Sealand sports

 * – (View AfD) (View log)

Trivia dressed up a serious article, with no independent reliable sources cited. Sealand is in fact a small platform off the coast of the UK, and whilst it's no doubt appropriate to have an article on Sealand itself, this is mere fluff. kingboyk 08:12, 5 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete Merge edited down contents to Sealand.  Minature golf on an offshore platform is not notable.  --Work permit 19:11, 5 May 2007 (UTC)
 * I don't think the sports actually take place at "Sealand", these people "represent" the "country" when playing, that's all. --kingboyk 11:25, 6 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete or Merge and redirect any usful content. A few games played on a legally disputed micronation are by no means notable alone. Mart inp23  22:50, 5 May 2007 (UTC)
 * keep, the phenomenon has been picked up by secondary sources Night Gyr (talk/Oy) 03:58, 6 May 2007 (UTC)
 * That's one article about the "Viva World Cup", in which Sealand is mentioned. Maybe the "Viva World Cup" is article-worthy, I don't know. --kingboyk 11:26, 6 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Merge verified and trimmed content to Sealand. We don't need a separate article on this trivia. Hut 8.5 16:10, 7 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete is first choice, but no strong objection to a merge... if reliable sources can be found. Andrew Lenahan -  St ar bli nd  01:12, 9 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Merge back to Principality of Sealand page. A second article is not needed. Unidyne 02:17, 9 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete, trivia.  &gt; R a d i a n t &lt;  12:31, 9 May 2007 (UTC)
