Anthem
Notability dubious, quotability nonexistent. It's just this side of patent nonsense. 121a0012 04:42, 4 September 2006 (UTC)


 * Vote closed. Result: delete (5 deletes, incl. 1 implicit; no dissent). Even though I've found its likely origin (see comment below), so little interest was shown in this article that it might as well be started from scratch by an editor who cares about the subject. ~ Jeff Q (talk) 06:07, 18 September 2006 (UTC)

 * Delete. ~ UDScott 20:45, 4 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete, though I am curious about what connection, if any, exists between the title and the quote. &mdash;LrdChaos 15:03, 5 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete. I'd guess "Anthem" is the name of some creative work that is being quoted. I couldn't dig up any indication of the actual connection from Google, IMDb, or lyrics websites. The anon user appears to be from India (based on WP edits), so the source may be too obscure for Western-biased info sources. ~ Jeff Q (talk) 22:03, 6 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Comment: I don't know about anyone else, but I'm quite embarrassed by my incomplete deduction above. As I was cleaning up links to to-be-deleted articles, I discovered what this article may have been intended for — Anthem, a novella by Ayn Rand. There is a link in the Rand article that may have inspired the creation of this empty article. It doesn't change the result, but now I realize one thing we don't commonly do to research the meaning of some articles: check the "What links here" to see how it might have come into being. (We typically catch this only during or after closures.) ~ Jeff Q (talk) 06:07, 18 September 2006 (UTC)
