Wikiquote is a free online compendium of sourced quotations from notable people and creative works in every language, translations of non-English quotes, and links to Wikipedia for further information. If, on the other hand, no-one has thought it worth repeating, then the quote is probably not notable. They may have been approving or dissenting, said it was well-put or badly-written, but if a quote is often retold by others, then it is notable. One of the simplest tests for notability of a subject, and of a quote, is to check whether other people have quoted it. Conversely, if an article about the topic has been deleted from Wikipedia on grounds of non-notability, then it is likely to be considered not notable on Wikiquote. Generally, if a topic is notable on Wikipedia, then it is notable enough for Wikiquote. Wikiquote is not an indiscriminate directory of anything said by anybody.This means they should identify the reliable sources which give a quote so that others can check it is being quoted accurately. Articles on Wikiquote should be verifiable.Articles on Wikiquote should refer to people or things that are well-known.All entries must meet a minimum threshold of notability, importance, or significance in order for an article on that topic to remain. Wikiquote exists to provide a free, online, searchable, dictionary of quotations.
