[edit] Jesus of Suburbia

I have a feeling this will be judged a "keep", but this substub is very vague. Does it have to do with a song I found on Google, or is it just garbage? — Bill 18:58, 7 Oct 2004 (UTC)

• It appears to be about a song on Green Day's new album, American Idiot. I say redirect to the album, but I won't lose sleep over deletion. [[User:Meelar|Meelar (talk)]] 19:08, Oct 7, 2004 (UTC)
• Delete. We're not a song directory. Such a thing would be ugly to create, even outside of Wikipedia. --Improv 19:23, 7 Oct 2004 (UTC)
• Redirect. [[User:Poccil|Peter O. (Talk)]] 21:59, Oct 7, 2004 (UTC)
• Merge/Redirect to American Idiot. (Both a song on the album, and a major character in the story) —siroχo 23:39, Oct 7, 2004 (UTC)
• Delete: It's a play on The Buddha of Suburbia, and we're not a song catalog. No redirect, because the chances of someone searching this way and wanting the album (instead of the novel). If they are searching for the song, then they need to learn that we're not a song guide. Geogre 13:45, 9 Oct 2004 (UTC)
• Delete: I created the Story section of the [[American Idiot]] for this very purpose... the character is already described on there.

• Redirect, so people looking for information on Jesus of Suburbia can find it. Kappa 10:10, 6 Feb 2005 (UTC)
• Delete as fancruft. Martg76 15:47, 6 Feb 2005 (UTC)
• Merge and redirect to American Idiot. Greenday's American Idiot album is a theme album telling the story of this character, i.e. all songs have to do with him in some way. Therefore this is not a song, but a character for a series of song. JoaoRicardo 20:04, 6 Feb 2005 (UTC)
• Merge/redirect. Samaritan 00:58, 7 Feb 2005 (UTC)
• Delete, Wikipedia is not a song database. Megan1967 01:27, 7 Feb 2005 (UTC)
• Delete --nixie 02:32, 7 Feb 2005 (UTC)
• Merge and Redirect to American Idiot. It is a notable track and suite of tracks on the album as well as the core concept of the album. Capitalistroadster 08:55, 7 Feb 2005 (UTC)
• AFAIK, a song has to be exceptionally notable to merit an encyclopedia entry of its own. This isn't. Redirect to American Idiot. Bearcat 07:17, 8 Feb 2005 (UTC)
  • Comment. Allow me to point it out that this is not a song, but a character in an album. JoaoRicardo 12:17, 10 Feb 2005 (UTC)
• Redirect to American Idiot. Redirects are cheap. — Gwalla | Talk 04:44, 11 Feb 2005 (UTC)
