Delete Meaningless Quotes
Yeah I know we went through this before but it was different because it was going to delete entire pages. I'm tweaking that to say keep the pages, but delete meaningless quotes. For example:


 * Useful quotes: "Oh, did I win?" "Let's go already!"


 * Meaningless quotes: "Yes!" "Woohoo!"

In essence, quotes that are only used by one character (Peach and Waluigi, respectively) will stay. Generic quotes (So many Mario characters say "Yes!" in Mario Party and Mario Kart) will be deleted.

Proposer: Deadline: Sept. 9, 2015, 23:59 GMT

Support

 * 1) I'm ZonkMario64, and I approve this proposal.
 * 2) YES PLEASE! It's so annoying having a "quotes" page full of stuff like "yay" "woohoo" and "yeah" to name a few. Per proposal.

Comments
I'm pretty sure there already was a proposal enacted to curb these things? Or I swear there already is a guideline that specifically advocates removal of "YES WHOOOOHOOOO" quotes. 16:15, 2 September 2015 (EDT)


 * Yes, but it was vetoed by admins because it would "strip the wiki of valuable information." SM64 Mario Sidekick.png Don't Get Zonked!  Question Block 3D.png (blabbing &middot; what i do) 16:16, 2 September 2015 (EDT)

 * That proposal said to delete whole articles of quotes. The one I linked was to specifically delete these. 16:20, 2 September 2015 (EDT)
 * But the proposal from '07 was about gibberish and the like. "Yes" is not gibberish. SM64 Mario Sidekick.png Don't Get Zonked!  Question Block 3D.png (blabbing &middot; what i do) 16:35, 2 September 2015 (EDT)
 * It's not talking about literally gibberish, it's just talking about quotes that are mostly meaningless onomatopoeia. 16:39, 2 September 2015 (EDT)
 * Which doesn't apply to "Yes" either, I don't believe. SM64 Mario Sidekick.png Don't Get Zonked!  Question Block 3D.png (blabbing &middot; what i do) 16:40, 2 September 2015 (EDT)


 * The admin veto summary explicitly says "trim out the unnecessary quotes". The proposal was vetoed because it was using a sledge hammer where a pick-axe would be better, but ultimately, both it and this one were/are unnecessary, since useless quotes that show us nothing about a character's personality can already be removed via common sense and good taste. -

This proposal is not needed whatsoever since it should, on paper, be enforced already as cited by previous proposals above. We can go ahead and delete those "all rights" and "yes" crap but I can imagine people going back and readding those quotes because they're actual words, I guess. If you want to hear character interjections, go to other sites, such as The Sounds Resource, a far better resource than MarioWiki. 20:59, 2 September 2015 (EDT)
