Delete. Lyrics only. 82.34.83.208
I created this page on my first tour of Wikipedia and it has no value. I am still tying to learn how to format a page let alone delete one. Great website, but very complicated. I dont even know for sure if this request is in the right place! Cheers: AF.

Keep, valid article. (that is assuming that national anthems can't be copyrighted) but cleanup. Dunc_Harris|☺ 12:06, 3 Jun 2004 (UTC)
Delete unless someone can add commentary, history, an explanation, etc. And are those the entire lyrics? It seems awfully short to be a national anthem. Meelar 13:50, 3 Jun 2004 (UTC)
Keep. Significant & has potential for expansion. PS to original author: keep the original version but also provide an English translation, thanks. PPS: Agreed w/ Duncharris that we need to establish the copyright status of the lyrics. Wile E. Heresiarch 15:00, 3 Jun 2004 (UTC)
- It's a bit difficult. it appears that the Somali government doesn't exist, [1], but that the anthem was replaced in 2000 with a worded version that I can't find the lyrics to. This is need of attention though Wikipedia:WikiProject_National_Anthems doesn't seem too helpful. Dunc_Harris|☺ 17:07, 3 Jun 2004 (UTC)
Keep, it's a valid article though could do with some content other than just the lyrics. About the copyright issue, I suppose it depends when and by whom the national anthem was written though I shan't imagine a copyright case would be pursued for a country's national anthem... -- Graham :) | Talk 19:10, 3 Jun 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Translation?

Would you be so kind as to translate the anthem into English? I'd like to understand what it's saying.
