Flag of the Southern Cross[edit]

Quoting WP:FICTION: "The single most important rule about coverage of fiction on Wikipedia is that fiction is covered as a cultural artifact in the real world. We are primarily interested not in things that happened to imaginary people, but rather in the social impact that given works of fiction have - whether that impact be direct, cultural, or artistic. All aspects of an article on fiction must work to establish real-world importance, or to provide appropriate context for understanding real-world importance. Those that do not should be removed." This article clearly fails because it is only the poem. I42 (talk) 19:06, 25 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Transwiki to Wikisource because the poem appears to be out of copyright, and Wikisource has other works by this author but not this particular one. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 19:14, 25 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Keep after a rewrite. A notable work by one of Australia's most renowned poets, Henry Lawson. The poem itself should be taken to Wikisource. -- Mattinbgn\^talk 02:48, 26 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Comment started a rewrite. For the information of others, the article looked like this when it was nominated. -- Mattinbgn\^talk 03:05, 26 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Keep per Mattinbgn. Rebecca (talk) 06:34, 26 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
