I've got a lovely bunch of coconuts

I don't think this article is sutable for an encyclopedia. I wish to Delete it Exir Kamalabadi | Contributions 08:20, July 21, 2005 (UTC)

Keep. Very well known song although the lyrics should be deleted. Capitalistroadster 08:33, 21 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Keep as per above. Hamster Sandwich 09:15, 21 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Comment. I have now cleaned up the article adding a reference to Magical Mystery Tour and deleting the lyrics. No change of vote from keep. Capitalistroadster 10:20, 21 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Keep I guess. I was surprised to find there was already an article on this song when writing coconut shy article. I don't have a sense of where the usual cutoff for including songs is. I wouldn't have thought this one was a particularly significant, but then again there seems to be connections to it from a number of different directions. -- Solipsist 12:02, 21 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Notable song. I see no reason why this isn't suitable for an encyclopedia. 23skidoo 14:16, 21 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Clean-up. This is definitely encyclopedic. -snarfle.- Thorns Among Our Leaves 17:04, 21 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Keep I cleaned it up a bit. Once the VfD process is over (assuming it's kept), the article should be moved to I've Got a Lovely Bunch of Coconuts. --FuriousFreddy 18:55, 21 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Keep as others above --Yondir 20:17, 21 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Keep the cleaned version. Notable song. Exir, please note that Wikipedia has wider inclusion criteria than regular encyclopedias. - Mgm|^(talk) 21:22, July 21, 2005 (UTC)
Keep. Notable, verifiable, well-written. -Willmcw 23:44, July 21, 2005 (UTC)
Keep It's not only a song, it's also a phrase/saying. Either way, I see no reason for it not to be kept. TheBeansprout 23:50, 21 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. Major hit in its time, stuck in the mind of everyone who ever heard it, well remembered today, significant cultural reference. Is it properly spelled "lovely" or "loverly?" Danny Kaye pronounced it something like love-a-ly, definitely three syllables. (trot to CD cabinet) My copy of a net-very-authoritative CD says "lovely." Singing roll-er-bowl-a-ball-a-penny-a-pitch! Well, that's done it—it's going to be going through my head for the rest of the evening. Danny Kaye couldn't possibly have been the first to have recorded it, could he?

Speedy Keep. This song was a top 40 in the 40s, and has been played since. That's because even 60 years later, you can't get it out of your head. My vote is for a Speedy Keep because there hasn't been a single vote to delete in over ten votes. Almafeta 02:38, 22 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Keep (sheep) (It rhymes) --SockpuppetSamuelson 07:37, 22 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Keep but move to proper capitalization. Especially since if this is deleted it will only be recreated using the awful songstub template. -R. fiend 15:25, 22 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Keep I'll take "signs that VfD has gone too far" for 500, Alex CanadianCaesar 23:32, 22 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Informative article. I can envision someone looking up novelty songs in Wikipedia. I often look up all kinds of historic media in Wikipedia. WpZurp 16:50, 25 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]
