[edit] Former United States

Author offers no detail about the novels: Badlands redirects to the geological feature, and Badlands (movie) has a completely different storyline. Article is badly written, probably a hoax. Physchim62 12:38, 20 Jun 2005 (UTC)

    • Comment: I found Deathlands later, but it doesn't change my view that Former United States is currently unsavable without a complete rewrite, if then. Physchim62 15:34, 20 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  • Deletewith prejudice. You want me to go to the library and tell you where every fiction novel ever written was 'set' and make a wiki page? This is out of control...all fiction stories should have ONE page only. You Lord of the rings fan will kill me, but this isn't a facility for setting up in perpetuity the niche knowledge of fans of fantasy stories. Go make a web site on the actual web no one's stopping you.--0001 13:53, 20 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep, Wikipedia is not paper so it has space to tell me where every fiction novel ever written was set. Kappa 18:13, 20 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete and possibly Merge with Apocalyptic and post-apocalyptic science fiction or with the pages about the series of novels (if the article(s) exist). —Kjammer 18:36, 20 Jun 2005 (UTC)

  • Merge and Delete. Lots of bad spelling and can go into the Badlands article. --Pc13 19:07, 2005 Jun 22 (UTC)
