Un canadien errant[edit]

Move to Wikisource. RickK 07:13, Feb 12, 2005 (UTC)

  • Encyclopedic. I think inclusion of the (short, public domain) lyrics of an historic patriotic song about which an article is encyclopedic is fair enough. I'm going to wikify and expand to include the Leonard Cohen cover and any other notable use I can find. Keep. Samaritan 14:08, 12 Feb 2005 (UTC)
  • With today's server problems, my entire rewrite was lost. It was quite extensive. I'll do it all again when the servers are not so touch and go. Samaritan 19:48, 12 Feb 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep. Based on Samaritan's references, it is a notable Canadian song written in 1838 about a notable event in that nation's history. It has versions sung by notable musicians such as Leonard Cohen and Nana Mouskouri. Looking forward to Samaritan's articleCapitalistroadster 00:23, 13 Feb 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete, Wikipedia is not a lyrics database. Megan1967 01:27, 13 Feb 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep. This song is historically significant in Quebec. CJCurrie 02:24, 13 Feb 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep. —Mar·ka·ci:2005-02-13 02:28 Z
  • Notable song, but it's been pretty clearly established that Wikipedia isn't really for song lyrics. Move the lyrics to wikisource, but keep and expand the informational part. Bearcat 06:54, 13 Feb 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep, clearly a suitable article topic. I see that the lyrics are now simply gone, with no link to Wikisource. They should end up on Wikisource someplace, public domain and significant. -- Jmabel | Talk 06:48, Feb 14, 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep based on historical significance. kevintoronto Feb 15, 2005
