Suicide booth

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

This survived two AfDs 10 years ago when Google hits were sufficient. It is a mostly unreferenced list of this device appearances in various media (sometimes under different names). Real world discussion of it is rather sparse.A few mentions in passing. One recent book has a short chapter entitled 'suicide booth' but having read it I am afraid it is not an in-depth coverage of this; it is mostly focused on philosophy and just mentions Futurama's suicide's booth in passing as an example (and uses it for a 'cool' title). I see nothing else out there except few mentions in passing, and short descriptions mostly limited to lists of Futurama's gadgets. Perhaps a few referenced sentences could be merged to Euthanasia device where a section 'in popular culture' could be created, and it could be then soft deleted and redirected?

 * Merge to Euthanasia device as WP:SYNTH. It would definitely make more sense as an "In fiction" section than its own article.ZXCVBNM (TALK) 04:12, 11 November 2019 (UTC)
 * Merge to Euthanasia device per nom and Zxcvbnm. Better start from the real-world equivalent and expand into sourced commentary on fictional elements, than start from a WP:SYNTH point (which it currently is). – sgeureka t•c 09:49, 11 November 2019 (UTC)
 * Merge to Euthanasia device per the rational provided by the nominator. Utopes (talk) 05:09, 12 November 2019 (UTC)
 * Merge (with a "redirect") to Euthanasia device, as above, when/if sources are found that cover this ie. an academic paper that discusses the correlation (if any) between these devices appearing in contemporary fiction and euthanasia debates rising in the wider community? than a standalone may be warranted, until than a "In fiction" section or somesuch is the way to go.
