Dies Irae Word By Word
Original translation of a Latin text; encyclopedic content is limited to comments on Mozart's Requiem and Latin. The article says:
 * It is the intention of this translation is to demonstrate slavish attention to the layout of the poetry to emphasize the meter, and encourge the English speaker to recite the Latin out loud.

A noble goal, but not Wikipedia's. Were this on a private site, it might be a nice external link for Dies Irae. &mdash; Haeleth Talk 21:11, 21 November 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete but agree with nominator that once it finds a good home, we should link to it. (P.S. the stuff about Mozart isn't particularly illuminating; seems to be somebody's program notes) &mdash;Wahoofive (talk) 21:49, 21 November 2005 (UTC)
 * Transwiki to Wikisource maybe? Grutness...wha?  01:46, 22 November 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom. or Transwiki per Grutness. -  Dalbury ( Talk )  02:57, 22 November 2005 (UTC)
 * Weak delete or merge with Dies Irae; as I observed in the discussion, the quality of the translation is not so great. If it were a better translation, it might be nice to have in Dies Irae along with the existing poetic translation there.  Schoen 03:05, 22 November 2005 (UTC)
