People's Democratic Republic of Lanna

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

Non-existent subject. There is no such thing as a "People's Democratic Republic of Lanna", nor is there any group that professes to be pushing for it. What did exist, as mentioned in the cited sources, was a short-lived protest group called "Sor Por Por Lanna", active in early 2014 during the 2013–2014 Thai political crisis. "Sor Por Por" is a Thai three-letter abbreviation, which the group claims to stand for "Lanna Assembly for the Defense of Democracy", not "People's Democratic Republic" as some have suggested. At the very least the article needs to be renamed. However, I'm going to argue that the group isn't notable either, as the available coverage is only routine news coverage, and no WP:SUSTAINED significance has been demonstrated.
