List of micronation currencies

At the very least, this seems to fail WP:LISTN. "Micronation currency" doesn't appear to be a notable concept on its own, not to mention that most of what's here is sourced pretty dubiously (mostly primary). I can't imagine why there's any reason to collect this all into a separate list article rather than just leaving this information on the page of the individual entries if it's properly sourceable. –Deacon Vorbis (carbon &bull; videos) 19:32, 7 September 2020 (UTC)

 * Comment I'm inclined to delete per nom, but it seems like the info on this list, if properly sourced of course, could just become a column or two in List of micronations—a list which does appear to pass WP:LISTN, as the topic of micronations has been the subject of multiple journal articles and books according to GBooks and GScholar. However, the merge would be a real pain to execute, unless the Visual Editor is capable of copy-pasting feats with tables that I have hitherto not contemplated.

 * Delete None of these are real currencies, for the most part they're jokes made up one day as part of their imaginary countries. Some contracted with printers or mints to make a small amount play money, perhaps to sell to people who collect tokens, but almost none are actually used in trade. Sources here are largely brief mentions in curiosity articles about the micronations, primary sources, or exonumia websites, with nothing on the topic as a whole. With respect to a merge, that would be reasonable were many of these actually used in these places, but most are tongue-in-cheek. Reywas92Talk 20:29, 7 September 2020 (UTC)
 * Merge to List of micronations - not enough to warrant it's own standalone article. -Kj cheetham (talk) 20:12, 9 September 2020 (UTC)
 * Merge with List of micronations - interesting enough to keep, but not in its own article — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mariolovr (talk • contribs) 02:05, 13 September 2020 (UTC)
