Earth (Dragon Ball)[edit]

This article asserts zero notability through reliable sources, and is just an in-universe repetition of the plot sections of Dragon Ball Z articles. As such, it is duplicative and trivial, and should be deleted. Judgesurreal777 (talk) 22:12, 8 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. This is essential fancraft. Considering that Namek, Planet Vegeta, nor Qo'noS (for some Star Trek perspective) have their own articles, a separate article for Earth in the Dragon Ball universe is not warranted. Earth in the Dragon Ball universe should be chronicled in the Dragon Ball article where necessary instead. --Amwestover (talk|contrib) 00:48, 9 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Delete completely unnotable and fails WP:N, WP:WAF, and WP:PLOT. What "Earth" is does not need an entire article of explanation, and the basic essentials to Dragon Ball can be summarized in just a few words as necessary in the main DB article. -- Collectonian (talk · contribs) 01:24, 9 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Does not establish notability through real world significance in reliable secondary sources independent of the subject. Jay32183 (talk) 07:30, 10 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Delete, it is rare that a user types "Earth (Dragon Ball)". Explanations of places from the series can be explained in the episodes lists, manga chapters, or simply characters or plot sections. A terminology section in the main article is not necessary.Tintor2 (talk) 22:07, 10 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
