Duchy of Natatoria
No google hits excepting wikipedia clones. Bogdan | Talk 08:46, 7 Jan 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete - Just like that Imperial Post topic, this seems like non-notable advertising too.Venice 17:17, 8 Jan 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete all micronations. RickK 22:46, Jan 7, 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete, not notable. Megan1967 01:34, 8 Jan 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete this nn ad. Wyss 02:59, 8 Jan 2005 (UTC)
 * Wasn't this listed before? -- Cyrius|&#9998; 03:34, 9 Jan 2005 (UTC)
 * Yes, and it survived VfD. Why are we doing this again?  --Daniel C. Boyer 13:41, 14 Jan 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete, nn fictional sovereignty. Edeans 05:46, 9 Jan 2005 (UTC)
 * Number one, it does not even claim to be soverign, which you would know if you bothered to read the article. Number two, do you even know what a micronation is?  --Daniel C. Boyer 13:41, 14 Jan 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete non-notable. But what about those stamps! --Deathphoenix 04:41, 11 Jan 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete fabrication, self-promotion. Sandover 06:20, 11 Jan 2005 (UTC)
 * Is it a fabrication as a component part of a micronation, taking into account what a micronation is? And I am not the Duke of Natatoria.  So how is it self-promotion?  --Daniel C. Boyer 13:41, 14 Jan 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete unless references provided. Google returns no hits that aren't this article, and the local university library's catalog lists no books on artistamps or any reasonable variation thereof (although their catalog search isn't the best). I have no way of verifying this, and Mr. Boyer would rather question people's understanding of "what a micronation is" than provide some reasonable evidence that this has any intersection with reality. -- Cyrius|&#9998; 15:10, 14 Jan 2005 (UTC)
 * Question: Does anyone have any information on the lawsuit; can they get confirmation on details/documentation? --Daniel C. Boyer 20:52, 16 Jan 2005 (UTC)
