This is a non-notable topic about a non-notable device from Futurama. It is only notable in the first episode when Fry almost got himself killed with it, but other than that, it serves no other purpose of mention here.

 * Keep - range of article is larger than just futurama --T-rex 20:28, 1 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete - Saying these concepts are related is a stretch, and a violation of WP:SYN. Until a reputable source writes an account of suicide booths throughout history and popular culture (which is just what this article is trying to do), this article does not belong in an encyclopedia. -Verdatum (talk) 20:45, 1 July 2008 (UTC)

 * Weak Keep - Like User:T-rex said, the article covers more than just the suicide booths in Futurama. TheChrisD Rants • Edits 22:41, 1 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep. Appears to be a common concept in fiction. I was sceptical, but did manage to find an external reference discussing it . the wub "?!"  23:49, 1 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep. Its not synthesis, its about the concept, not the actual name. --Richard Arthur Norton (1958- ) (talk) 01:25, 2 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep as an interesting verifiable article about suicide devices in multiple universes. Vickser (talk) 02:26, 2 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep per clear close in previous AfD and per Five pillars (notability to a real-world audience, consistent with a “specialized encyclopedia” concerning verifiable fictional topics with importance in the real world) and What Wikipedia is.
