[edit] The Meth Song

The Meth Song (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) (delete) – (View log)

This PSA does not meet notability requirements. It shows up on a few video-sharing sites, but there's no citable information about it available online. We can't have a page for every funny video on YouTube. Alvis (talk) 03:28, 15 March 2008 (UTC)

  • Delete. Makes some claims that would be hard to source, and doesn't start out with any. Searching doesn't help. --Dhartung | Talk 06:54, 15 March 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete Non-notable PSA. Not trying to go WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS here, but I can understand having articles for the Crying Indian and I learned it by watching you because they have had an impact on pop-culture, but this one hasn't had any impact as far as I can tell. Also issues of the article being unsourced, and we should not be linking to Youtube under any circumstances. Mister Senseless™ (Speak - Contributions) 16:12, 15 March 2008 (UTC)
  • Merge with Tobacco smoking or some anti-smoking articles , nice song indeed , delete is unwise .Pearll's sun (talk) 01:33, 21 March 2008 (UTC)
    • Comment What? WHY? It has nothing to do with nicotine use. Whether or not it's a "nice song" has nothing to do with its notability. Alvis (talk) 05:24, 26 March 2008 (UTC)
Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so that consensus may be reached.

  • Delete This is the first time I've ever seen this ad, and I watch almost every PSA possible. Very questionable that this ad has any notability. Nate • (chatter) 03:22, 21 March 2008 (UTC)
  • Comment I do remember this ad, it was definitely on TV in the 90s. I'm not sure if there's a good source for that though. JoeD80 (talk) 22:43, 21 March 2008 (UTC)
    • Comment I do too; at least I did after watching it again (lyrics alone didn't trigger any memories). But just because we remember seeing it once or twice doesn't mean there should be an article for it. Wiki's not an archive for every bit of propaganda ever made. There are no good citations available, and it's clearly NOT a "cult classic" like the article claims; that'd be a whole different story ("I learned it by watching you" et al).
