Republic of Catan

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

A non-notable micronation. Maybe a hoax? Lugia2453 (talk) 18:14, 21 March 2014 (UTC)


 * The Republic of Catan is an official and notable micronation, people like Kevin Baugh President of Republic of Molossia recognises Republic of Catan Principality of Sealand unofficially recognises us. We are part of online micronational groups. We are definitely not a hoax. A06jk2 (talk) 18:19, 21 March 2014 (UTC)


 * Delete No indication of notability through reference to independent media.  Acroterion   (talk)   18:22, 21 March 2014 (UTC)


 * Instead of deleting it why don't you help us find a way of making it a more notable micronation. A06jk2 (talk) 18:23, 21 March 2014 (UTC)


 * Because it's not Wikipedia's job to make things notable. Please read WP:NOT: Personal inventions. If you or a friend invented the word frindle, a drinking game, or a new type of dance move, it is not notable enough to be an article until multiple, independent, and reliable secondary sources report on it. Wikipedia is not for things made up one day. Valenciano (talk) 18:30, 21 March 2014 (UTC)


 * Delete for reasons I've explained in the reply above. Some bloke declares his bedroom to be an independent country. Great. But Wikipedia judges notability based on coverage in reliable sources. Unlike the Principality of Sealand, this one has no coverage in third party sources. A petition to recognise it has achieved the grand total of 7 backers. That tells us all we need to know about the lack of notability. Valenciano (talk) 18:27, 21 March 2014 (UTC)


 * I accept what your saying but we have actual land registered with the UK Government as "Republic of Catan State" ownership and we have real people, real weather. So why if the UK GOVERNMENT can Recognise a small piece of land as 'independent' i use ' for reasons they do not fully recognise it but they accepted the ownership change? Why wont Wikipedia accept it? A06jk2 (talk) 18:34, 21 March 2014 (UTC)


 * Ok Lets Say if no Decision is found by 19:00 on 21 March 2014 then we will say Wikipedia shall Not-Delete this article. A06jk2 (talk) 18:48, 21 March 2014 (UTC)

 * No, that is not how it works. It usually takes up to 7 days, then a decision will be taken (if not the article already have been deleted.) Please do not blank this page or remove the AfD-template on the article. (t) Josve05a  (c) 19:08, 21 March 2014 (UTC)


 * Ok so 7 days before this hopefully gets cleared up. Kind Regards and Many Apologies. A06jk2 (talk) 19:09, 21 March 2014 (UTC)

 * I agree with that deletion but the Republic of Catan has been in existance and I quoute here 'since 1999' making it a micronation that has been around for more than 10 years. Although "I don't think speedy deletion as a hoax applies (since micronations are almost by definition brought into existence by someone saying "I've created a micronation")" quote from the original post you just brought. 86.162.62.218 (talk) 19:31, 21 March 2014 (UTC) — 86.162.62.218 (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.

 * Delete. There is a lack of notability and there are hoax events as well.  Eye snore  (pc) 00:54, 22 March 2014 (UTC)


 * No you are denying a smaller nation (Micronation) a place in the international community when really who are you to comment on what or who people are. You go around Trolling sites to get pleasure. Its really sad if i'm honest. — Preceding unsigned comment added by A06jk2 (talk • contribs) 00:55, 22 March 2014 (UTC)
