Kingdom of Africa (micronation)

 * – ( View AfD View log | edits since nomination)

The article was placed up for PROD but article creator deleted that. Previous PROD nominators cited that there is no source for this purported micronation other than that of a primary source website. This is my concern also, and my fear is that this "micronation" could be nothing more than a scam to sell passports, something Wikipedia should not be involved in.

 * Delete per nom. While several people have tried to create micronations in Bir Tawil (an area on the Egypt-Sudan border not claimed by either country), this particular micronation has no independent sources cited; the only cited independent sources discuss Bir Tawil but not this so-called Kingdom of Africa. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 04:40, 15 July 2022 (UTC)
 * Delete As a self-professed "unrecognized micronation", I see no reason why we should buck the trend and recognise it. Fails WP:GNG. Best Alexandermcnabb (talk) 13:15, 15 July 2022 (UTC)
 * Delete agree with nom. I've given up on micronations, when the website owners put Wirtland up for sale, without consulting the "residents"; it's only workable as long as we play the game apparently. Oaktree b (talk) 19:01, 15 July 2022 (UTC)

 * Delete. If any content is savable, it could be included in Bir Tawil. Jacona (talk) 11:15, 21 July 2022 (UTC)
 * Delete. I've clicked every find-sources link, but can't find a single independent, reliable source that discusses this made-up "nation". Glades12 (talk) 20:24, 21 July 2022 (UTC)


 * Note from OP: I put the word "micronation" in quotation marks, and re-reading it now it looks like I'm questioning the idea of micronations themselves, which I'm not as such. The Principality of Sealand is a legitimate micronation. I'm just doubtful about this specific micronation. CeltBrowne (talk) 20:33, 21 July 2022 (UTC)
