just like "Hospital" and "Patient" — nothing but Gerhard Kocher quotes added or tweaked by 212.254.*. ~ Jeff Q (talk) 12:53, 29 August 2005 (UTC)

 * The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review).  No further edits should be made to this page.

The result was: 1 delete, 1 redirect. — Aphaia 16:37, 19 July 2005 (UTC)

His Holiness the Dalai Lama
Originally His Holiness the Dalai Lama Dalai Lama''

Now both are (double) redirects to Tenzin Gyatso to Tenzin Gyatso, 14th Dalai Lama (and that is why I found them). --Aphaia 4 July 2005 09:15 (UTC)

Vote closed. Results:
 * His Holiness the Dalai Lama - deleted. (3 deletes, no disssent).
 * Dalai Lama - turn to redirect to Tenzin Gyatso, 14th Dalai Lama. (2 redirects, 1 delete, no vote to keep). Aphaia 16:37, 19 July 2005 (UTC)

 * Delete or Turn to disambiguation(s) because there were apparently his precedences ... I don't think it is a good idea we have such redirect with title, like "Pope", "British Queen" and so on.--Aphaia 4 July 2005 09:15 (UTC)
 * Delete ~ MosheZadka (Talk) 5 July 2005 06:49 (UTC)
 * Two different fates for two different redirects:
 * Delete "His Holiness the Dalai Lama". It does not following English Wikipedia title practices, as is currently demonstrated by its absence there. — Jeff Q (talk) 22:37, 9 July 2005 (UTC)
 * Redirect "Dalai Lama" to current Tenzin Gyatso article, whichever that is. (I don't agree with the current suffix, as it seems to violate the WP MoS principle of avoiding honorifics and positions in article titles unless needed for disambiguation, but WP is currently ignoring it for Tenzin Gyatso, so I won't raise a fuss right now.) Unless and until we have quotes from another incarnation of the Dalai Lama, we don't really need "Dalai Lama" to be a disambiguation article. — Jeff Q (talk) 22:37, 9 July 2005 (UTC)
 * As for Dalai Lama, concur Jeff. Keep it as redirect to Tenzin Gyatso.--Aphaia 19:55, 13 July 2005 (UTC)

Jacinto Caetano
Another article with 1 quote, no intro, and no apparent Google presence. This one was created by ILVI, who also created Ségur, as well as deleted vanity articles "Jacinto Javier Bowks de la Rosa" and "James Norman Bowks Sr." (for himself and an apparent relative). This one looks to be a police officer of ILVI's acquaintance. However, ILVI is a long-time Wikiquotian; although he's an infrequent contributor, he has started many solid Wikiquote articles and contributed to others. I think he's just not clear on the notability requirement, so, as presumptuous as it feels for a "younger" Wikiquotian to advise an "older" one, I've left him a note. ~ Jeff Q (talk) 10:51, 13 August 2005 (UTC)

Jacinto Javier Bowks de la Rosa

 * Was voted on in conjunction with James Norman Bowks Sr. (second entry).

Both created by User:ILVI, the first page is himself, the second presumably a relative. Neither has any notability outside of Wikiquotes and its mirrors. Rmhermen 00:09, 16 Mar 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete: The first is the editor himself according to his userpage on Wiktionary, so it should be on his own page (not on normal namespace), the latter can't be found elsewhere than this page, and almost meaningless, so should be deleted. --Aphaia 17:20, 22 Mar 2005 (UTC)

James beaumont
There is an actor at IMDb named James Beaumont, but I have not found any mention of any noted scientist or philosopher by such a name, and these quotations have the appearance of being merely personal anecdotes that might belong on someone's User page, not in a Wikiquote article. Perhaps if noteworthy quotations of the actor can be found it can be revised, but otherwise, I think it should simply be deleted. ~ Achilles 19:38, 13 Aug 2004 (UTC)

 * Delete. The only place this shows up in Google (besides on a website with a copy of our page, including the VfD notice) is on the web board cited in the Wikiquote entry. The ability to post something witty on a web board does not make one notable. — Jeff Q (talk) 11:04, 13 Apr 2005 (UTC)

If you delete him, what's to say I won't contemplate it again? Or at least consider doing it over a Macintosh App-- aha, see!

According to his user profile, he has 2,700+ posts to the referenced forum, with the majority in the Banter & Brawl section.

Lifespan
One quote, which is not particularly pithy nor accurate (some calculations I made show neither estimate to be particularly accurate, assuming one millilitre as a drop and a 1x10x10 meter size "child's pool"), made by someone without a wikipedia article and a few scattered blogger-like google profile (some blog copies and some references). The theme is not a particularly important theme either, most quotes would belong in Life, I'd assume. ~ MosheZadka (Talk) 29 June 2005 06:16 (UTC)

 * Vote closed: Result: deleted (two deletes, no dissent). ~ MosheZadka 12:11, 13 July 2005 (UTC) (added fm history by User:Jeffq)
 * Delete ~ MosheZadka (Talk) 29 June 2005 06:16 (UTC)
 * Delete. Quotee is likely LiveJournal user, a university mathematics student in Vilnius, Lithuania, and is almost certainly not unnotable, making the single quote in the article a vanity quote. Without it, this article isn't even a stub. Irrelevant aside: the quote is accurate, in that the ratio of universe age to human lifespan is far closer to a drop in a child's swimming pool than to one in the ocean. Using a Fermi estimate of 10 (not 1) for drops in a milliliter (cubic centimeter), and a 3-meter round, 30cm-deep child's swimming pool (~2 million cc) vs. the world's oceans (~109 km³ = 1018 m³ = 1024 cc) and a Fermi-estimate universe age of 10 billion years compared to human lifespan of 100 years, we get:
 * Ageuniverse/Lifespanhuman = 1010/100 = 108 = 100 million
 * Drops in swimming pool = 10 x Volpool(cc) = 10 x 2,000,000 = 2 x 107 = 20 million
 * Drops in ocean = 10 x Volocean(cc) = 10 x 1024 = 1025
 * Therefore, the swimming pool ratio is within an order of magnitude, whereas the ocean ratio is 17 orders of magnitude greater, making the former a far, far closer comparison. BUT it still doesn't make the quotee notable. (Please pardon the digression into my old hobby of Fermi calculations. ☺) Jeff Q (talk) 29 June 2005 10:03 (UTC)

Manuel de Castro
If the author of this page is Manuel de Castro, you are welcome to register and create a user page here and post quotes in it that you believe are worthy of attention. Whether you are Manuel or someone else, more information about the author will be required for this page to remain in the main article space of Wikiquote. Articles in the main article space should be by people who are already significantly noted in some field. I personally feel the quotation you added was a notable statement of beliefs and disbeliefs, but if it is not by someone already famous, the page will probably eventually be deleted. If it is by someone still obscure you are still welcome to post it on any user page that you create. All manner of ideas are welcome for presentation in various places in their appropriate forms. The main space is for quotations of people and works already generally considered notable. I hope you will like it here and remain a contributor. ~ Kalki 19:43, 3 Jun 2004 (UTC)

Mnemonics
Former speedy deletion candidate. Copy and paste from its note:
 * As user 1-is-blue points out, This page should be removed as it merely duplicates the dynamically generated category list for mnemonics.

 * "Mnemonics" is one of the Main page "browse" hyperlinks. It currently links to Category:Mnemonics, not this page. (Eustace Tilley, signature added from history) —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Aphaia (talk • contribs) 09:48, 5 April 2005 (UTC)

 * VOTE CLOSED. Results: Delete (1 Delete, 1 Delete/Rename; no dissent; additional support from 1-is-blue's irregular request for deletion and Eustace Tilley's implied vote by speedy-deletion tagging). I will change its links to Category:Mnemonics. — Jeff Q (talk) 01:02, 20 Apr 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete or rename I think this proposal is worthy to consider. The list on this page contains now only four articles, and some other Wikiquotes seem to go well with categories and no list. If we keep it, I propose to rename it List of mnemonics following our naming conventions. --Aphaia 09:48, 5 Apr 2005 (UTC)
 * Comment: The main page does link to this page in the categories section but not in the browser bar. There are several pages on list of categories that don't follow the "List of" format like last words and Epitaphs. Rmhermen 13:13, 5 Apr 2005 (UTC)

I removed the quote because it appears to be from an unnotable person, but the user who added it is welcome to restore it if they can provide some information on who this "Cole Stewart" is so that we can determine if they are prominent enough for quoting here.

D.M. Turner

D.M. Turner (born Joseph Vivian; 5 October 1962 – 31 December 1996) was an author, psychedelic researcher and psychonaut who wrote two books on psychoactive drugs and entheogens.

Interview with Elizabeth Gips

 * And when you start using a lot of psychedelics, and particularly a lot of the natural psychedelics, my experience has been that I come in contact with some very old entities. And these entities have been around for a while, at least since humans first started experimenting with these plants.

 * And so much of these plant psychedelic entities are at least 4,000 years old. Now, when you experiment - when you work with these plant psychedelics, what I have found is that these entities are actually there. They are aware of you, they are aware that you are a person, and they are able to communicate with you.

 * Well, with all the experiences I have had, I would say the most disappointing ones are the ones when I have not taken enough.

 * I need to take a break from this life as a human for 45 minutes and go experience a little bit of immortality.

 * The only things I had to look forward to in life was a job and a career and a family and just going through the whole cycle. It just seemed like what everybody else was doing. And I looked at people around me. I looked at the people that taught the schools and around the government, and I looked at the type of work that my father did, and none of it really interested me that much. And when I first took psychedelics, I felt like I was admitted into a world of compassion and beauty and creativity. It was like nothing I had experienced in my regular life. And almost instantly that became the goal of where I wanted to be...

Your account will be renamed
Hello,

The developer team at Wikimedia is making some changes to how accounts work, as part of our on-going efforts to provide new and better tools for our users like cross-wiki notifications. These changes will mean you have the same account name everywhere. This will let us give you new features that will help you edit and discuss better, and allow more flexible user permissions for tools. One of the side-effects of this is that user accounts will now have to be unique across all 900 Wikimedia wikis. See the announcement for more information.

Unfortunately, your account clashes with another account also called Khirad. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Khirad~enwikiquote that only you will have. If you like it, you don't have to do anything. If you do not like it, you can pick out a different name.

Your account will still work as before, and you will be credited for all your edits made so far, but you will have to use the new account name when you log in.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Yours, Keegan Peterzell Community Liaison, Wikimedia Foundation 23:26, 17 March 2015 (UTC)

Nat Turner

Nat Turner (2 October 1800 – 11 November 1831) was an enslaved African man who led a 1831 rebellion in Southampton County, Virginia.

The Confessions of Nat Turner (1831)

 * The Confessions of Nat Turner, The Leader of the Late Insurrections in Southampton, Va. As fully and voluntarily made to Thomas R. Gray (1831)

 * And my father and mother strengthened me in this my first impression, saying in my presence, I was intended for some great purpose, which they had always thought from certain marks on my head and breast.

 * My grand mother, who was very religious, and to whom I was much attached — my master, who belonged to the church, and other religious persons who visited the house, and whom I often saw at prayers, noticing the singularity of my manners, I suppose, and my uncommon intelligence for a child, remarked I had too much sense to be raised – and if I was, I would never be of any service to any one – as a slave.

 * The manner in which I learned to read and write, not only had great influence on my own mind, as I acquired it with the most perfect ease, so much so, that I have no recollection whatever of learning the alphabet(ABC)

 * Having soon discovered to be great, I must appear so, and therefore studiously avoided mixing in society, and wrapped myself in mystery, devoting my time to fasting and prayer. Fasting diet

 * I was struck with that particular passage which says: "Seek ye the kingdom of Heaven and all things shall be added unto you."

 * And about this time I had a vision — and I saw white spirits and black spirits engaged in battle, and the sun was darkened – the thunder rolled in the Heavens, and blood flowed in streams – and I heard a voice saying, "Such is your luck, such you are called to see, and let it come rough or smooth, you must surely bear it."

 * For as the blood of Christ had been shed on this earth, and had ascended to heaven for the salvation of sinners, and was now returning to earth again in the form of dew - and as the leaves on the trees bore the impression of the figures I had seen in the heavens, it was plain to me that the Saviour was about to lay down the yoke he had borne for the sins of men, and the great day of judgement was at hand.

Quotes about Turner

 * Several things are interesting about Nat Turner's doomed, gory rebellion. First, Turner was clearly delusional and yet his response to the madness of slavery was, from our vantage point today, the most sane and heroic of all... The fact that Nat Turner may have been schizophrenic or delusional does not disqualify the inherent political nature of his rebellion. Rather, it suggests that sometimes only someone not mentally healthy- not normal- is capable of rising up against objectively awful injustice. A normal, healthy person finds a way to accept his condition, no matter how wretched. The second most significant feature of Turner's rebellion was the white response. As always, the blame was assigned to unspeakable evil, savage Negroes, outside influences- anything but what was considered normal or inevitable at the time, namely, slavery. An account of the insurrection, "The Banditti," published in the Richmond Enquirer on August 30, 1831, reads, "What strikes us as the most remarkable thing in this matter is the horrible ferocity of these monsters. They remind one of a parcel of blood-thirsty wolves rushing down from the Alps... No black man ought to be permitted to turn a preacher in the country. The law must be enforced or the tragedy of Southampton appeals to us in vain." According to the Enquirer, Turner "was artful, impudent and vindictive, without any cause or provocation, that could be assigned."
 * Mark Ames, Going Postal: Rage, Murder and Rebellion: From Reagan's Workplaces to Clinton's Columbine and Beyond (2005), p. 57-58

 * Slave psychology and effective American slave management (which encourages a "cheerful disposition" and "initiative) combined to produce slaves which not only turned on their own liberators to protect their masters, but turned on them in "a fine spirit." Which helps explain why there were so few slave rebellions. Not only were they doomed, and not only were they without context, but so often fellow slaves either refused to participate or worse, exposed plots and defended their masters with arms. These actions further reinforce the notion that a rebellion was not only doomed, but even the idea of rebelling was somehow not normal and perhaps evil. You rally would have to be as crazy and schizophrenic as Nat Turner to not be affected; you'd have to have voices in your head louder than those around you to convince you that a slave rebellion was the right, sane response.
 * Mark Ames, Going Postal: Rage, Murder and Rebellion: From Reagan's Workplaces to Clinton's Columbine and Beyond (2005), p. 59

 * Nat Turner and John Brown were political prisoners in their time. The acts for which they were charged and subsequently hanged, were the practical extensions of their profound commitment to the abolition of slavery.
 * Angela Davis, If They Come in The Morning (1971)

 * Numerous American heroes-such as Harriet Tubman, Nat Turner, and Henry David Thoreau-led rebellious acts to reconcile the government's actions with the country's promise of liberty for all its citizens.
 * Carl Hart Drug Use for Grown-Ups: Chasing Liberty in the Land of Fear (2021)

 * Although they confiscated horses, weapons, and brandy, they took only what was necessary to continue the struggle, and they committed no rapes. They even spared a few homesteads, one because Turner believed the poor white inhabitants "thought no better of themselves than they did of negroes."
 * Stephen B. Oates in "Children of Darkness"

 * What strikes us as the most remarkable thing in this matter is the horrible ferocity of these monsters.
 * The Richmond Enquirer (30 August 1831)
 * A fanatic preacher by the name of Nat Turner (Gen. Nat Turner) who had been taught to read and write, and permitted to go about preaching in the country, was at the bottom of this infernal brigandage. He was artful, impudent and vindicative, after having witnessed the atrocities committed against slaves and himself.
 * The Richmond Enquirer (30 August 1831)

 * I simply want tomorrow to be better than today. I want Palestine to be independent and sovereign... Do not let the olive branch fall from my hand.

 * If we want to dig further into the past, yes, please, I have 50 massacres that were committed by Israel [...] Fifty massacres, 50 Holocausts, and to this day, every day, we have dead people killed by the [Israeli Defence Forces], by the Israeli army.

 * After being asked by a German journalist if Abbas intended to apologise for the Munich Olympics massacre on 5 September 1972 which was carried out by Black September, a terrorist group linked to Abbas' Fatah.

 * Israeli and Zionist claims continue by saying that Israel made the desert bloom. As if Palestine was a desert and they made the desert bloom [...] These are lies. They continue to lie, like Goebbels, and they continue to lie until people believe their lies.

 * The [Europeans] fought against these people because of their role in society, which had to do with usury, money, and so on and so forth ... [Hitler] said he fought the Jews because they were dealing with usury and money. In his view, they were engaged in sabotage, and this is why he hated them. We just want to make this point clear. This was not about Semitism and antisemitism.

 * Haaretz reported Abbas ignored Nazi racial theories in his speech.

About Abbas

 * One of the less savory aspects of Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas's biography is that he has a PhD in Holocaust denial–literally. His 1982 dissertation, published as The Other Side: the Secret Relationship Between Nazism and Zionism, famously argues that the Zionists collaborated with the Nazis in order to spur more Jewish immigration to Palestine. "The Zionist movement," it explains, "led a broad campaign of incitement against the Jews living under Nazi rule, in order to arouse the government's hatred of them, to fuel vengeance against them, and to expand the mass extermination." The Zionists, the work asserts, were the Third Reich’s "basic partner in crime." It also claims that the figure of six million dead has been exaggerated for political gain, and suggests one million as a more reasonable estimate.

 * Do not mathematics and all sciences seem full of contradictions and impossibilities to the ignorant, which are all resolved and cleared to those that understand them?
 * Reported in Josiah Hotchkiss Gilbert, Dictionary of Burning Words of Brilliant Writers (1895), p. 36.

 * If I were but sure that I should live to see the coming of the Lord, it would be the joyfulest tidings in the world. O that I might see His kingdom come!

 * And therefore you must know that you can forfeit the grace and help of God by your willful sinning or negligence, though you cannot, without grace, turn to God. If you will not do what you can, it is just with God to deny you that grace by which you might do more.
 * A Call to the Unconverted to Turn and Live, Preface.

 * It pleased the great Creator of the world to make three sorts of living creatures. Angels he made pure spirits, without flesh, and therefore he made them only for heaven and not to dwell on earth.  Beasts were made flesh, without immortal souls, and therefore they were made only for the earth and not for heaven: Man is of a middle nature between both, as partaking of both flesh and spirit, so is he made for earth, but as his passage or way to heaven, and not that this should be his home or happiness.  The blessed state that man was made for was to behold the glorious majesty of the Lord and to praise him among his holy angels; and to love him, and to be filled with his love forever.
 * A Call to the Unconverted to Turn and Live, Sermon 1

 * As the fire doth mount upwards, and the needle that is touched with the loadstone still turneth to the north, so the converted soul is inclined to God. Nothing else can satisfy him, nor can he find any content and rest but in his love.  In a word, all that are converted do esteem and love God better than all the world; and the heavenly felicity is dearer to them than their fleshly prosperity.
 * A Call to the Unconverted to Turn and Live, Sermon 1

Robert Sidney Foster

Sir Robert Sidney Foster (11 August 1913 – 12 October 2005) was a British colonial administrator who held various offices in both Africa and Oceania. He was Fiji's last colonial governor (1968–1970) and first Governor-General (1970–1973).

Address opening Fiji's first parliamentary session as an independent nation (excerpts)

 * In the lives of nations some occasions possess a unique character. Surely this, the opening of the Independent Fiji's first Parliament, is one of them.

 * On the 10th day of October, Fiji achieved nationhood in the fullest sense of that term. There was no declaration of independence on her part, since independence was freely given. There was simply a grateful acceptance of the independence that was offered, and a dedication to the tasks that lay ahead and she became the master of her own destiny and assumed her place in the world family of Nations.
