[edit] Six Strings Down

Delete lyrics of non-notable song. At best, belongs on Wikisource. But it could also be nonsense, since another article of this title was deleted yesterday by User:Rdsmith4 and this was re-created shortly thereafter. --BM 22:47, 8 Mar 2005 (UTC)

• Delete. Song lyrics indeed belong at wikibooks if anywhere (and I doubt they'll thank us for chucking something with copyright concerns over their wall). -- John Fader (talk • contribs) 23:39, 8 Mar 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep new version. Nice work, Jgm. I'm shocked we don't have an article on Jimmie. -- John Fader (talk • contribs) 03:33, 9 Mar 2005 (UTC)
• Delete, lyrics by Stevie Ray's brother? So what? Article doesn't say. Unencyclopedic, possible copyvio. Wyss 00:27, 9 Mar 2005 (UTC)
• Keep, helpful rescue (lyrics are gone, context is explained). Wyss 06:12, 9 Mar 2005 (UTC)
• Delete. Wikipedia:Lyrics may only be semi-policy, but it seems like a good policy to me. JeremyA 03:12, 9 Mar 2005 (UTC) Following the edits by Jgm I no longer have strong feelings about whether this is kept or deleted - Abstain JeremyA 14:41, 9 Mar 2005 (UTC)
• Delete, not notable, Wikipedia is not a lyrics database. Megan1967 03:14, 9 Mar 2005 (UTC)
• Keep. The article as it was was useless but the song is quite notable -- the only time in rock music that one family member has eulogized another on record -- and deserving of an article, to which effect I have re-written a decent stub. I ask those who voted delete above to re-consider based upon current content. Jgm 03:28, 9 Mar 2005 (UTC)
  • Abstain - the article as it is now doesn't indicate (at least not to an outsider) what is so special about this song. Radiant! 08:56, Mar 9, 2005 (UTC)
