The Ballad of Mulan
Public domain Chinese poem has been moved to Wikisource. The rest is an English translation traced to a 1976 book. It may be PD or not - it's all over the web - but is otherwise a copyvio. Most of what else can be said about the poem is already at Hua Mulan --Diderot 11:25, 5 Apr 2005 (UTC)

 * Comment Okay, I can redirect it to Hua Mulan easily enough.  My original intent was to do that after deletion in order to get rid of the copyvio part, which in this case comes to half of the content.  Does the uncertain copyright status of the English translation merit a revision to the history, or is it just not big enough a deal?  It is all over the web, so there is no one likely to sue anybody, but it is also unlikely to be public domain. If it's not a big deal that it's in the history, then this can be taken as a withdrawl from VfD.  --Diderot 10:06, 6 Apr 2005 (UTC)
 * Actually, it is important to get the copyvio out of history if at all possible. But that should be resolved through WP:CP, not VfD.  Rossami (talk) 22:15, 7 Apr 2005 (UTC)
