Restored Quotes Section

The Quotes section was removed without discussion. I have restored it. We have a newspaper source (the Calgary Herald). We have lots of comments about the quotes (89000 Google hits). Wikipedia articles about Canadian politician commonly include controversial quotes, see for example Pierre Poilievre, Ralph Klein, Pierre Trudeau. Incidentally the spelling in the article is "phoney" not "phony", and the punctuation in the article is "(provides)" not "[provides]", and there are two separate quotes in the article, because that's what's in the Calgary Herald.

If you wish to restore these quotations, it is advisable to do so in a manner that is acceptable, by working them into the main body, not by creating a single dedicated section. It's also important to find reliable sources to establish notability. — TPX 22:55, 18 January 2014 (UTC)

Are you referring to a Wikipedia policy? Can you give the reference please? And do you have an objection to the reliability of The Calgary Herald? Peter Gulutzan (talk) 01:54, 26 January 2014 (UTC)

MOS:QUOTE only provides guidance by way of Wikipedia:Quotations, where it is said that "Quotations should generally be worked into the article text, so as not to inhibit the pace, flow and organization of the article." WP:QUOTEFARM discourages adding quotes when the "relevance is not explained anywhere." It proceeds "Wikipedia is not a list or repository of loosely associated topics such as quotations", and "do not insert any number of quotations in a stand-alone quote section", instead recommending Wikiquote for this purpose. For policy, select quotations that make a subject sound somewhat radical, absent any context, may not pass the npov test, unless notability can be established by a reasonable number of reputable sources that consider the quote remarkable. There is less concern on Wikiquote where adding quotes is encouraged and sourcing is the most important criteria. — TPX 17:30, 26 January 2014 (UTC)

Thanks for explaining. Given what you've pointed out, the quote section should not be added back in its present form. I know that there are notable books and blogs (not "reputable", just "notable" as in "they're in Wikipedia") that consider the quotes remarkable. Perhaps someday I or somebody else could try to fix up the section on that basis, and make it acceptable. But currently I'll guess that we all have better things to worry about.
