The result wasspeedily deleted under A5. Natalie 21:29, 26 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

This is a last resort; anyways, what this page is various lyrics to the Soviet Anthem that are in other languages. Other than a note at the top of the page regarding the Belarusian lyrics, it has no other text but lyrics and a template. I have copied the text from this page to Wikisource, which can be seen at wikisource:National_Anthem_of_the_Soviet_Union. User:Zscout370 ^{(Return Fire)} 02:11, 26 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

• Weak Keep. hmmmm...I actually think that knowing one can find the lyrics to any song fits an encyclopedia and is of value. Renee 02:32, 26 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
• Merge to main Hymn of the Soviet Union page. There's no reason for a separate page for these. IT'S DA...Ανέκδοτο 02:41, 26 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • The English lyrics are already in the article, but what we have left is non-English lyrics for the anthem. User:Zscout370 ^{(Return Fire)} 03:38, 26 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
• Uh, isn't this what Wikisource does? Since it's already been transwiki'd, delete. humblefool® 03:59, 26 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete per WP:NOT#LYRICS and the TW is complete. There is a Wikisource template at the bottom of the article (although this is a case where I wish it could have a custom message, e.g. "lyrics in other languages"). --Dhartung | Talk 06:03, 26 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

• Comment OK, {{wikisourcehas}} does what's needed, and I have inserted it next to the paragraph that now holds a wikilink to this article. --Dhartung | Talk 06:19, 26 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • I added the current Wikisource link, out of full disclosure. User:Zscout370 ^{(Return Fire)} 06:47, 26 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

• Mr. T pities the fool who don't realize that transwiki'd articles are candidates for speedy deletion. Unless anyone has an objection? It's not a speedy slam dunk but it should be tried. Alba 14:36, 26 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
• Obvisouly either Keep or include in the main article, since all these versions are as official as the Russian one. Wikisource may be a good place for unofficial versions like the Hungarian or the German ones, but not for the Ukrainian or Estonian ones. --Explendido Rocha 14:40, 26 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • "Wikisource may be a good place for unofficial versions... but not for the Ukrainian or Estonian ones" -- where's that coming from??? --Ekjon Lok 18:06, 26 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
• An obvious, uncontroversial, speedy delete since the text already exists on Wikisource. --Ekjon Lok 18:04, 26 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
