Starting to wonder if quotes pages for works were a mistake.
Trouble Cube continues to be a general-purpose forum for those who desire such a thing.
While we're on the subject, I know some of the Kamen Rider pages have the same issue; in this case listing every exclamation the Transformation Trinket(s) can or do say. And I wouldn't be surprised if Super Sentai did as well, though I haven't checked.

As said before, a small selection of the best would be fine but a quick count gives ~39 for Abigail and there's 30-something characters. I don't know where the line would be drawn but I feel pretty confident it would be far below that.
Agree Kamen Rider has a similar problem. The franchise enjoys talkative gear. The Zi-O page has the activation line for possibly all of the collectibles (including one which is only known from leaks, and quite a few that only exist as toys), and a bunch of finisher lines. I don't think any of those are really worthwhile quotes. There's a slightly odd (but relatively far better) case in that there's a running gag of one character making fairly verbose speeches; in theory them being in there is fine, but there's eight now and that may be excessive. Similar 'all the lines for the collectibles' situation on Build, Ex-Aid, Ghost (this one doesn't even have character quotes - it's all the collectibles), Gaim. On Super Sentai I can't seem to find any similar pages, but the quotes page for the franchise as a whole does seem to have most of the lyrics to Hero Getter (42 short lines)
Speaking of pages with too many quotes, Paladins lists every single Champion's Ultimate quote under Pre Ass Kicking One Liner. Said list is also copied in its entirety on Awesome.Paladins. I don't think it's necessary to list every single line like that.
Sounds like quotes and quotes sub-pages need to have a wick-check done to confirm misuse so that a TRS thread can be made on this if these problems are widespread.

So, this is inarguably ridiculous and I'm super on board with culling these pages.
But it leads me to ask... what is the point of a work's quote page? Like this is blatant in its being over-the-top but I don't know what the cut off really would be.
Found a Youtube Channel with political stances you want to share? Hop on over to this page and add them.
Quotes.Street Fighter V appears to be every single victory quote.
Also, last call before I remove the entire clash quotes section from Quotes.Injustice Gods Among Us.
