Nonsense. Unverifiable. Royalty in oregon?-- BMIComp (talk, HOWS MY DRIVING) 02:50, 23 July 2005 (UTC)


 * Speedy delete Patent nonsense --malathion talk 02:52, 23 July 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete. Also delete King Richard Lake which I've temporarily redirected to His Majesty, Richard lake, King of The Sakonta Tribe. Angela. 03:08, July 23, 2005 (UTC)
 * Speedy delete. A king and queen handing out peerages from Eugene, Oregon is pretty nonsensical. Gazpacho 03:19, 23 July 2005 (UTC)
 * Not speedy, but no other vote at this time . Most of the information in this article is verifiable: The Baltimore Sun, for instance, refers to the Duke of Westarctica. It's a micronation of questionable legitimacy. Pburka 03:46, 23 July 2005 (UTC)
 * Ah, but you're taking it out of context by not telling what the registration-required article really says. "Digital media often play a major role in the establishment of nascent nations. On his Web site, His Serene Majesty Grand Duke Travis of Westarctica claims all of Antarctica between 90 and 150 degrees west longitude, and that he has notified nine countries that "this area will henceforth be known as the Achaean Territory of Antarctica." The duke has graciously granted all scientific research operations within the realm four years to register their presence with his government." That's like me stating I'm the Great king of Brettland. All hail me. All countries in this hemisphere are now possesions of my empire. CEDE THEM TO ME! -- BMIComp (talk, HOWS MY DRIVING) 07:59, 23 July 2005 (UTC)
 * I didn't realize registration was required. Google new appears to bypass that. I'm not arguing that the article should be kept &mdash; just that it's regular nonsense and not patent nonsense. Wikipedia has lots of articles about nonsensical subjects (e.g. Creation Science). However, I believe that this particular nonsense is not notable, and should be deleted at the completion of the normal VfD process. Pburka 14:14, 23 July 2005 (UTC)
 * Speedy Delete as per Angela. Hamster Sandwich 03:48, 23 July 2005 (UTC)

 * Yes It is all great fun but it does not belong in an encyclopaedia.--Porturology 07:27, 23 July 2005 (UTC)
 * Speedy Delete as patent nonsense. A king and royal family in Eugene claiming jurisdiction over western Antartica is nonsensical. Capitalistroadster 07:23, 23 July 2005 (UTC)
 * Speedy delete as sock-supported, or at least more than one vote by one user-supported, patent nonsense. --Idont Havaname 07:46, 23 July 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete - probably patent nonsense, and POV too! But info could find a home in micronation if accurate. Barnabypage 07:56, 23 July 2005 (UTC)
