Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Jesus Christ (Christ the Lord) is Risen Today

Jesus Christ (Christ the Lord) is Risen Today 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 transwiki to Wikisource. As of 17:30, 21 Nov 2004 (UTC), this article is still in the queue to be moved. Rossami (talk)

Basically just lyrics, which doesn't really seem to be encyclopedic. Also, Hark, The Herald Angels Sing, Love Divine, All Loves Excelling, O for a Thousand Tongues to Sing. Niteowlneils 01:43, 27 Sep 2004 (UTC)


 * Delete -not encyclopedic. move to Transwiki--Jondel 01:59, 27 Sep 2004 (UTC)
 * Transwiki to Wikihymnbook, if public domain, which they should be. -- [[User:Bobdoe| Bob Doe ]] 02:10, 27 Sep 2004 (UTC)
 * Transwiki. &bull; Benc &bull; 02:58, 27 Sep 2004 (UTC)
 * Keep the article prefacing the lyrics at O for a Thousand Tongues to Sing. Transwiki everything else, including the lyrics at that article. --Aponar Kestrel (talk) 05:00, 2004 Sep 27 (UTC)
 * Retain, but perhaps recatalogue in a location for songs/lyrics, specifically in a hymnology section -- Manumit 05:31, 27 Sep 2004 (UTC)
 * Transwiki lyrics, keep preface of O for a Thousand Tongues to Sing Gazpacho 05:37, 27 Sep 2004 (UTC)
 * Transwiki lyrics; keep stubs as pointers to Wikisource. Smerdis of Tlön 16:06, 27 Sep 2004 (UTC)
 * Transwiki lyrics and keep prefaces, but replace lyrics in WP with links to transwikied copies. More can probably be written about them in the manner of the preface to O for a Thousand Tongues to Sing.   &mdash; Gwalla | Talk 19:03, 27 Sep 2004 (UTC)
 * Though I don't know how it's done, I agree with the idea of Transwikiing the lyrics. However, I wonder whether the preface referenced at OfaTTtS would be awkward as an article without the lyrics also present.  Thehappysmith 21:30 27 Sep 04 UTC
 * Transwiki - what Gwalla said. --avnative 18:19, Oct 1, 2004 (UTC)
 * Many people search for lyrics, both on popular songs, folk songs and Christian hymns. As I understand it, Transwiki is for translation, but that makes no sense for lyrics, they need to be in the original language. O for a Thousand Tongues to Sing is especially relevant for the founding of Methodism, a very large world religion, and is included as the first hymn in all hymnals for a reason - thus, the reason needs to be recorded in an encyclopedia. Transwiki does not seem to me to be the appropriate place to move - can someone explain? I am against deletion!--WiseWoman 12:59, 2004 Oct 3 (UTC)
 * Transwiki generally has nothing to do with translations--it just refers to moving content to a more appropriate sister project. For example, dictionary definitions get transwikied to Wiktionary, otherwise non-notable 9/11 victims get transwikied to the 9/11 memorial, recipes get transwikied to Wikibooks (cookbook), speech texts get transwikied to Wikisource. I believe lyrics get transwikied to Wikisource. Niteowlneils 20:42, 3 Oct 2004 (UTC)
