Wikipedia talk:Articles for deletion/Roundel: The little eyes that never knew Light

This article is one of a series I have introduced providing information and the words of the songs of the English composer Edward Elgar.

This particular article differs in form very little from similar others I have started and I do not see why it is a candidate for deletion.

It is linked to from the wikipedia article "Elgar".

I welcome any constructive information on any point you have to make which would bring the article to the stardard required. Please give me some time too.

Thanks for your consideration.

A Google search on "Roundel: The little eyes that never knew Light" reveals below the underlined heading "...Main Performer: Sir Edward Elgar..." which is nonsense, or misleading to say the least. Going into this website it can been seen that it is about a Classical Album titled "The Unknown Elgar" in which this song, among others was composed by Sir Edward Elgar and is in fact performed by Teresa Cahill (soprano) and Barry Collett (piano).

Please do not call it not noteworthy because it was unpublished at the time or because you do not like the music - those aspects do not necessarily make a work not noteworthy. It is an important (and by many considered beautiful) song by Edward Elgar, an important English composer, which as part of his legacy should be listed in wikipedia alongside Elgar's other songs. Also noteworthy is the poem itself and its form, a Roundel by poet A. C. Swinburne.
