I have already transferred much of this content to the Chinese Wikisource, which is a place more appropriate for it (see zh:s:Special:用户贡献/TheChampionMan1234 Most of it is not in English and thus not useful for people that do not understand Chinese The ChampionMan 1234 21:38, 7 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Well, even if the lyrics are transferred to Wikisource, wouldn't the topic still be notable? There is no necessary reason to delete the actual article, since a summary explaining the topic is still needed on Wikipedia. If the musical piece was used during the 1984 Summer Olympics to represent both the PRC and the ROC, then surely that would make it a notable topic? Even if it remains a stub, an article is an article, and there is no deadline for it to be expanded; having a significant portion of the article moved to a different project isn't really grounds for deletion here since it doesn't change the notability of the topic, but only the content within the article. Hence, I'm suggesting that we move lyrics to Wikisource, keep summary on Wikipedia. --benlisquare_T•C•E 03:58, 8 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Keep As Benlisquare says, undoubtedly a notable topic either as it stands or with the lyrics moved and linked at Wikisource. ► Philg88 ◄ ^♦talk 07:56, 8 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Keep per Benlisquare. There are many articles on military anthems which are considered as notable even if their lyrics are not presented in the article. It seems very likely that a country with a large and historically significant military would have a notable military anthem. - WPGA2345 - ☛ 01:51, 14 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Keep as others have said, the lead of the article makes a reasonable, notable, stub even if the Chinese lyrics and transliterations are cut off. Rincewind42 (talk) 03:35, 14 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]
