[edit] Tamo daleko

Unencyclopedic, just lyrics and one line of explanation, but significance not mentioned. Nekohakase 21:23, 21 September 2006 (UTC)

• Keep The fact that the article needs work isn't a criteria for deletion. The phrase gets nearly [1.5 million Ghits]. A lot are in (probably) Serbian, but still, so far as "serbian folk songs from WWI" go, I'd hazard that this one might be the most notable. Let's do the work on the article, but I don't think deleting is necessary. I'll defer to anyone who knows more about it. The article appears to be a bit POV pushing -- some controversy about the song referenced by the link at the bottom. But that's work to do, not deletion. Dina 02:53, 22 September 2006 (UTC)
• Keep KEEP THIS ARTICLE CAN BE USED FOR RESEARCH ON SERBIA AND POPULAR SONGS, IT IS INFORMATION THAT IS TRUTHFUL AND CAN BE USED AS A SOURCE. THE ARTICLE DOES NEED WORK BUT SHOULD BE KEPT —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 72.77.99.18 (talk • contribs) .
• Transwiki to wikisource if the copyright is OK, otherwise delete.--Peta 04:26, 27 September 2006 (UTC)
• Keep If it is a stub it is not a reason enough to delete. This is an important song and would be like deleting Waltzing Matilda article for Australia Avala 19:47, 27 September 2006 (UTC)

• Delete, meaningless article. I'll change my opinion if someone improves the article. Punkmorten 21:36, 4 October 2006 (UTC) Needs proper reference. Punkmorten 19:28, 6 October 2006 (UTC)
• Keep it. It is a very important song for Serbian culture and history. I've written a few sentences and put it in three categories. I contacted PANONIAN to add something else if he can. Stefanmg 14:48, 6 October 2006 (UTC)
• Strong keep. This is the Serbian song of WWI. It's the kind of song that everyone in Serbia knows and it would probably be accurate to say that more people know the words to this song than know the words of the national anthem. So, it's notable - think of how many articles we have on rubbish like Star Trek back-stories. It should be improved, not deleted. --estavisti 12:54, 6 October 2006 (UTC)
• Keep. It is well known song, but it should be translated into English. PANONIAN (talk) 13:45, 6 October 2006 (UTC)
• Keep - very famous song and phrase. Luka Jačov 14:08, 6 October 2006 (UTC)
• Keep - not sure why this was nominated and not requested expansion from the beginning, but it seems the current version seems to address the concerns regarding the nomination -- this is a notable song in Serbian culture and history. // Laughing Man 14:23, 6 October 2006 (UTC)
• Comment: I would close this, but I would like to see some WP:RS first. And please jettison the lyrics. Punkmorten 19:28, 6 October 2006 (UTC)
• Strong Keep This is one of the most important songs in Serbian history. It definately should not be deleted; I fully agree on expanding the article. Хајдук Еру (Talk || Cont) 17:08, 8 October 2006 (UTC)
