Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Knees Up Mother Brown

This page is an archive of the discussion about the proposed deletion of the article below. 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 ambiguous. I count 4 clear delete votes, 4 clear votes to [m:transwiki|]] and 2 conditional votes. A quick review of the Google hits for the first four lines of the song all attribute the song to "Traditional". This leads me to reasonably believe that it is in the public domain and eligible for transwiki. I concur with the decision to transwiki and will put it in the queue.

Knees Up Mother Brown

Speaks for itself doesn't it? Wikipedia is not a ditty lyrics depository.--ZayZayEM 02:02, 1 Jan 2005 (UTC)

Delete. Can't this be speedied for patent nonsense? LostCluster 02:42, 1 Jan 2005 (UTC)
Delete. No. Lyrics and song are genuine. Radical redefinition of "patent nonsense" would be needed. Is PD, so if anyone wants to transwiki to anything (I don't know what; Wikisource?) go ahead. JRM 02:49, 2005 Jan 1 (UTC)
Trankswiki to WikiSource: It is a real song but Wikipedia isn't a lyrics website. DCEdwards1966 02:51, Jan 1, 2005 (UTC)
Transwiki (obviously); there should probably be an article about the song at some point, however... James F. (talk) 04:23, 1 Jan 2005 (UTC)

Delete, Wikipedia isnt a lyrics depository. Megan1967 03:12, 2 Jan 2005 (UTC)
ONLY Transwiki if the lyrics are out of copyright. Delete. Rick K 06:42, Jan 5, 2005 (UTC)
Transwiki if legal. Otherwise, Delete. →Iñgōlemo← (talk) 03:40, 2005 Jan 6 (UTC)
