Lyric poetry of the Sports Club Dynamo

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

Very little idea what this is actually about, but it doesn't seem to be an encyclopedic topic. Another user kept blanking the page and replacing with copyvio, so I felt it warranted discussion. Ten Pound Hammer and his otters • (Broken clamshells•Otter chirps) 01:45, 22 March 2008 (UTC)


 * I blanked the article because it is most likely a copyright violation. Most likely these poems are not in the public domain, as they were written sometime between 1950 and 1990 and copyright expires in Germany 70 years after the death of the author. They are also not fair use as they are quoted in their entirety. Apart from the copyright problem, they are not encyclopaedic. Novidmarana (talk) 01:58, 22 March 2008 (UTC)


 * If not a copyvio, this is probably a candidate for transwiki to someplace else. Celarnor Talk to me 02:01, 22 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete as apparent copyvio. While the introduction claims that the poems date back to the Weimar Republic, the last poem on the page makes references to the "DDR" and three athletes who did not gain fame until the 1950s. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 02:20, 22 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete - unencyclopedic, and also as a copyviolation. There is no assertion of the importance of the poems, so any new article would have to start completely afresh. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 06:58, 23 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete - Certainly not information you'd find in any encyclopedia. Wikipedia is not a poetry anthology. --clpo13(talk) 09:32, 25 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete - Incoherent, POV, not noteable. Wiggy! (talk) 12:46, 25 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete as copyvio and complete silliness -- fight songs might deserve a mention in the parent article, but certainly not an article of their own. (Disclaimer: I blocked the creator of this article before this article was nom'ed.) - Revolving Bugbear  19:30, 26 March 2008 (UTC)
