This article was {{prod}} because "Insufficient quotability", and the tag was removed with the comment "seems OK". As remarked on the article talk page, this is a trivial adaptation of a famous work, and is not itself a sufficiently notable literary work for a standalone article. I recommend against merging it to the Wikipedia article because the adaptation is not sufficiently original to be really quoteworthy, and because it is not our custom to quote company websites or Mediawiki essays unless the quote has considerable currency in secondary sources. (Nor would it be appropriate for the Ward Cunningham article because authorship is anonymous: the version on his company website is a prayer to him rather than from him.) — Ningauble (talk) 16:30, 13 July 2012 (UTC)reply

- Delete. Cute sentiment, but not a notable quote. BD2412 T 23:20, 13 July 2012 (UTC)reply
- Keep in some form Google Books shows three published books that quote this. I agree that it may not be worth its own article, but it ought to be somewhere here.--Collingwood (talk) 06:14, 14 July 2012 (UTC)reply
- Delete - the reproduction of the entire prayer is outside the scope of Wikiquote. It may be within the scope of Wikisource, but it is presumably copyrighted and therefore we cannot transwiki it, quotability (and my original prod rationale) aside. --User:Tryst (talk to me!) 21:41, 15 July 2012 (UTC)reply
