Mr Bobby
Article contains nothing encyclopedic, doesn't establish why it should be included so fails WP:VERIFY, and is a possible copyvio as it contains lyrics to a possibly copyrighted song. —TheJC (Talk • Contribs • Count) 10:17, 6 July 2006 (UTC) style="color: rgb(255, 10, 0);"> Humphreys SPEAK TO MEABOUTTHE THINGS I MESSED UP 14:29, 6 July 2006 (UTC)

 * Comment/Question I've come across quite a few newly created articles listing nothing more than the lyrics of a particular song. Is there a policy on this ? Travelbird 14:07, 6 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Comment There are several policies (as well as guidelines) that would effect inclusion of an article containing lyrics. Possible the easiest to understand would be Copyrights and the sub-section Copyrights. There is also Verifiability and the currently proposed guideline/policy at WikiProject Music/Notability and Songs. As the Copyrights policy states If you use part of a copyrighted work under "fair use", or if you obtain special permission to use a copyrighted work from the copyright holder under the terms of our license, you must make a note of that fact (along with names and dates). An example of a song that is still under copyright which we can't include the full lyrics to is Happy Birthday to You. —TheJC (Talk • Contribs • Count) 15:44, 6 July 2006 (UTC)

 * Question I agree that articles that are simply a song's lyrics are of no use, but aren't singles by notable artists usually kept? Admittedly, I am only familiar with the songs off Manu Chao's Clandestino album, and this is from a later album, so while I can't say much about it, I am leaning toward keep/expand/remove copyvio lyrics, as seems to be the general consensus at Articles_for_deletion/Right_Thurr.

 * Comment I attempted to set up a workable stub here. If anyone here has access to charts from Spain, I believe this was a sizable hit there, so an actual peak would be nice. Also, if this survives, I suggest a move to Mr. Bobby. GassyGuy 20:27, 6 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Withdraw nomination. GassyGuy's changes to the article, as well as his comments above have resolved the problems the article had when I nominated it, and therefore the reasons for the nomination are no longer valid. —TheJC (Talk • Contribs • Count) 20:59, 6 July 2006 (UTC)
