AfDs for this article: 
 * – (View AfD) (View log)

trivial and unreferenced. Another WP:POPCULTURE article like the first AfD ~   Wi ki  her mit  02:39, 4 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete on the grounds that the topic (that is, the appearance of the name 'Beelzebub' in anything and everything and NOT the mythological figure Beelzebub) lacks notability. CaveatLectorTalk 04:56, 4 August 2007 (UTC)

 * Delete If you merge this into Beelzebub (disambiguation), what then? Are disambiguation pages supposed to contain text in addition to the navigation?  I can't tell whether the characters in the classy literature are intended to be the "real" Beelzebub, or someone with that name.  My favorite pop culture reference, however, is that Dan Aykroyd got really mad at a producer on SNL named Rick, so he spray painted a bunch of curses on the wall, including "You are BEEZELBUB, Rick!"  I'm not dyslexic, but I had always misread it, misspelled it and mispronounced it as "Bee-Zul-Bub" and it was a surprise to learn from Queen that it was "bee-ELL-ze-bub".

 * Comment - awesome vote, I used to think it was pronounced that way too. &larr;BenB4 09:48, 6 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete and Very strongly oppose merge. The content at Beelzebub (disambiguation) is already what is appropriate to be there, and it would be a poor idea to merge any of this there.  What's worse, having "Beelzebub in popular culture" point to a legitimate disambiguation page will only encourage the kind of decay that took place here before, and I'd like to point out that the merge comments are just votes with no justification for their positions.  For those not familiar, this actually used to be a disambiguation page, until it degenerated into a trivia page.  It was then renamed to the current title, something I agreed with at the time but much regret now.  This article does not have any value, and I am one of the editors constantly having to clean up even more trivial additions to it.  CaveatLector is right: the topic is not notable, no one writes about this topic in reliable sources (or, probably, at all).  Mango juice talk 15:57, 6 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Merge to Beelzebub (disambiguation). And redirect. Mathmo Talk 22:01, 7 August 2007 (UTC)
