[edit] Tong Hua
From what I can tell, and assuming the English half is an accurate translation of the Chinese half, this is a lullaby. I don't think lullabies are encyclopedic. DS 14:19, 13 September 2005 (UTC)
- Transwiki to
a Wikibooks book of lullabiesWikisource as per Uncle G. Thryduulf 15:33, 13 September 2005 (UTC)- Actually, it's Wikisource that is our songbook. It contains hymns, songs, and the odd national anthem or two (Don't be misled by the number of redlinks there. They were blue until very recently, when the language separation caused a bit of a mess.). Uncle G 18:39, 13 September 2005 (UTC)
- Although the song is titled lullaby, it is not a lullaby. Rather, it is a song for a recent song in China. The content of the article is the lyric for the song. Unless Wikisource keep tracks of lyric for recent songs, the article should be deleted. --Hurricane111 01:31, 15 September 2005 (UTC)
- Wikisource will take lyrics as long as they are either not subject to copyright or are copyrighted but licensed under the GFDL (or a compatible licence). If, as you appear to be implying, these are the lyrics to a song that is still subject to copyright, then the article is a copyright violation, and does not belong on any WikiMedia project. If that is what you are implying, please list the article at Wikipedia:Copyright problems. Uncle G 11:09, 16 September 2005 (UTC)
