Contested deletion
This page should NOT be speedily deleted because... it is not a web host or self promotion as alleged --YorubaHymns (talk) 05:43, 12 June 2012 (UTC) I developed it to have users of similar interest who understand the language to contribute and share freely the hymns available in this language. I am IT literate enough to set up a website if that was the aim.
 * Sorry, but that is the point we are making. Wikipedia is an encyclopaedia which records things of note, and not a place for 'sharing' things. A user page is for telling others a bit about someone who is an editor of the encyclopaedia. Facebook or MySpace are there for the purpose of sharing things like this. There is also the point about the origin of the hymns. If they are not by you, then they are copyright to someone and must not be posted here. If they are yours and first published here, they will be out of your control for others to use elsewhere. If they are already published, then they must not be posted here. Another thing is that they are in Yoruba. This is the English language Wikipedia, and it is for things in English. There is a Yoruba language Wikipedia at http://yo.wikipedia.org/wiki/%C3%88d%C3%A8_Yor%C3%B9b%C3%A1. I don't know their operating rules, but you might have the same problem there.

 * One more revert and you'll be blocked for disruption. - filelake shoe &#xF0F6;  12:51, 12 June 2012 (UTC)
 * He didn't this time - that was typo correction. Peridon (talk) 19:12, 12 June 2012 (UTC)
 * We do understand what you are trying to do, but we feel you don't understand what we're trying to do. Wikipedia is an encyclopaedia, and encyclopaedias are not hymn books. They are for articles recording subjects that are notable. I have written poems. You will not find them on my user page because that is not the place to put them. If they are notable, there will be an article about them (but not written by me). If they aren't, there won't be an article. But you will not find the poems themselves, whichever the state of notability. We are not judging whether the hymns are good or not. If they were in English, we would still be discussing the problem here. There is an article about Hymns Ancient and Modern which is a book of hymns. It is a very notable book of hymns. But the article does not give the actual hymns. If some day The Yoruba Hymn Book is published and gets plenty of reviews in reliable independent sources, then that link will turn blue as the article will exist. But the article will not contain the words of the hymns. Peridon (talk) 21:23, 13 June 2012 (UTC)
 * As reviewing administrator I have closed the discussion with the result delete, and deleted the page. Peridon has explained above the reasons why this encyclopedia is not the place for you to pursue your praiseworthy goal of making the text of these hymns available on the internet. Alternative outlets may give you some ideas. Regards, JohnCD (talk) 16:35, 18 June 2012 (UTC)
 * Also, if you need the deleted material sent to you by email so you can publish it elsewhere, you can contact one of us and we'll send it to you. - filelake shoe &#xF0F6;  16:57, 18 June 2012 (UTC)
