Talk:Surudi milli

From VfD:

Foreign language article. - UtherSRG

Judging from "What links here", this is apparently the national anthem of Tajikistan. Unfortunately, my Tajik is a bit rusty, and the page needs formatting as well as context and an English translation, but it "belongs" and should be kept. Smerdis of Tlön 13:49, 26 Jul 2004 (UTC)
I've added a few extra details I've managed to glean from google searches, but nowhere appears to have the English translation. Might mean an email to the Tajik Embassy in London, which I'm happy to do myself. In the meantime, a very strong KEEP. -- Graham ☺ | Talk 15:48, 26 Jul 2004 (UTC)
- Though sod's law reared its ugly head in my direction and there isn't actually an embassy for Tajikistan in the UK... So I've emailed the one in the US instead! Watch this space for response... -- Graham ☺ | Talk 16:02, 26 Jul 2004 (UTC)
comment: surely this is a candidate for the {{notenglish}} procedure? I.e. listed for two weeks as needing translation before being summarily executed. Ianb 18:50, 26 Jul 2004 (UTC)
- Even if it was, is it likely that within two weeks someone who speaks Tajik is likely to stumble upon it by chance? -- Graham ☺ | Talk 20:59, 26 Jul 2004 (UTC)
  - Good question. I was just worried about the sky falling down if correct procedure is not followed ;-). I do think a vfd listing is quite an effective way of perfoming Darwinian selection on doubtful articles though. Ianb 21:55, 26 Jul 2004 (UTC)
Keep as we now know what it is. Ianb 21:55, 26 Jul 2004 (UTC)

http://www.times.kg/country_guide/?D=kz&pub=kz001#anthem gives entirely different information on authorship: "The authors are poets Muzafar Alimbayev, Kadyr Myrzaliyev, Tumanbai Moldagaliyev and Zhadyra Daribayeva and composers Mukan Tulebayev, Eugeny Brusilovsky and Latif Khamidi." Since our current statement is uncited, I'm inclined to believe that site, but I figured I'd first put this up here to see if someone else knows more. -- Jmabel | Talk 07:34, Dec 7, 2004 (UTC) Never mind. Someone added a link to a translation of the wrong country's anthem! I'll fix it. -- Jmabel | Talk 07:36, Dec 7, 2004 (UTC)
