This article asserts no notability through reliable independent sources, and as such is just an in-universe repetition of plot elements from the Futurama episode articles. As such, this is all duplicative, this can be safely deleted. Judgesurreal777 (talk) 23:30, 29 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

- Keep this is referenced in outside sources. Give me a couple of days, I'll even deal with getting the citations in there myself. This should be pretty easy to clean up. 24.11.202.83 07:39, 1 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- No, it isn't, there isn't a one reference that isn't the show itself, which is the issue at hand. Please read WP:FICTION Judgesurreal777 21:57, 1 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- That simply is not the case. I was able to find plenty of outside references. Look, I know that your job is to delete stuff, and I know you're very good at it, but I think you might have jumped the gun on this one. Just give me a little time to get some references up there. 24.11.202.83 02:12, 2 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- I am more than willing to change my mind, assuming you have any evidence that this has notability, but I haven't seen anything. Do you really think you will find things like developer interviews, early design sketches, creator commentary, or popular reaction to this? I am curious.

- Keep as it is a notable aspect of a notable show, video game, DVD movie, etc. Best, --Le Grand Roi des CitrouillesTally-ho! 02:23, 3 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

- I see no sources to indicate that the article, and suggest it is deleted, and then redirected to Futurama. I (talk) 02:51, 3 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Merge a summary and redirect to Futurama, and merge details to the various episodes where the Earth government was featured; links from the main summary about Earth to the episodes should be made. Since this is more than the AfD closer should be expected to do, keep or redirect to give other editors a chance to do it. If kept, it should probably be renamed to Earth (Futurama), as I don't think the term "United States of Earth" was ever actually used on the show. DHowell 01:28, 4 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete - Non-notable, unsourced, fancruft. - Mdbrownmsw (talk) 13:40, 5 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- I recently rewrote the overlong and entirely in-universe article about Robotology into a more general treatment of religion in Futurama. Perhaps this, and the deleted content about DOOP, could be trimmed and combined into a "Politics in Futurama" article. ~Matticus UC 11:29, 6 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete Someone could always recreate it later with adequate sourcing, instead of, well, none. Cirt (talk) 17:53, 6 December 2007 (UTC).[reply]
- Delete- in universe, no attempt at real life notability, almost no chance of such notability being established through external (non-Futurama) sources. Epthorn (talk) 07:56, 8 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
