[edit] Amphetamine in popular culture

Amphetamine in popular culture (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

Another indiscriminate "pop culture" spinoff article. Nothing but a list of every time this particular drug is mentioned in some obscure song or movie; plenty of OR and entries of questionable notability.

I am also nominating the following nearly identical pages for the same reason:

Benzedrine in popular culture (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs)

Dextroamphetamine in popular culture (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs)

• Delete Most of these examples aren't even significant to the works in question. Croxley 01:36, 24 March 2007 (UTC)
• Delete all - per nom. Strongly oppose any suggestion that any of this stuff be merged into the articles on the various drugs. Otto4711 01:59, 24 March 2007 (UTC)

• Delete all per Otto4711. Scienter 04:43, 24 March 2007 (UTC)
• Delete. "Indie Rock singer-songwriter Elliott Smith mentions Amphetamine use in a song titled "St. Ides Heaven" from his self titled album." You don't say? Some of these "in popular culture" articles are useful, but this certainly isn't one of them. Lankiveil 04:46, 24 March 2007 (UTC).
• Delete all. Listcruft, or listcrud, whatever. Realkyhick 06:21, 24 March 2007 (UTC)

• Delete, if Kept or Deleted definitely No merge. - Francis Tyers · 12:08, 25 March 2007 (UTC)
• Delete although this is often the case for the "x in popular culture" articles, these are obviously hiding their true title which should be "stuff about drug x we don't want to keep in the main article but don't really want to delete because some editors will keep adding it back". Actually, I firmly believe that as the quality of articles grows, people will give more and more second thought about adding a trivial reference to their favorite drug user in an otherwise perfectly encyclopedic article.
