[edit] My Island Home

Song lyrics/poem with no context or explaination. Not relevant content for wikipedia. --11:17, 26 June 2006 (UTC)Ladybirdintheuk

  • Speedy delete per CSD-A1 - no context. This appears to be someone's version of "My Island Home" by Christine Anu. It's not a full copyvio, because the lyrics aren't the same. --Coredesat 11:26, 26 June 2006 (UTC)
  • Speedy Delete per Coredesat. Article tells us nothing about the subject. Ydam 13:23, 26 June 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete. Dunno about Speedy. - CrazyRussian talk/email 17:23, 26 June 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete. Song lyrics (even original ones) are non-encyclopedic. -- Docether 19:06, 26 June 2006 (UTC)
  • Comment. This song is a notable Australian song first performed by the Warumpi Band and then covered by Christine Anu. It is one of the best known pieces of indigenous music. On the other hand, it is copyvio at the moment but I would support keeping a legitimate article on the subject. This is the original version by the Warumpi Band.Capitalistroadster 01:43, 27 June 2006 (UTC)
    • Comment. Cleanup looks good. If you move this to the actual body of the article, I'll revise my opinion to "keep". -- Docether 19:35, 27 June 2006 (UTC)
  • Comment. I agree with Capitalistroadster. I understand that this song is widely approved of by the Torres Strait people and it deserves an article. --Bduke 02:15, 27 June 2006 (UTC)
  • Note: This debate has been included in the list of Australia-related deletions. -- Capitalistroadster 01:50, 27 June 2006 (UTC)
  • Comment - If notable and to be rescued - can we have a {{hang on}} type of tag? If nobody is going to have a go then I would support deletion in its present form.--A Y Arktos\talk 02:28, 27 June 2006 (UTC)
  • I will be working on cleaning it up. The Anu version was an Australasian Performing Rights Association Song of the Year back in the mid 1990's so is certainly significant enough for an article. Capitalistroadster 02:42, 27 June 2006 (UTC)
The lyrics can be found at http://www.ozmusic-central.com.au/oztabs/uvw/WarumpiBand/My%20Island%20Home.txt
I have listed it at Wikipedia:Copyright problems/2006 June 27/Articles suggest this AfD be closed --A Y Arktos\talk 08:40, 27 June 2006 (UTC)
  • see My Island Home/Temp for work in progress on revised version by Capitalistroadster--A Y Arktos\talk 10:12, 27 June 2006 (UTC)
Vote that My Island Home/Temp be moved to main article and Kept, Capitalistroadster has done a great job of cleaning it up. -- Chuq 12:17, 27 June 2006 (UTC)
Agreed. --Ladybirdintheuk 12:39, 27 June 2006 (UTC)
  • Copyright problems can't be speedied once the article is more than 48 hours. Support the move once past the 4th of July, deleting past versions of the article.--A Y Arktos\talk 21:15, 27 June 2006 (UTC)
  • Move My Island Home/Temp to My Island Home and Keep. Great looking new article. (Best end to an AfD is a better article kept.) Eluchil404 17:42, 2 July 2006 (UTC)
