The listing is simply the name and composer/composition date of the song, along with the lyrics. This would probably be better at Wikisource, provided they except songs. It's not really an encyclopedia article, and not particularly encyclopedic. Essjay · Talk 12:19, July 17, 2005 (UTC)
- Delete
Article is a source text,not an encyclopedia article.Transwiki to Wikisource if they accept songs, if not, delete. There are other lyrics sites out there.-- Essjay · Talk 12:19, July 17, 2005 (UTC) My delete vote stands after reviewing the rewrite. The information in the article could easily be inserted in the Wikisource entry; an encyclopedia entry should do more than say who wrote it and when. -- Essjay · Talk 15:21, July 17, 2005 (UTC) - Transwiki if appropriate, otherwise, Delete. --Blu Aardvark | (talk) | (contribs) 12:21, 17 July 2005 (UTC)
- Transwiki to wikisource. Dunc|☺ 12:55, 17 July 2005 (UTC)
- Please check Wikisource before nominating things to be transwikied. Wikisource already has Christ the Lord Is Risen Today and most of the other hymns written by Charles Wesley. I've removed the primary source text from the article and replaced it with an interwiki link, just as was suggested in the VFD discussion of another hymn by Charles Wesley, "Love Divine, All Loves Excelling". (The discussion is at Talk:Love Divine, All Loves Excelling.) Please re-read the article and consider other courses of action. Uncle G 13:33, 17 July 2005 (UTC)
- Keep the rewritten stub. Notable hymn. Pburka 15:02, 17 July 2005 (UTC)
- Keep. Gamaliel 15:18, 17 July 2005 (UTC)
- Keep and expand. Well-known hymn.Capitalistroadster 16:51, 17 July 2005 (UTC)
- Keep. And, er, thanks for getting it stuck in my head. This is a major hymn. Jesus Christ is Risen Today should be made as a redirect if this survives. -Aranel ("Sarah") 17:22, 17 July 2005 (UTC)
- You're welcome. : - ) I realize it's a major hymn; I sang for three different churches last Easter and it was used at all three. My question is: Is it something to be included in an encyclopedia?
