Central Saharan Republic

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

Micronation 5 km² in area and with a population of 25. The two independent external references do not seem to even confirm its existence. -- RHaworth (Talk | contribs) 14:41, 26 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete, no such thing. Punkmorten (talk) 14:52, 26 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete. Fictional land from the Marvell comic universe. Doesn't exist in the world as we know it. Excirial ( Talk, Contribs ) 14:55, 26 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete A hoax, probably building upon the comic book reference, with its own website. Mandsford (talk) 14:58, 26 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep I was there and did an interview with the president of the country for Playboy magazine. They're planning on announcing the government and being independent in two weeks. I am planning on going back for independence day as one of the few Western journalists to cover the story.User:AndrewSzabo —Preceding unsigned comment added by Andrewszabo (talk • contribs) 15:01, 26 May 2008 (UTC)  — Andrewszabo (talk&#32;• contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.

 * Delete As it stands right now it gets around 24 independent hits from a Google search and something like 23 of them are about the fictional Marvell country. Delete until it actually gets into real news stories and credible sources. LonelyMarble (talk) 18:35, 26 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete. A country of 25 people? It's a mirage. Clarityfiend (talk) 18:52, 26 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep, but modify. The Pitcairn Islands have only 50 people. The size of a country should not be a deciding factor. However, until it is not an independent country, confirmed by independent sources it should be under a separate category, such as "countries under construction". —Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.182.65.95 (talk • contribs) 19:21, 26 May 2008 (UTC)  — 81.182.65.95 (talk) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.
 * The deciding factor is not the size of it but if it has credible sources to back it up. As it stands it is mentioned in no known news sources and the only sources backing it up are not credible at all. It should be deleted until it gets those independent sources but if and when it does then it can simply be created again. LonelyMarble (talk) 20:27, 26 May 2008 (UTC)


 * 20-Mule-Team Delete: Fails WP:V, WP:N, WP:HOAX and WP:BULLSHIT.  I was going to summarize the five minutes of research I did into this one, but it's a plain hoax pushed by SPAs, so why bother?    Ravenswing  21:03, 26 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete but if it does turn out not to be a hoax, to be real, and able to be verified (which would most likely be after independence is declared, if it happens), then it can be recreated. As it stands now, it certainly looks fishy to me.  Red Phoenix  flame of life...protector of all... 21:19, 26 May 2008 (UTC)

 * Delete as hoax, together with the Central Sahara redirect. - Ev (talk) 03:37, 27 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete hoaxalicious. JuJube (talk) 05:22, 27 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete. If we don't, some local army may well do so anyway. Given the instability of the Western Sahara region, a country of 25 people has, well, WP:SNOW pretty much describes it... Anyway, the domain name was registered 2 weeks ago and is based in Kentucky, so I would say this is a very nicely done website project/hoax. Eauhomme (talk) 16:00, 27 May 2008 (UTC)
