WP:NOT Song lyrics. John Nagle (talk) 08:34, 6 January 2008 (UTC)

Appears to be the full lyrics of a song, or the text of a ritual or prayer. WP:NOT para. 2.9 applies. Possible copyvio. --John Nagle (talk) 08:40, 6 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Speedy Delete Copyright violation, which the article even provides the source of. Even if it wasn't: no sources, not claims of notability, no context of what it is, and other problems.  TJ   Spyke   09:39, 6 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Speedy delete under CSD G12. Rudget . 12:27, 6 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep Dartmouth_College_Alma_Mater is the same thing.... i dont see how you can justify deleteing ours and keeping theirs just because their ivy leauge.... is wikipedia biased now!Rankun (talk) 15:22, 6 January 2008 (UTC)
 * See WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS. Just because something else has an article doesn't mean this should. If you see an article that you think should be deleted, be bold and nominate it. Besides, this article still is a copyright violation IMO.  TJ   Spyke   22:58, 6 January 2008 (UTC)
 * It may not be a copyright violation; the content may be old enough to be out of copyright. That's why I didn't put a tag on it.  But Wikipedia doesn't do lyrics; see WP:NOT.  If it is out of copyright, it could be put in Wikimedia Commons. --John Nagle (talk) 00:36, 7 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Well, Wikipedia doesn't do exclusively lyrics. They might be included alongside encyclopedic information, so long as that inclusion is not a copyright problem. Dylan (talk) 08:53, 8 January 2008 (UTC)
 * The comparison to Alma Mater (Dartmouth College) is not a very good one, either, because that song received national media attention in the 1970s and 1980s (notability). This song does not appear to have received similar attention. Dylan (talk) 08:53, 8 January 2008 (UTC)


 * Merge – To Seton Hall University until article is expanded.  Shoessss |  Chat  15:29, 6 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete, do not merge copyright violations.  Corvus cornix  talk  23:30, 6 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment – I am sorry how is it copyright violation involved here, it is the Alma Mater song!  I did not realize copyright was involved in these insistences. Shoessss |  Chat  01:12, 7 January 2008 (UTC)
 * It amy or not be copyright violation (in response to John), it depends on when it was written. It's unlikey that whoever wrote the song didn't copyright it because that would mean they would never make money off of it. It's one of the reasons articles on songs here don't include the lyrics.
