[edit] Duli Yang Maha Mulia
Not in English, and probably not an article
Abstain for now. Judging from What links here, this is the lyrics for the state anthem for the state of Selangor in Malaysia, which suggests some notability. I'd suggest putting it on Wikipedia:Pages needing translation, and returning here (with a signing account) if no Malay speaker steps up to the plate and fleshes out the article. Smerdis of Tlön 18:37, 8 Jun 2005 (UTC)- Keep valid stub, confirmed stub. Smerdis of Tlön 18:04, 14 Jun 2005 (UTC)
- If it's the lyrics to a song, it should be transwikied to Wikisource (if there are no copyright problems) or deleted. --Carnildo 23:53, 8 Jun 2005 (UTC)
- Delete wikipedia is not a lyrics database. JamesBurns 07:22, 9 Jun 2005 (UTC)

if translated, assuming Duli Yang Maha Mulia is indeed the title for the anthem of Selangor. The lyrics themselves should go to wikisource, but state anthems deserve articles.-- Jonel 19:22, 9 Jun 2005 (UTC)- Just flat out "keep" from me as it is now. -- Jonel 15:33, 13 Jun 2005 (UTC)
- There's nothing here but the lyrics. Are you proposing to keep an empty article? --Carnildo 20:55, 9 Jun 2005 (UTC)
- A stub essentially saying that is the state anthem of Selangor would be fine until someone put in more information. I don't want to convert it into that until I'm sure it's accurate though. -- Jonel 02:19, 10 Jun 2005 (UTC)
- FWIW, the lyrics given are seven brief lines. If it can be confirmed that this is indeed the state anthem, these are the lyrics, and someone includes some sort of brief writeup about the song, I'm not sure that the Malay lyrics couldn't be kept here, or that it's extended source material that should go to Wikisource. I also don't see any realistic copyright issues. Smerdis of Tlön 04:12, 10 Jun 2005 (UTC)
- Comment. It is common practice to include the lyrics of national anthems on Wikipedia: see Category:National anthems. That said, this page is particularly weak. It still should have gone to Wikipedia:Pages needing translation into English before being listed here. Physchim62 09:21, 12 Jun 2005 (UTC)

- Keep. Context and English translation now added. Our colleagues at ms: have verified that this is the state anthem of Selangor. Physchim62 07:39, 13 Jun 2005 (UTC)
