This article seems to me like a duplicate of the Wiktionary entry for "United States". Propose merging any entries not yet listed there. --The Evil IP address (talk) 15:43, 11 January 2017 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * This was linked to as a main article at List_of_country_names_in_various_languages_(Q%E2%80%93Z) (see the entry in left margin @ U.S. section). Shawn in Montreal (talk) 16:06, 11 January 2017 (UTC)
 * I find this article to be duplicating Wiktionary too (another debate though). --The Evil IP address (talk) 22:40, 11 January 2017 (UTC)

 * Keep. There's a whole network of these types of articles (i.e., names of countries or cities in various languages).  The real question here is whether the content of this article merely duplicates the material already appearing in List of country names in various languages (Q–Z).  But the instant article puts that material in a sortable table, whereas the "Q to Z" article forces the reader to search alphabetically by the other-language name (and not by the name of the other language).  A good argument could be made for saying that we should have more articles of the instant type, rather than less.  NewYorkActuary (talk) 21:33, 18 January 2017 (UTC)

 * Delete per WP:NOTDIC, Wikipedia is not a translation dictionary. This is adequately covered by United States. -- Tavix ( talk ) 21:32, 30 January 2017 (UTC)
 * Delete, this is dictionary content.  Sandstein   15:32, 2 February 2017 (UTC)
