Here Comes the Bride[edit]

Tagged, not by me. I'm only listing it. Feel free to discuss this entry, one of various examples of works of art defined on Wiktionary. --Daniel. 22:49, 7 February 2011 (UTC)Reply

Delete including song titles, or in this case musical titles is a slippery slope. How is this better than Anna Karenin or Bad Romance? Mglovesfun (talk) 10:28, 8 February 2011 (UTC)Reply
The only difference that I can see is that this one is not the real title, only what people call it. SemperBlotto 10:30, 8 February 2011 (UTC)Reply

I didn't really feel like citing this but was just curious if there might be any good quotes on Google Books. Never mind that, no need. The first two pages were filled with books that have this exact title, some thirty books in all, variously subtitled. If not as a work of art, this phrase definitely has a special place in the English language. Strong keep. DAVilla 09:08, 9 February 2011 (UTC)Reply
True. Strong keep. --Daniel. 22:08, 14 February 2011 (UTC)Reply
Delete. Don't see how song titles belong here. Equinox 03:15, 11 February 2011 (UTC)Reply
FWIW, more often than not, Here Comes the Bride is not a song; it's just a melody. We have Chopsticks as another melody title.
We also have Marcha Real, God Save the Queen and O Canada, that are defined as national anthems. --Daniel. 22:24, 14 February 2011 (UTC)Reply
Yes, we have all kinds of junk that should go. Equinox 23:17, 14 February 2011 (UTC)Reply
Failed RFD. Two strong keeps to four five deletes seems rather close, but the keepers haven't explained why the title of a specific song, painting, video game, etc. should be permissible in a dictionary rather than an encyclopaedia. Equinox 22:11, 17 July 2011 (UTC)Reply
