Undiscussed split that goes against all precedent in articles about music singles. The video for a song essentially never receives a stand-alone article, basically under the consensus that it is undue weight to one aspect of the single. The only exception to that I can find is Michael Jackson's Thriller, and I don't think this even begins to approach the level of independent notoriety that that video has. My efforts to redirect this article back to Breaking the Habit#Music video were reverted, so here we are at AFD. Since the material in the main article is quite sufficient, this extraneous article should be deleted and a redirect installed in its place. —Kww(talk) 14:10, 29 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Comment – I do not think the article falls within the scope of WP:ANIME. – Allen4names 20:13, 29 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Keep It gets ample news coverage. Click the Google news archive search at the top of the AFD, and the first of the three results that appear goes into detail about it. [1] References are in the article pointing to different news sources also. Dream Focus 01:40, 30 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Comment - This is a high-profile music video and it definitely should have its own page. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 184.8.115.154 (talk) 15:17, 2 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Any well sourced info from this can and should be put into the music video section of the song's page, and this should be deleted. This page defies all precedent; as discussed by the nominator, only the most notable music videos (such as Thriller) need to have articles separate from the song itself.--Yaksar (let's chat) 04:41, 5 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Merge and Delete Music videos are only given their own articles in exceptional circumstances. Very, very few have their own page. Tis one certainly isn't notable enough for one. KnowitallWiki (talk) 14:05, 5 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.
