[edit] A Red, Red Rose

A source text. Since the author, Robert Burns, is long dead, it is in the public domain, but it still doesn't belong in Wikipedia. Transwiki to Wikisource or delete. Thue | talk 19:57, 13 August 2005 (UTC) KEEP after the rewrite, of course! :). Thue | talk 18:36, 15 August 2005 (UTC)

• Delete this (or if anyone cares to tranwiki before deletion feel free to), but certainly there is potential for a good article here. One of Burns' most famous poems. -R. fiend 20:08, 13 August 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep the troadster's rewrite, of course. -R. fiend 14:40, 15 August 2005 (UTC)
• Keep. I certainly hope to prepare an article on this subject before the close of this content. Hopefully, the content can be transwiki'd. Notable poem by Robert Burns and song as well. Eddi Reader, formerly of Fairground Attraction recorded a version of the song on Eddi Reader Sings the Songs of Robert Burns released on Rough Trade Records in 2003.

  • Jean Redpath recorded it as well, along with just about every other Burns song. -R. fiend 14:40, 14 August 2005 (UTC)
• Comment Deserves to be on a Wikimedia project but maybe Wikisource is more appropriate? Fg2 02:38, August 14, 2005 (UTC)
• As it is just source material right now transwiki to Wikisource (if its not already there) and Delete, However this is certainly a valid article topic. Keep rewrite, yet another Capitalistroadster save. Dsmdgold 16:32, August 14, 2005 (UTC)
  • Wikisource has it already, here. Dsmdgold 16:35, August 14, 2005 (UTC)
• Keep. I have rewritten the article so that it is about the song/poem. Capitalistroadster 11:16, 15 August 2005 (UTC)
