Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Grand Republic of Cycoldia


 * The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review).  No further edits should be made to this page.

The result was speedy delete. I appreciate RHaworth's willingness to have his speedy deletion reviewed by a wider audience. However, the state of the article and the rapidly growing consensus here support speedy deletion as non-notable, as made up by the article creator, and potentially as a hoax article / fiction written as fact. I am not willing to leave this article in mainspace for a week while the AfD plays out, and the outcome of this debate is already clear. I have speedied the article, and per WP:SNOW, am closing this AfD early. If the article creator or anyone else wants to contest my speedy deletion, they're welcome to avail themselves of WP:DRV.

The author of this piece seems to be male but calls himself Christina I and refers to himself as 'she'. He has been pleading on my user talk page so could a few more people tell him that it is unencyclopedic rubbish. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 20:22, 20 November 2019 (UTC) It's called being trans - User:Ari Telford
 * Delete. Wikipedia is not for something you made up at school one day. Dorsetonian (talk) 20:35, 20 November 2019 (UTC)
 * Delete. I can find no independent coverage of this entity. I did find that Grand Duchy of Flandrensis and Aerican Empire have each "recognized" Cycoldia, but no coverage or mentions in reliable sources. Schazjmd   (talk)  20:43, 20 November 2019 (UTC)
 * Speedy delete per WP:A11.  NNADI GOOD LUCK  ( Talk &#124; Contribs ) 20:48, 20 November 2019 (UTC)
 * Speedy delete Meets the speedy delete criteria WP:A11 and possibly WP:A7. Being recognized as a nation by two nations that have not been recognized as nations does not make you notable. Hog Farm (talk) 21:42, 20 November 2019 (UTC)
 * Hello, I would like to say that Cycoldia has multiple references, such as recognition by both states mentioned, attendance to MicroCon 2019, and technical recognition by the United States Department of Education via a stamp on one of our passports. I also would like to say that it is rude as hell to use me being transgender in the talk about a micronational page. ~Sincerely Her Imperial Majesty Christina I of Cycoldia
 * Speedy delete. This was CSD'ed and deleted yesterday; the author objected a now we are here for a formal deletion discussion. I see no actual RS to substantiate anything about this article. Concur with the original CSD MB 23:59, 20 November 2019 (UTC)
 * The article just got restored around 4 hours ago! More time is needed to be able to change and edit it!--Real DarkLuke2005 (talk) 00:15, 21 November 2019 (UTC)
 * , the point isn't the state of the article currently; it's that multiple editors have tried to find significant coverage in reliable sources and failed. There are no reliable sources referenced in the article. None of us can find anything to support that Cycoldia is notable (in the Wikipedia sense of notability.

 * Right now I am getting people who have worked with me on Cycoldia, such as it's attendance at MicroCon 2019, in which I met Kevin Baugh of Molossia. As well some would say that a full article on the Foodfight! movie is not notable or Pennsylvania, Exeter, but there is a Wikipedia page for it. As well Cycoldia is very notable for the 73+ citizens of it, the multitudes of allies of Cycoldia, and the multiple other micronations that recognize us. As well the article doesn't have many references because I am adding those, so really I think that the suggestion for deletion before the page even got off the ground is ludicrous — Preceding unsigned comment added by Real DarkLuke2005 (talk • contribs) 01:06, 21 November 2019 (UTC)
