[edit] Nation of Pogo

Not notable. Basically just a fantasy. Delete. JeremyA 01:02, 2 Jun 2005 (UTC)

• Delete Micronations are kind of interesting but they aren't inherently notable CAPS LOCK 01:04, 2 Jun 2005 (UTC)
• Delete. nonnotable. mikka (t) 01:14, 2 Jun 2005 (UTC)
• Keep As they say in Poganese, "Judge otras as tu want ellos to treat tu". Mjvan12Uswer 01:15, 2 Jun 2005 (UTC)

• Delete all micronations. AиDя01DTALKEMAIL 02:25, Jun 2, 2005 (UTC)
• Keep. Areas seeking legitimate succession are of interest, even if only to those in the area. Almafeta 02:31, 2 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  • There's no indication that this "nation" is actually seeking secession, or that it is anything but a fantasy or a hoax. "nation of pogo", "pogo independence party", and the latter's misspelled variant yield no Google hits. AиDя01DTALKEMAIL 02:41, Jun 2, 2005 (UTC)
• Delete. At least pretend that the main method of transport is the pogo stick. Hedley 02:34, 2 Jun 2005 (UTC)
• Keep This is still something that will help our archives. The name shouldn't matter. georgeh78 3:01, 2 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  • The above user's only contributions are to this VfD. 03:10, 2 Jun 2005 (UTC)CAPS LOCK
  • Err, come again? AиDя01DTALKEMAIL 03:11, Jun 2, 2005 (UTC)
• Delete Sealand is notable. This is not. WhereTF is it? SchmuckyTheCat 03:59, 2 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  • As far as I can make out from the article, it is by a river in the USA. Given the US has a large number of rivers, this doesn't really narrow it down that much! Thryduulf 16:36, 2 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  • Before User:Mjvan12 (see above) rewrote it, the article said it's in Oswego, Illinois. RickK 19:15, Jun 2, 2005 (UTC)
• Delete - No one has given any proof that this even exists. --Barfooz (talk) 04:24, 2 Jun 2005 (UTC)
• Delete It only exists in some guy's mind. --Xcali 06:08, 2 Jun 2005 (UTC)
• Delete. Non notable micronation. Sjakkalle 07:08, 2 Jun 2005 (UTC)
• Delete, not encyclopaedic. They didn't even bother saying where it is. --bainer (talk) 09:04, 2 Jun 2005 (UTC)
• Delete. Declaring your bedroom an independent nation is not notable to an encyclopedia, although it might be to your psychiatrist. Average Earthman 10:18, 2 Jun 2005 (UTC)
• Delete Not notable. John Cross 14:18, 2 Jun 2005 (UTC)
• Delete Not notable. Thryduulf 16:36, 2 Jun 2005 (UTC)
• Delete all micronations, especially those whose sole purpose is to try to make their nonnotable conlang notable. RickK 19:11, Jun 2, 2005 (UTC)
• Delete not all micronations, just most of them, and certainly this one. If Google hasn't heard of it, it's got to go. We aren't a secessionist web host. --Idont Havaname 21:11, 2 Jun 2005 (UTC)
• Keep Seems to be notable enough if it recieved 203 votes in the US presidental election. You 21:33, Jun 2, 2005 (UTC)
  • This "fact" has not been verified. One would expect "pogo independence party" to yield at least a few Google hits if it were true. AиDя01DTALKEMAIL 21:38, Jun 2, 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete. It did not appear on any state's ballot. [1] --Metropolitan90 01:03, Jun 3, 2005 (UTC)
  • And how did it manage to return 203 votes when "it has a population that rarely exceeds seven"? --Douglas 19:48, 8 Jun 2005 (UTC)
• Delete with extreme prejudice. — Phil Welch 23:23, 2 Jun 2005 (UTC)
• Delete definitely not notable. --Etacar11 23:43, 2 Jun 2005 (UTC)
• Delete - I have voted for micronations in the past but this one is not sufficiently notable. Umm... is it at all notable? - Tεxτurε 18:16, 8 Jun 2005 (UTC)
• Move to the funny farm page I can't recall what that page is called but since this is clearly a hoax page with some literary merit, it belongs on the joke archive. --Douglas 19:48, 8 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  • Wikipedia:Bad jokes and other deleted nonsense. Thryduulf 22:24, 8 Jun 2005 (UTC)
• Speedy delete as patent nonsense and move to BJAODN. Aecis 22:51, 10 Jun 2005 (UTC)
