Rome 2.0

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

No evidence of WP:NOTABILITY by coverage in third-party source; not even a website for this group is mentioned, hence possibly even WP:HOAX. Constantine  ✍  21:18, 13 August 2018 (UTC) this is a Facebook group without wider significance as yet. Constantine  ✍  11:22, 14 August 2018 (UTC)

Keep-This is an article about a group of young linguistic scholars who live around the world, since their website is currently under construction, as is their kick starter campaign, the only remaining third party source is a Facebook page made by a fan. I have also added more sources discussing the subject of the evolution of the latin language to modern ecclesiastic latin, a subject that I feel is inadequately covered by this, or any other encyclopedia. I have also removed Rome 2.0 from the list of claimant nations or micro-nations, instead classifying it as a mainly academic phenomenon. Much of the accusation levied against this article is based on personal opinion and standards; specifically, use of the word "preposterous," to describe the legitimacy of a student-run organization.

Keep: Despite the diminutive Facebook group, the fact that this organization has an entirely fan-run and unaffiliated (though they call themselves "official") Facebook group shows that Rome 2.0 has notoriety outside of its circle, to garner a steadily growing base of support. The student groups behind Rome 2.0 are currently receiving attention from local reporters affiliated with the Harvard Crimson and the Register Forum.

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Delete per nom; the statement by the page's creator confirms this is not currently a notable organization. power~enwiki ( π,  ν ) 00:24, 14 August 2018 (UTC)
 * Delete. A search turned up nothing relevant about either the organisation or the self-proclaimed emperor. Fails WP:NORG. Narky Blert (talk) 12:04, 20 August 2018 (UTC)

 * Delete nothing against the group, they just don't appear to meet notability guidelines yet. - Scarpy (talk) 19:33, 21 August 2018 (UTC)
 * Delete - can't see any WP:RS coverage.Tacyarg (talk) 13:13, 22 August 2018 (UTC)
 * Delete sadly, as this sounds interesting. However, if the only remaining third party source is a Facebook page made by a fan then it's obviously not notable. Chetsford (talk) 20:05, 22 August 2018 (UTC)
 * Delete – this doesn't appear to have any relevance anywhere. For a long time there's been talk that the Vatican resembles the modern-day Papal States/Roman Empire and is, in fact, a successor to Ancient Rome more so than the actual city. The fact that this is a group doesn't make it any more notable. Redditaddict69 03:37, 29 August 2018 (UTC)
