Needs Help: Chemical Messiah

Go To

A while back, I created this trope, Chemical Messiah, but it needs help. It needs more description, more examples, and, perhaps, a picture. Tell me what you think.

Also, I'm no longer so sure about the opening sentence. It's an artifact from when the trope was known by its pre-launch working title, "Crystal Meth Jesus".

We're less in the business of Wiki Magic and more in the business of repairing problems. There doesn't seem to be a problem here that requires TRS consensus to fix. Try crosswicking? And YKTTW can help with examples if you need them.

Yeah, this page ought to have been crosswicked.

I put this page in Wiki Magic, a long time ago, but nothing was really done with it. I could do some of it myself, but I'm just one guy. I can be busy.

Did the crosswicking and fixed the description & some bad examples.

So, are there other reasons this might not be thriving? Should we think of a few useful redirects and send it on its way, or does it deserve a full rename?

(I'm leaning towards: send it on its way for now, and allow it to be brought back in a year or so if the crosswicking and such didn't prove sufficient.)

Speaking words of fandom: let it squee, let it squee.

Wonder Drug and Worshipped Drug are the redirects I can think of.

Wonder Drug seems misleading and prone to misuse. Neutral on the other (no objections).
