Please delete my quote

I made some mistakes on this and I want to write it correctly. https://www.goodreads.com/quotes/9358...

How should it read? We can just edit it.

[[deleted user]]

It's a really long one to paste it all here. I feel like it would be easier to just rewrite it.

[Emily]

If deleted, the "like" it has will be lost, so we recommend editing. You can paste it here in parts, or you can contact Support if you'd rather not.

I see you don't have any books listed, just quotes.

Have you published any books? If not, the quotes do not meet the standard of being from a notable person and should all be deleted.

ETA Goodreads policy concerning quotes:

"Only enter quotes from notable people. Generally, a person is notable if they have been the subject of published secondary source material which is reliable, intellectually independent, and independent of the subject. "

Hi Lethe. I see my work has been deleted without notification or waiting for proof of secondary publishing. Is this in order? Don't you think it is wiser to give someone a chance to provide proof first?

[lethe]

Hi Evy, I'm sorry, I don't know who deleted it. Maybe they decided that since you do not have author status, the quotes shouldn't be there.

Are you a published author?

[[deleted user]]

Wow. So at this point, if I provided the proof would I get my work back?

[lethe]

No, you would have to re-add the quotes.

That is really unfair considering the time and effort someone puts into their work. I'd rather not invest any more of my time here. Thank you for your assistance.

I am sorry, Evy. I agree you should have been given the chance to reply first.

Request you to delete this quote - https://www.goodreads.com/quotes/9932...

Thanks!

Does it need to be edited? It is preferred to edit a quote rather than deleting and starting over.

#12-13 I removed the Dr. from his name and merged with the existing author profile.

Thanks.

Those have been set to delete. Vladan, keep in mind that on Goodreads you have to be a notable person or author to have a quote. Here's the guideline on the page for adding quotes:

Only enter quotes from notable people. Generally, a person is notable if they have been the subject of published secondary source material which is reliable, intellectually independent, and independent of the subject.

If you have publications that fit Goodreads criteria, then those can be added to the database and your quotes could potentially be added.
