Not likely to ever have reliable sources for the list of chants. Otherwise, it just duplicates information at 2011 Libyan protests. -- Selket Talk 08:41, 28 February 2011 (UTC)
- I'd be happy to invest more time into referencing news articles with video recordings in which these chants were gathered from if you feel that would be a sufficiently reliable source? Abdulrahmansalem (talk) 13:46, 28 February 2011 (UTC)
- Delete Of course I am rooting for the protesters, but this is just a collection of quotes. Even if every one was sourced it would not be a suitable premise for an encyclopedia article. Otherwise we could have lists of everything anyone was quoted as saying. Kitfoxxe (talk) 12:19, 28 February 2011 (UTC)
- Keep I'd have to disagree. This is a very notable event in history in which these freedom cries are echoing around the world. It is valuable to document the voices of the people during this turning point in history, and an encyclopedia seems like a very reasonable place to do so. People are looking for this information, and many have found this page to valuable already. Admittedly, I'm the creator of the article so have a vested interest in keeping it alive. I'd be happy to invest more time into referencing news articles with video recordings in which these chants were gathered from if you feel that would be a sufficiently reliable source. Or if you feel this page should be merged with other pages that is also reasonable, in my opinion. Abdulrahmansalem (talk) 13:45, 28 February 2011 (UTC)
- Keep While I agree that an encyclopedia is not the place for lists of quotes without foundation, this page chronicles the unified voice of a nation. These quotes should be chronicled in Libyan history just as other famous quotes and speeches are referenced on other historical pages linked to historical events. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 216.109.100.12 (talk) 18:31, 28 February 2011 (UTC)

- Delete or move to some other project, like WikiBooks or WikiSource. These are full-texts of songs and chants, and should not be on Wikipedia. 65.93.15.125 (talk) 05:41, 1 March 2011 (UTC)
