created by user:theodana (unique edit), is a fictional, joke-ruled, and maybe students-created republic Cantalamessa 15:35, 17 July 2006 (UTC)

• Speedy Delete Wasn't this shovelled off of here before? WP:NFT, WP:CB, etc., etc. JChap (talk • contribs) 15:40, 17 July 2006 (UTC)
• Delete, speedy if possible. (Can you say a micronation has no assertion of notability?) Everybody with a free web page can announce a micronation. Doesn't mean anyone should remotely care. Fan-1967 16:04, 17 July 2006 (UTC)
• Regular delete, was speedied before, but I don't think this is exactly patent nonsense. Kimchi.sg 16:28, 17 July 2006 (UTC)

• Actually, I was hoping for some version of A7. Couldn't a micronation qualify as "group of people, band, or club that does not assert the importance or significance of its subject"? Fan-1967 16:36, 17 July 2006 (UTC)

• The micronation article says that micronations are "eccentric and ephemeral in nature, and are often created and maintained by a single person or family group" so it seems that calling something a micronation asserts that it isn't notable. Yet WP has some articles on these things, usually if they have received some media coverage because of their connection to a political movement or meme. The ones that tend to show up in AfD have an awful lot of the "Republic of Me and My Cat" feel to them, though, which makes them kind of nonsense. WP:ORG probably applies, but it seems that there should be some standards specifically developed for mns, including csd, as they seem to be showing up in new articles and AfD a lot.

• Delete as per WP:NN. As suggested above, guidelines should be developed to state under what circumstances a micronation might become notable. Scorpiondollprincess 20:03, 17 July 2006 (UTC)
• Comment I have started a discussion on this over at the Village Pump if anyone's interested. JChap (talk • contribs) 20:30, 17 July 2006 (UTC)
• Delete, non-notable. --Coredesat talk. o.o;; 05:28, 18 July 2006 (UTC)
