possible violation of WP:LYRICS Xiaphias 03:10, 2 July 2007 (UTC)

• For the sake of all involved, I would like you to explain why this fails WP:LYRICS, rather than just saying it does. Also, Keep. Conditional delete per below. We could use a lyrics-free article on the song. Just because the article is bad does not mean the topic isn't notable. See WP:RUBBISH. Morgan Wick 04:38, 2 July 2007 (UTC)
• Delete unless notability can be established. At present the article is simply the untranslated text of what is said to be a patriotic song. The relevant portion of WP:MUSIC says that:

A song is probably notable if it meets one or more of the following standards:

1. ...has been covered in sufficient independent works.
2. ...is a released single by a notable artist, band or group.
3. ...has been ranked on a national or significant music chart.
4. ...has been recognized by journalists, biographers, and/or other respected cultural critics as being significant to a noteworthy group's repertoire.
5. ...has won a significant award or honor.

This song may be notable by one of these criteria, and if an editor can find a source for this and improve the atricle, I would change my vote to keep. Kim Dent-Brown ^{(Talk to me)} 16:00, 2 July 2007 (UTC)

• Delete with no prejudice to recreation as a properly sourced article about the song. As it stands, there is no indicia of notability and no real content but for the lyrics.-- danntm ^T _C 18:25, 9 July 2007 (UTC)
• Keep, I've added two links to verify it is legit. It will expand in time. John Vandenberg 03:01, 10 July 2007 (UTC)
