Speculative (to put it charitably) article on a supposed alliance of Milky Way civilizations. All three cited references are to different sources reporting on the same interview with an Israeli UFO crackpot. Utterly non-notable and a glaring violation of WP:FRINGE.

Delete - The article creator was piggybacking on Galactic Confederacy/Scientology notability/fame, but it's the wrong name and the article really has nothing to do with the Scientology GC story. What is left sounds like recent UFO conspiracy theory stuff, but not even enough of that to write about. Speculative content. ▶ I am Grorp ◀ 02:48, 24 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect/merge - as NASA explained, the claims are false, but the news coverage of the claims might be worth inclusion at Ground Crew Project, or at least a redirect there --DannyS712 (talk) 02:58, 24 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect/merge to the Ground Crew Project per Danny. The article doesn't make a good case for stand-alone notability for now. --_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 08:38, 24 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Merge - I would be disappointed if the article were removed. Personally, I think it is a nice and interesting article. Therefore, I would indeed also merge it with Ground Crew Project, if the article were not allowed to exist on its own. S.

Seems reasonable to merge to Ground Crew Project. Hyperbolick (talk) 11:36, 24 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect/merge, nothing to add to all of the above, Slatersteven (talk) 13:53, 24 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect to List of fictional galactic communities and once done include a line in the intro there about it being a claim or speculation in ufology, as yet unproven. It would be an undeserved honor imo to redirect or merge with Ground Crew Project. The original idea (apart from 1951's The Day the Earth Stood Still) is much earlier attributed to a different UFO group. From encyclopedia.com: QUOTE: "Unarius was established in 1954 by Ernest and Ruth Norman; its central emphasis is on channeled information from extraterrestrial beings, especially about reincarnation, and the spiritual entry of Earth into the Galactic Federation, which occurred on September 14, 1973." In my opinion it's WP:TOOSOON for a stand-alone "Galactic Federation (ufology)" article until more references can be produced to move it out of fiction. The two-word term Galactic Federation goes to a disambiguation page. 5Q5|^✉

I added this sourced line to the List of fictional galactic communities: "In ufology and some New Age religions there are claims and speculations of the existence of a Galactic Federation, but no evidence has ever been presented to prove its existence beyond an imaginary concept." If there is ever more notability, a stand-alone article could be republished. 5Q5|^✉ 12:56, 28 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
