Editing Talk:United States

If real world is on the page we should include some references to the real world. Like how the USA is the home of Bungie, Microsoft and Ensamble and how the Marines, Nuclear weapons and the UN originated here. If we mention that maybe people will stop demanding it's deletion.

:::I agree with Dragonclaws, though also remember while it may not be a national political entity, America would still likely refer to the region (as in, the former USA), which this article would be used for in a post-URNA formation article. [[User:Grizzlei|CommanderTony]]

:There's several flaws in your argument: Bungie never said the Believe campaign was not canon. It was assumed that since Microsoft had no control over the Halo plot during Halo 3's production, they tried to create their own story using what they know about the Halo Universe. Similarly, even though there this inconsistency in the Halo Universe, the campaign along with every element of the campaign deserves a mention in Halopedia. However, if it has been proven/verified that an article is not canon, we can simple add a Not Canon template to notify visitors of its status. And this is all coming from facts of a ''biased'' administrator who has two nationalities and wonders which nation/country she should support. Again, read the articles carefully and slowly digest the information. Try to search for several informations that might contradict the established information and then present your argument.- <font face="Century Gothic">[[User:Subtank|<font color="gold"><font color="#FF4F00">5</font>əb<font color="#FF4F00">'7</font>aŋk</font>]]^{([[User talk:Subtank|<font color="#FF4F00">7alk</font>]])}</font> 16:07, November 5, 2009 (UTC)

:::Our Canon policy: ''Although fanfiction is to be avoided, official material, even non-canon material, falls into Halopedia's range''. So, even though it is not canon, it deserves to be mentioned.- <font face="Century Gothic">[[User:Subtank|<font color="gold"><font color="#FF4F00">5</font>əb<font color="#FF4F00">'7</font>aŋk</font>]]^{([[User talk:Subtank|<font color="#FF4F00">7alk</font>]])}</font> 16:15, November 5, 2009 (UTC)

Okay, so Andromeda Vadum has posted the "nominated for deletion" box on the United States of America, and since we seem to have had an extensive debate on the subject (and I really hate seeing that box on top of a page for an extended period of time), I say it's time we settled this issue and vote to see where everyone stands. Keep in mind, the Halopedia [[Halopedia:Voting policy]] voting policy applies; those who do not meet the correct criteria will not have their votes counted. Also, remember that the Halopedia Administrators have the final word. --[[File:Emblem 1.jpg|20px]][[User:Rusty-112|<font color="Blue">'''Rusty'''</font>]][[User:Rusty-112|<font color="Red">'''-'''</font>]]UserWiki:Rusty-112|<font color="Blue">'''112'''</font>]] 23:17, November 24, 2009 (UTC)

#{{Oppose}} - I oppose deleting the article, United States of America for two of the following reasons. First, Halo: Contact Harvest states "some of the people who lived in the Zone still considered themselves American" when speaking about Chicago. Second, the Halo Encyclopedia describes the United Republic of North America as "a loose association," meaning its members the US, Canada and Mexico still have some degree of autonomy (within the confines of the United Earth Government, as are all other countries on Earth). These reasons alone are reason enough why the United States is notable, therefore deserves its own page. --[[File:Emblem 1.jpg|20px]][[User:Rusty-112|<font color="Blue">'''Rusty'''</font>]][[User:Rusty-112|<font color="Red">'''-'''</font>]]UserWiki:Rusty-112|<font color="Blue">'''112'''</font>]] 23:17, November 24, 2009 (UTC)

:Yeah, it has, but I just don't think any of those mentions are significant enough to merit its own page.--[[File:Emblem 1.jpg|20px]][[User:Rusty-112|<font color="Blue">'''Rusty'''</font>]][[User:Rusty-112|<font color="Red">'''-'''</font>]]UserWiki:Rusty-112|<font color="Blue">'''112'''</font>]] 20:59, December 5, 2009 (UTC)

:It's canon, referred to in the story about Admiral Cole in [[Halo: Evolutions]]. The US somehow fell apart into disparate territories following some kind of civil war, and later contributed to the foundation of the [[United Republic of North America]] which it is currently a part of. --[[User:UNSC Trooper|<font color="darkblue">UNSC Trooper</font>]] File:unsctrooper_small.jpg|14px]] ^{[[User talk:UNSC Trooper|<font color="green">Talk</font>]]}_{[[Special:Contributions/UNSC Trooper|<font color="green">My Work</font>]]} 20:03, December 11, 2009 (UTC)

:Read the pages United States of America and United Republic of North America. They state that this is ''conjecture.'' It's based more on little hints left by the authors than anything explictly said.--[[File:Emblem 1.jpg|20px]][[User:Rusty-112|<font color="Blue">'''Rusty'''</font>]][[User:Rusty-112|<font color="Red">'''-'''</font>]]UserWiki:Rusty-112|<font color="Blue">'''112'''</font>]] 18:33, December 14, 2009 (UTC)
