Life in the United States
This page essentially rehashes information available in lots of other articles to no apparent purpose. In particular, the purpose of this page is served by the United_States article and the multiple subpages such as Culture_of_the_United_States, etc. etc. linked from there. My concern here is that there is now yet another page that has to be updated; if someone modifies the United_States article's entry under the subheading "Culture", for example, she then has to go over to the Life in the United States article to update the equivalent section. The article has been around for nearly a year with almost no real edits, and it seems that most wikipedians have chosen to ignore it anyway. Sdedeo 16:21, 9 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete for the reasons stated, ogether with the similar Life in the European Union which is currently listed for VfD as well Tonywalton 20:05, 9 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Merge or delete. As per nomination. / Peter Isotalo 23:11, 9 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete. Other than in Life in the European Union, which seems to have some content that isn't already covered elsewhere, nothing needs to be salvaged here. Martg76 23:14, 9 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete - redundant. Possibly redirect to Culture of the United States, but make it go away. -- Cyrius|&#9998; 23:57, 9 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete, or possibly merge if there's any unique content. A redundant fork, just like Life in the European Union. Bishonen | talk 00:04, 10 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete as above, though it's not as inappropriate as the other one. Osomec 06:05, 10 August 2005 (UTC)
 *  Delete Keep or Merge.  Culture of the United States really does cover everything this article would.--142.163.130.240 14:54, 10 August 2005 (UTC) --142.163.130.240 20:13, 10 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete. There's a place for this kind of article, but it's not Wikipedia, and this info is duplicated elsewhere on WP. - A Man In Black (Talk | Contribs) 17:16, 10 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete. Sadly enough, I created this article.  But frankly, I can't really say that it serves much purpose or that I really care to or have the Wikitime to devote to it, as I have my hands full elsewhere.  Anyway, the box is useful, so when this page is deleted, could the administrator please change the box's link?  Never mind, I changed it already.--naryathegreat | (talk) 04:22, August 13, 2005 (UTC)
