[edit] Scotty Doesn't Know (Song)

PRODed, but tag was removed. It's the theme song for the teen movie Eurotrip and is more properly covered under the article for the movie. This song needs the context of the article to be meaningful. Does not meet notability criteria under Wikipedia:WikiProject Music/Notability and Music Guidelines/Songs Brian G. Crawford 19:13, 17 March 2006 (UTC)

• Delete. nn song, unlikely search term for a redirect. I just created Scotty Doesn't Know as a redirect to Eurotrip for those that are concerned that someone may search for the song. youngamerican (talk) 19:19, 17 March 2006 (UTC)
• Keep, I removed the prod because it's a notable song from a notable movie by a notable band, Lustra. The article is better off expanded than deleted. Furthermore, the Songs "guidelines" are not guidelines at all yet, the proposal is still being discussed, and would probably fit under #10 anyway, as it should apply to movies as well. --badlydrawnjeff (WP:MEME?) 19:22, 17 March 2006 (UTC)
• Keep, unfortunately I saw this movie and I can testify that this particularly irritating song is one of the few things about it you will remember two years later. David Sneek 19:35, 17 March 2006 (UTC)
• Comment. If kept, I would support a move to Scotty Doesn't Know, since the (song) part of this article is likely unneccesary. youngamerican (talk) 05:43, 18 March 2006 (UTC)
  • Seconded. --badlydrawnjeff (WP:MEME?) 13:38, 18 March 2006 (UTC)
• Keep and expand based on arguments above and shenanigans with the redirect. -- JJay 12:00, 18 March 2006 (UTC)
• Merge/redirect into Eurotrip. Walter Siegmund (talk) 05:20, 21 March 2006 (UTC)
• Merge/redirect into Eurotrip, it makes much more sense to give it a section in that article. Don't get me wrong, I love Eurotrip and this song, and often sing it with friends when we're drunk. But it is inexorably attached to Eurotrip, and doesn't make much sense outside of the context of that movie, despite the fact that it's very memorable and a rather catchy song. -Eisnel 08:59, 23 March 2006 (UTC)
• Comment, Scotty Doesn't Know is certainly a well known song and important part of the movie Eurotrip. It has 255000 google hits, and is by a notable band Lustra. It is also perhaps their most famous song, at least according to the band page. The notability is, in my opinion, beyond question. However, the question arises as to whether there is enough content to justify an article independent from Lustra and Eurotrip. Still, I repeat, this song is absolutely notable, period. If the article is expanded a bit, I'll vote super ultra strong keep, but I can't do that until the content is a wee bit better. Cool3 21:20, 23 March 2006 (UTC)
