Response to the 2005 London bombings
Transwiki to Wikiquote, jguk 10:55, 10 July 2005 (UTC)


 * Keep I think it is well put together. And it would have to be broken up to move to WikiQuote. Plus I don't think it's totally appropriate there, either. Newsong 11:39, 12 July 2005 (UTC)


 * Support if it stays in its current format. It shouldn't be broken up by person.--Madison Gray 13:19, 10 July 2005 (UTC)
 * What, exactly, are you supporting? Please read WP:GVFD for clearer and commonly understood ways of expressing your opinion about the deletion of articles. Uncle G 13:39, 10 July 2005 (UTC)


 * Keep- excellent summarisation of the responses of various people, and not all of it is quotes. Astrotrain 14:05, July 10, 2005 (UTC)


 * Transwiki source material to 7 July 2005 London bombings, and move quotes to Wikiquote, reduce those sections to a summary. But keep this page and expand with things like the royal family's visits, police investigation, possible trials and any interesting things to note, such as whether it has an effect on blood donations, racism, feelings towards ID cards, the proposed US-style security department etc etc.  Joe D (t) 15:56, 10 July 2005 (UTC)


 * Keep. No issue with Wikisource and/or Wikiquote having the same information, but this is encyclopedic and deserves to presented on our pages. If there was a way of including text from Wikisource/Wikiquote without duplication, much as we do with images, then that would be different. -- Chris j wood 16:10, 10 July 2005 (UTC)


 * Keep. This is really part of the main article about the incident. In the future it might be relegated to a different wiki but right now it is describing part of the events. The collection together makes it a report of reactions rather than a simple quote.Sandpiper 16:24, 10 July 2005 (UTC)


 * Keep and use Joe D.'s idea. -mysekurity 18:28, 10 July 2005 (UTC)


 * I agree with most of the ideas expressed above. Rather than being redundant, I'll post my vote without further comment: keep. IanManka 18:33, 10 July 2005 (UTC)


 * Transwiki to Wikiquote, but keep a few choice quotes - e.g. Queen, PM, pope, archbishop-of-canterbury, Chirac for the main article.     20:56, 10 July 2005 (UTC)


 * Keep Death to Wikiquote. Dmn / &#1332;&#1396;&#1398; 21:49, 10 July 2005 (UTC)


 * Agree with Joe D: Transwiki the quotes, and make this article a factual account of what actions were taken in response to the bombings. Dcarrano 23:19, July 10, 2005 (UTC)


 * Keep This was originally a section of the main article that was moved out to save space. Deletion would be a dangerous precedent for other breakout articles. Should be in the main encyclopedia, not a little known offshoot. CalJW 01:59, 11 July 2005 (UTC)


 * Keep. Per CalJW. Whig 04:48, 11 July 2005 (UTC)


 * Keep per Astrotrain. Also, many of the quotes are partial and/or have no official English translation. KissL 08:35, 11 July 2005 (UTC)


 * Keep per Astrotrain. This information should not be lost. William Flowers 09:26, 11 July 2005 (UTC)


 * Transwiki, this is what Wikiquote is for, regardless of how little respect you may have for it. Collections of quotes do not belong on Wikipedia. And get rid of all those useless flag icons. ed g2s  &bull;  talk  12:13, 11 July 2005 (UTC)
 * The flag icons allow a reader to scan the list for a particular country with relative ease, and it brightens up the list significantly. Astrotrain 17:08, July 11, 2005 (UTC)


 * Weak Keep - I think some of the less notable quotes can be removed. 62.253.128.12 12:34, 11 July 2005 (UTC)


 * Keep. - Mailer Diablo 16:55, 11 July 2005 (UTC)


 * Keep More than just a list of quotes.  As CalJW pointed out, this was originally a section of the main article that was moved out to save space. Sonic Mew 16:58, July 11, 2005 (UTC)


 * Keep in order to avoid having the main article cluttered with this. --carlb 17:07, 11 July 2005 (UTC)


 * Transwiki to Wikiquote and merge more notable responses back into main article. Kaldari 00:17, 12 July 2005 (UTC)


 * Transwiki as per Joe D. --nixie 09:15, 12 July 2005 (UTC)
 * Comment: I have done a little work to make this less quote-centric. I still think many or most of the quotes shouls be removed, but it should be clear that there is enough to say about other responses to make this page worthwhile.  Joe D (t) 09:36, 12 July 2005 (UTC)


 * Keep as per Chris j wood.--[[Image:Flag_of_Australia.svg|15px]] Cyberjunkie   TALK  10:44, 12 July 2005 (UTC)


 * Keep as per CalJW. And I like the new organization of this article.  CanadianCaesar 01:56, 13 July 2005 (UTC)


 * Keep Notable list. Do not move to wikiquote. Break-out articles ought to be kept in the main encyclopedia. Klonimus 07:16, 13 July 2005 (UTC)


 * Keep It is a break-out article and any debate about deletion should be postponed until things have settled down a bit. Carcharoth 23:17, 13 July 2005 (UTC)


 * Transwiki to Wikiquote. MathiasRav 15:55, 14 July 2005 (UTC)


 * Keep Dejvid 23:36, 14 July 2005 (UTC) but a lot of the international quotes are not notable and could be transwikiedDejvid 10:18, 15 July 2005 (UTC)


 * Keep. violet/riga (t) 10:49, 15 July 2005 (UTC)


 * Keep. It's a piece which reflects the zeitgeist as well as recording the individual quotes. As such it add to the overall knowledge of the subject and deserves a place in an encyclopedia. Unbehagen 16:41, 15 July 2005 (UTC)


 * Keep, educational, interesting, and informative. 24 at 15:10, 17 July 2005 (UTC)
