List of famous sayings

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

List with vague criteria for inclusion and little encyclopedic content. Contested prod. Fabrictramp |  talk to me  13:08, 19 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom. It was suggested this would be more appropriate on Wikiquote, but I don't think it is necessary anyway, since "famous" seems to me an ambiguous term.  [Jam] [talk] 13:27, 19 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete as 1) this should go in WIkiQuote and 2) poorly formatted and not at all a Wikipedia article. Bob Amnertiopsis ChitChat Me!  14:41, 19 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete "Famous" is way too subjective, and I can't imagine how this could possibly be turned into an encyclopedia article. Andrew Lenahan -  St ar bli nd  14:48, 19 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete - not an article. Also WikiQuote does exsist --T-rex 15:20, 19 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete Loose inclusion criteria, bad formatting, indiscriminate. That, and they left out "That's Numberwang!" Ten Pound Hammer  and his otters • (Broken clamshells•Otter chirps) 15:22, 19 June 2008 (UTC)

 * Delete Highly unencyclopediac, poor format, and per WP:RS and WP:NOT. Juliancolton Tropical Cyclone  16:06, 19 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete Per the directly above (I wouldnt even move this to Wikiquote!)...--Cameron (T|C) 16:09, 19 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete. "Famous" is subjective, and lists of quotes belong at WikiQuote, not here. TheCatalyst31 Reaction•Creation 18:46, 19 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete Another randomly assembled, highly subjective list. (And, sorry, but Homer Simpson isn't a real person!). Ecoleetage (talk) 03:11, 20 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete per everyone. Doesn't belong at Wikipedia. JuJube (talk) 06:06, 20 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete per Andrew Lenahan Buc (talk) 20:19, 20 June 2008 (UTC)
