Unnotable rhyme. Probable hoax. Alexius08 is welcome to talk about his contributions. 11:38, 7 June 2008 (UTC)

Hiya - I haven't finished writing this page! So requesting its deletion may be premature and unhelpful! The nursery rhyme is from England - You are not which is why you think the rhyme is unnotable - it's not part of your cultural background.

It is not a hoax as my references demonstrate. It is niche as it is of interest to those involved with pre-school children, leading singing classes etc.

There are loads of action and nursery rhymes listed on Wikipedia so I added this because it was missing. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Organicbaby (talk • contribs) 11:56, 7 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment It is extremely rude to use AfD before an article is a week old, let alone an hour. Does nom really think judgment can be passed two minutes after the last edit? The provided references don't give evidence of much history behind this rhyme, but it's certainly not WP:MADEUP. I'm not looking up WP:N for public domain music, because nom is silly, but this seems like a keeper. Potatoswatter (talk) 14:53, 7 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep: not because it's a rude or silly nomination, but because it's a good nomination of something that turns out to be notable after all. Nyttend (talk) 15:02, 7 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep. Very well sourced by now. The rhyme has inspired a book, which shows notability (for the rhyme, not necessarily the book). --Bonadea (talk) 17:26, 7 June 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for the positive comments - I'm currently researching some further information regarding the origins of the rhyme. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Organicbaby (talk • contribs) 16:10, 7 June 2008 (UTC)
