King Edward VI Five Ways school song

 * – (View AfD) (View log)

This article gives the lyrics of the school song for the British school King Edward VI Five Ways. I first thought of merging but the school article is already pretty long and should not be burdened with this. I believe WP:NOT pretty much discourages such lyrics articles in any case.

 * Speedy delete - almost certain copyvio. So tagged. MER-C 05:00, 29 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment Given the school's fairly long history, I doubt that there is still any copyright on this song, if there ever was. Pascal.Tesson 05:03, 29 January 2007 (UTC)


 * Delete I was leaning towards merge, but delete per nom- DE SU  05:34, 29 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete Non-notable song. Even if it was and in public domain, Wikipedia is not a lyrics database. mikmt 05:55, 29 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete WP:NOT. Terence Ong 09:45, 29 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete as textbook WP:NFT.-- danntm T C 02:03, 30 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Do not Delete - As a pupil of the school, I can confirm there is no copyright on the song. Why would a school song be copyrighted? Many schools have the same song anyway, such as King Edward VI Aston. It is an important part of the school, and is as important as the House System, and nobody thinks that that should be deleted. Perhaps a merge is a better option? Alex Holowczak 18:52, 31 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment - If deletion is carried through, leave a note on my talk page, and give me a day to either squeeze it into the Five Ways page, or at the very least copy the lyrics onto my computer. Alex Holowczak 19:36, 1 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment - Assuming it is in the public domain, why not Wikisource it? Tiakalla 07:00, 2 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment - Because I didn't know that existed. If I add the category to the page will it avoid the page being deleted? Alex Holowczak 21:26, 2 February 2007 (UTC)
