Contested prod by tag removal, but no explanation given. WP is not a collection of indiscriminate information, including song lyrics per WP:NOT#LYRICS The lyrics are also likely copyrighted, but their copyright status and verifiability are difficult to establish since as far as I can tell they are not available on the web.

- Comment: if the song is a traditional one as stated, I'm not surprised not to see it on the web. In that case, however, the lyrics might not be copyrighted. We clearly need input from New Zealanders with access to relevant books. - Mgm|(talk) 14:51, 18 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Good idea. I have left a message on the NZ noticeboard. --Slp1 (talk) 20:41, 18 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

- Delete Regardless of content (and I as a New Zealander don't recognise this song as anything significant), as noted it fails the WP:NOT#LYRICS test: "the article may not consist solely of the lyrics, but has to primarily contain information about authorship, date of publication, social impact, etc." kabl00ey (talk) 10:26, 19 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
