Letterbomb
Unnotable song. Not common Wiki practice to have articles for every song on an album. Also, the letterbomb (device) article is being pushed aside when it has more revelance. Gold Stur 02:50, 26 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Merge anything verifiable and useful to American Idiot (album). Use the letterbomb page as a redirect to mailbomb. I will change the letterbomb (device) page to one now. GassyGuy 03:35, 26 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete and merge informative parts with American Idiot (album). Psychomelodic 14:08, 26 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Merge if there be anything worth merging Lurker  say/said 15:19, 26 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep without merge American Idiot was one of the most notable albums of 2004/2005, and for other albums of similar note (How to Dismantle an Atomic Bomb, All That You Can't Leave Behind, just from the Grammy Award for Best Rock Album list) a common practice is to split out the songs from the main article; for an average, run of the mill album I would agree with nom, but for albums considered to be groundbreaking/of great note I disagree with his reasoning. Right now the American Idiot album page needs to have material merged out, not in. This article has been on my mental "to-do" list for a while; I can't do anything with it until Friday, but I'll work on it then to solve the problems with verifiability that this article suffers from.

 * Delete The fact that the album is notable doesn't mean that each song is, and I don't see anything in this article that couldn't be put in the album's article. syphonbyte (t 17:52, 26 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep without merge American Idiot is a huge album, and because it is a rock opera it should have all the songs covered. I feel there is enough information in there, and this is one of the turning points of the whole album. I feel that all of the songs deserve a page because there is enough information and it is important to understand each of the aspects of the album. Orfen 02:09, 30 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete or Merge and Do not Keep.  Vegaswikian 02:43, 30 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep without merge per Captainktainer and Orfen - keep and expand, don't delete. We're trying to expand this encyclopedia of useful content, and this certainly is. --FlyingPenguins 05:49, 30 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep without merge This song should certainly have its own article, for the reasons discussed, however, as a mediation between both sides, perhaps this should be changed to Letterbomb (song), and Letterbomb (device) could just become Letterbomb.mikey 03:25, 31 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Comment It's a 16 lines article about a song who is not even a single and was released less than 2 years! Psychomelodic 06:19, 1 August 2006 (UTC)
