Love Divine, All Loves Excelling was proposed for deletion. This page is an archive of the discussion about the proposed deletion. This page is no longer live. Further comments should be made on the article's talk page rather than here so that this page is preserved as an historic record. The result of the debate was CONSENSUS NOT REACHED

Just lyrics. Part of an earlier nomination, but apparently whoever took care of the others left these behind. Same story for O for a Thousand Tongues to Sing. Niteowlneils 18:17, 25 Oct 2004 (UTC)

  • Oh, and apparently also Hark, The Herald Angels Sing. They were apparently discussed at Wikipedia:Votes for deletion/Jesus Christ (Christ the Lord) is Risen Today. I think transwiki is OK, but that the preface to O for a Thousand Tongues to Sing should stay. That seems to have been the consensus last time too. Cool Hand Luke 18:38, 25 Oct 2004 (UTC)
  • Transwiki to Wikisource and delete. Geogre 19:04, 25 Oct 2004 (UTC)
  • Transwiki; if there is anything other than lyrics, it should be left, and some of the lyrics should remain (perhaps one verse) to give a sample, plus the Wikisource page should be linked. [[User:Aranel|Aranel ("Sarah")]] 02:15, 26 Oct 2004 (UTC)
  • Agree with Aranel. (Keep Hark, as is.) [[User:Rhymeless|Rhymeless | (Methyl Remiss)]] 05:36, 26 Oct 2004 (UTC)
  • Delete. Jesuscruft. ;) --Improv 07:46, 26 Oct 2004 (UTC)
  • Keep article, transwiki majority of lyrics and link to them —siroχo 08:26, Oct 26, 2004 (UTC)
  • Keep article - the author, and musical arrangements are interesting, but the lyrics can be moved elsewhere. Intrigue 16:52, 28 Oct 2004 (UTC)
  • Just because some people don't approve of anything religious is no reason to remove this. We are making an encyclopedia. These hymns are part of a long tradition in many churches. The stories of how the hymns were written, both text and melody, are interesting. Since space is not a issue, what is the problem with keeping the lyrics (which are now in the public domain) as a documentation? I vort for keeping these and other hymns!--WiseWoman 20:57, 2004 Oct 30 (UTC)
