Would you die for me?
Just a stubby set of lines apparently from the song "Join Me in Death" by Finnish alt-rock band HIM. Song articles don't work at Wikiquote because they can't ever be more than stubs without becoming copyvios or complete listings. This could be made a band stub for HIM, merged into Lyrics, or just deleted. ~ Jeff Q (talk) 04:33, 21 April 2006 (UTC)
 * Vote closed. Result: merge with Lyrics (4 Merge-or-Moves to band; original editor repeated cited for useless stub creation, suggesting no likelihood of band-article expansion). We have a new problem, though, from a situation I failed to notice earlier. This article title is now a redirect to an unobvious theme article, from a title that isn't even the correct title of the song, whose contents weren't even the correct lyrics. This is a real mess, created by someone who seems to specialize in creating messes here at Wikiquote. Unless there are objections, I plan to tag this illogical redirect for speedy deletion soon. (I've already posted a note to the creator, who is the only person likely to be affected by the deletion.) ~ Jeff Q (talk) 04:57, 8 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Speedy deleted illogical redirect, per above. ~ Jeff Q (talk) 19:22, 11 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Merge into Lyrics, unless someone shows interest in making this a HIM stub. "Lyrics" is our current catch-all for anything by artists too obscure or insufficiently popular with the WQ community for an editor to make even a decent stub. Regardless of the fate of the content, delete this misleading article title. ~ Jeff Q (talk) 04:33, 21 April 2006 (UTC)
 * Merge into Lyrics or into an article for the band (if created). ~ UDScott 12:34, 21 April 2006 (UTC)
 * Preserve in some form or other. Merge to Lyrics or create a proper band-stub. HIM is surely widely known enough to have presence in WQ, if only enough quotes can be found. jni 12:44, 21 April 2006 (UTC)
 * Merge to Lyrics or a page for the band. &mdash;LrdChaos 15:08, 21 April 2006 (UTC)
