Support As per my comments elsewhere about national anthems. Ben (Major Bloodnok) (talk) 20:05, 27 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Support.Oppose, but with work would change. I like the music and recording and think anthems are important almost intrinsically. I think these files should be in other articles (at least the country artilces, perhaps others like composer or the like). If you can do some (justified) work to fill out the article, usage, I would then support (you can even change the vote yourself).TCO (reviews needed) 02:04, 18 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Strong oppose. Please, no more extremely ordinary hymns-as-national-anthems, just because they're well-played by the US Navy Band: this is becoming ridiculous. Both fail Criteria 2 ("the content of the recording is notable in some way"). Oh, and just as an example, the Micronesia track has parallel fifths between the treble and bass lines at 7 seconds. OMG.

This is in the discretionary zone (2 net supports counting TCO, 1 net support if you don't). After reading the discussion, no one has stated any reason why this should be a FS. I am going to reject this file and not promote it. If you have an issue with this closing you can appeal it to myself or MOX.--Guerillero | My Talk 02:48, 19 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
