We Say Mabuhay edit

Created by Chetsford (talk). Self-nominated at 20:10, 30 June 2018 (UTC).

  • New enough, as nomination was created the day of article creation. Article size of 2.1k exceeds the 1.5k requirement. Article is written in a neutral manner, and all sentences are supported by an inline citation. The lyrics may be a copyvio, because I can not find when the lyricist died (copyright in The Philippines if within the last 50 years), and the lyrics are probably copyright in the United States since they were published subsequent to 1923. If you have reason to believe the lyrics are in public domain in both the Philippines and the US, please let me know. The lyrics do not count words the article size, so that would not be affected if removed. No other paraphrasing or copyvio issues detected. The hook is within format, and I found it compelling. I am accepting on good faith that the hook is attributable to the offline Rockell (2013) citation, because it isn't in the 2017 Star citation. QPQ complete. No image to check against. Aside from the lyrics issue, this is ready for mainpage exposure. 78.26 (spin me / revolutions) 20:48, 3 July 2018 (UTC)
78.26 - thanks for the review. On further investigation I don't believe the lyrics are public domain. There were several generations of Tirso Cruz and, in drafting the article, I seem to have identified the wrong one so the correct death date would not put these in the public domain. I've removed them from the article. Chetsford (talk) 07:28, 4 July 2018 (UTC)
