• This AfD nomination was incomplete. It is listed now. DumbBOT 13:39, 12 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep and send to cleanup - badly written article on a very notable song recorded by hundreds of notable performers, including Coltrane, Sinatra, Garland, Rickie Lee Jones, Miles Davis, the Monkees, Joe Cocker, Keith Jarrett, etc. It was in the Top 20 most requested songs of the year in 1926 (at No. 16)[1]; John Coltrane won a 1981 Grammy Award for Best Jazz Instrumental Performance, Soloist with the song[2]. --Charlene 14:39, 12 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep Very notable frequently recorded song. Comment: in what year do the 1926 lyrics become public domain, so they can be included in the article, or can the lyrics be included now as analysis and criticism can be a fair use?Edison 14:55, 12 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
• Comment I've removed unreferenced original research ("I spoke to so-and-so") and added references and information. --Charlene 14:57, 12 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep sourced, encyclopaedic. I assume the article looked very different when it was nominated. Right now delete is just nuts... WilyD 15:14, 12 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
• Strong keep the current version. Apparently a jazz standard. - Smerdis of Tlön 15:31, 12 January 2007 (UTC)\[reply]
• Speedy Keep. Written poorly, but easily passes

• Keep Notable song, still fairly well-known after more than 75 years, subject of a Straight Dope article... which isn't a claim to notability but uite interesting. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 17:39, 12 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep Still a stub, but very well known in multiple venues.

• Keep as a notable song, but remove lyrics since I believe that violates copyright law. Yamaguchi先生 03:10, 13 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Never mind, this song is old enough that it is in the public domain, correct? Yamaguchi先生 03:11, 13 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
    • I've actually removed the lyrics. And no, they're not in the public domain. The cutoff date for works published in the United States is December 31, 1922 - anything published after that date is under copyright. --Charlene 10:23, 13 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
