File:God Defend New Zealand instrumental.ogg

The national anthem of the nation of New Zealand, as performed by the United States Navy.

The national anthem of New Zealand, a well composed piece with no quality issues and high EV to the article God Defend New Zealand. Probably could also be added into the article for New Zealand too. Created by the U.S. Navy.

~~Support~~ (see convo below) Excellent quality and supports the article very well. Jujutacular ^T · C 18:37, 26 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Comment Are we sure on the freedom of this file? Definitely good quality, but the source reads: "The music files on this website are intended for official use by Department of Defense and U.S. government offices only. Exceptions to this policy will be considered on a case-by-case basis." If it's PD it's PD, but that doesn't seem like what you'd say for a PD file.

I'm guessing that depends on if this qualifies as a "work of the federal government" (See WP:PD#U.S. government works). It's not exactly clear. Jujutacular ^T · C 06:34, 28 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

My opinion is that the navy is the navy. It was made by the navy, so its PD. Nezzadar [SPEAK] 22:34, 28 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Unless I see good argument otherwise, I'd have to agree with Nezzadar. Under "Feedback" at the Navy site [1] there is an email listed. Maybe we should enquire at WP:OTRS? Jujutacular ^T · C 23:38, 28 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Hosted on the Navy site does not equal created by the Navy. That page does not say it was performed by the Navy band. It's only PD-Navy if produced by Navy members in performance of their duties. Staxringold _talk^contribs 20:54, 29 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Hadn't even occurred to me, good catch. Unless we can confirm it was recorded by the navy, I don't think we can promote this. Jujutacular ^T · C 22:20, 29 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I have email confirmation that these are made by the US Navy Band and that they are in the public domain. I sent that email to OTRS and it at ticket number 2009102710061312. User:Zscout370 ^{(Return Fire)} 04:07, 5 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Support Neat then. Staxringold _talk^contribs 23:55, 3 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Support, given the confirmation. I've added this confirmation to the file description page. Jujutacular ^T · C 00:06, 4 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Support as the uploader. User:Zscout370 ^{(Return Fire)} 00:14, 4 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Support, any reason why this can't be closed as successful? Bencherlite ^Talk 22:31, 22 June 2010 (UTC) Struck; if I had know that it was open to me to promote, I would have done so[reply]
