Hello, Butwhatdoiknow, and welcome to English Wikiquote.
I have reverted extensive removal of sourced quotes from pages which you have recently made without discussion in recent edits. Please stop removing sourced content from Wikiquote. It is considered vandalism. If you want to experiment, please use the sandbox.
When people are not interested in responsibly contributing to the development of the project incidents of their deliberate vandalism can result in IP addresses or usernames being blocked from editing.
"A quotation can be notable because it has achieved fame due to its enduring relevance to many people, or because it is attributed to a notable individual, or appeared in a notable work."
With regard to your first example, I'm sure the quote would be of interest - "notable," if you will - to scholars, but does that make it a "quality" quote? With regard to your second example, the quote clearly is a "quality" quote and, as you point out, made by a notable person. So it has at least two of the seven quotability factors in its favor.
Hello Butwhatdoiknow, User:DanielTom has only reverted you after another editor faslely called User:Beefybufoon as my sock. Notably these two people have a problem with me removing their non-notable quotes. The other editor Beefybufoon also challenged him again.
Even if DanielTom wants consensus or status quo, he has no reason to edit-war. You are right in what you did. For example Trump's comments may not be reported and noted widely if made by someone else. But is every comment of Trump reported widely just because they're made by him? Of course not. That is the gist of what he is misinterpreting. There's also a very important line in Wikiquote:Quotability saying: It is the quote itself that must be notable. So your edit was correct.
On Everybody Draw Mohammed Day DanielTom kept edit-warring and didn't bother to talk until after my last edit. I had already invited him to discussion. Do discussions take hours or days to start? I waited over an hour after his second revert. He only discussed after 3 hours and accepted my compromise.
On Tipu Sultan he tried to have his preferred version restored by an admin after edit-warring. But BD2412 simply told him to discuss instead. In the end I was right the quote or at least a part of it was non-notable.
