Delete - no indication that this title is of more than local usage or is notable anymore than nearly any liberal leaning town has some "People's Republic" appellation. Carlossuarez46 (talk) 07:41, 18 February 2009 (UTC) It's been applied to Berkley, Cal., Boulder, Col., Madison, Wis. and a lot of college towns, as well as Burlington, Vermont. Maybe someone can make a list of places that get that name and put this under section "D". Mandsford (talk) 13:57, 18 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete. No evidence of widespread usage. Derogatory names are dime a dozen. Sjakkalle (Check!)  10:09, 18 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete per above comments. J L G 4 1 0 4  12:21, 18 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete Absolutely no citations, by it's own definition a neologism, and in 10 sentances I already see "implied", "it is believed that..." and "perhaps" weasel words. This is not an article. -Markeer 13:09, 18 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete Davis, California (home of University of California system's UC-Davis) is only the latest place to be cleverly nicknamed "People's Republic of _____".
 * Actually, Madison, Wisconsin is on a whole different planet ;) MuZemike 18:17, 18 February 2009 (UTC)


 * Delete WP is not a collection of jokes and clever remarks, which this one is not even so very so. Northwestgnome (talk) 15:14, 18 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Comment The article cites the Davis Wiki as a source, and while this doesn't look like a straight copyvio (Davis Wiki apparently is under a Creative Commons license for what it's worth), the tone and content of the articles are certainly similar. Townlake (talk) 16:10, 18 February 2009 (UTC)
