Yep, already knocked it off the list. I'm more concerned about the song's notability -- has it made it onto any music charts or won any awards? PranksterTurtle (talk) 23:16, 7 May 2008 (UTC)

I respectfully point out that this is a very famous children's hymn written in 1868 and has certainly endured longer than many recently composed material for which specific articles can be found on Wikipedia. A Google search returned 7,130 results the significance of which I am not competent to quantify further. Mike hayes (talk) 23:43, 7 May 2008 (UTC)

Can you add any other information as to why it's notable, though? Otherwise, I can't see this growing beyond a stub with lyrics. Please see the notability guidelines for songs. PranksterTurtle (talk) 00:06, 8 May 2008 (UTC)
