***Comment: It would need a 3-way disambig, it's also the name of track 8 on [[Harvest (1972 album)]], which IMO wouldn't qualify for its own article but which got a lot of airplay and people will search for it. No change of vote. [[User:Andrewa|Andrewa]] 19:37, 31 Dec 2004 (UTC) |

Revision as of 19:37, 31 December 2004
This is more suited to Wikisource. This is a "Mere [collection] of public domain or other source material," which is What Wikipedia is not. 24.60.189.129 05:08, 30 Dec 2004 (UTC)
- Keep, but transwiki the lyrics to Wikisource, indeed. James F. (talk) 05:33, 30 Dec 2004 (UTC)
- Keep, move to Wikisource. - Amgine 06:16, 30 Dec 2004 (UTC)
- Keep, move lyrics to Wikisource, if it would not be a copyvio. Mikkalai 07:10, 30 Dec 2004 (UTC)
- Merge with Alabama and trim to omit lyrics --Tony Sidaway|Talk 12:52, 30 Dec 2004 (UTC)
- Keep. Already a good stub, with a stub notice. As for the lyrics, we have them for many national anthems, including Advance Australia Fair (two versions), La Marseillaise and The Star Spangled Banner. So why not state songs? Alabama is bigger than some countries (although not those three). Andrewa 13:09, 30 Dec 2004 (UTC)
- Keep There is a Category:U.S. state songs that is collecting the lyrics to all the official state songs, which seems worthwhile. Sortior 19:59, Dec 30, 2004 (UTC)
- Delete. Megan1967 01:26, 31 Dec 2004 (UTC)
- Weak keep. Transwiki the lyrics to Wikisource. And write an article on Alabama song (song): "Oh, show us, the way to the next whiskey-bar/Oh, don't ask why/Oh don't ask why/For we must find the next whiskey-bar/For if we don't find the next whiskey-bar/I tell you we must die/I tell you we must die/I tell you, I tell you, I tell you we must die!/Oh moon of Alabama/We now must say goodbye/We've lost our good old Mama/And must have whiskey, oh you know why." Dpbsmith (talk) 02:35, 31 Dec 2004 (UTC)
- This may be the first time I've seen a likely copyvio in a VfD discussion. But, yes, that song does deserve an article, although Alabama Song will do for an article name. -- Jmabel | Talk 08:10, Dec 31, 2004 (UTC)
