Six Strings Down
Delete lyrics of non-notable song. At best, belongs on Wikisource. But it could also be nonsense, since another article of this title was deleted yesterday by User:Rdsmith4 and this was re-created shortly thereafter. --BM 22:47, 8 Mar 2005 (UTC)


 * Delete. Song lyrics indeed belong at wikibooks if anywhere (and I doubt they'll thank us for chucking something with copyright concerns over their wall). -- John Fader (talk &bull; contribs) 23:39, 8 Mar 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep new version. Nice work, Jgm.  I'm shocked we don't have an article on Jimmie. -- John Fader (talk &bull; contribs) 03:33, 9 Mar 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete, lyrics by Stevie Ray's brother? So what? Article doesn't say. Unencyclopedic, possible copyvio. Wyss 00:27, 9 Mar 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep, helpful rescue (lyrics are gone, context is explained). Wyss 06:12, 9 Mar 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete. Lyrics may only be semi-policy, but it seems like a good policy to me. JeremyA 03:12, 9 Mar 2005 (UTC) Following the edits by Jgm I no longer have strong feelings about whether this is kept or deleted - Abstain JeremyA 14:41, 9 Mar 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete, not notable, Wikipedia is not a lyrics database. Megan1967 03:14, 9 Mar 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep. The article as it was was useless but the song is quite notable -- the only time in rock music that one family member has eulogized another on record -- and deserving of an article, to which effect I have re-written a decent stub.  I ask those who voted delete above to re-consider based upon current content.  Jgm 03:28, 9 Mar 2005 (UTC)
 * Abstain - the article as it is now doesn't indicate (at least not to an outsider) what is so special about this song. Radiant! 08:56, Mar 9, 2005 (UTC)
 * keep, notable song as explained by Jgm. Kappa 09:44, 9 Mar 2005 (UTC)

 * Keep. As described by Jgm, this song has unique qualities. Carbonite | Talk 22:28, 13 Mar 2005 (UTC)
