== Deletion rationale ==
 
As stated on the [[Talk:Hail the Conquering Dominion|talk page]] for the article, the statement by Bashir mentioning this song was sarcastic and not meant to be serious, and as such does not merit an article. At a minimum, it certainly is not a piece of Music or a real song.--[[User:31dot|31dot]] 00:25, 7 April 2008 (UTC)

Revision as of 15:08, 16 April 2008

Weak article, should this exist?

Do you think this is a real song (DS9: "Favor the Bold") or was Bashir being funny? Tough Little Ship 14:40, 27 Jul 2005 (UTC)

Just being funny (Clever Script writing, nothing more) Tobyk777 01:57, 3 Sep 2005 (UTC)
It seems incredibly unlikely that this song exists.
Weyoun states that he (and apparently all Vorta) lack a sense of aesthetics in the same episode, and by extension thinks "it might be nice to be able to carry a tune".
Neither the Founders nor the Jem'Hadar seem likely chorists, given the distaste of the former for the mundane forms of expression employed by the solids, and since the latter don't eat, sleep or smile, why on Donatu V would they sing?
I propose we remove this article as it is clearly a sarcastic reference to All Hail The Conquering Hero, and simply makes us all appear too literal inded to understand our own favourite TV show. Igotbit 22:48, 14 March 2007 (UTC)
I changed this page to make it a little clearer that Bashir was being flip by using this "song", but I wonder if it should stay that way, be changed back, or anything else.

I tend to agree with you. I'll support a deletion suggestion.--31dot 03:55, 29 March 2008 (UTC)
