The Republic of Offtask

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

I tagged this for speedy deletion under G3 but it has been sitting there for several hours now, so I guess there was enough uncertainty in people's minds for them to neither reject the proposal nor delete the article.

My proposal was that the article was blatant misinformation, and the doubt might be "but in fact it could be a micronation". Indeed I was probably wrong since I have found, for example, that there is a street in London which claims to be a micronation (and the article easily survived an AfD).

So I have withdrawn my speedy delete proposal and brought the article here instead. "The Republic of Offtask" has a website and that is the only reference I can find. I will propose the article here on the grounds of lack of notability and verifiability. Jll (talk) 09:49, 3 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete as an idle fancy thought up by a schoolboy/girl a few weeks ago: The Republic of Offtask (also known as just Offtask) is a micronation with a republic government established by Kai Tamkun at 5:55 PM, Sunday, January 11 (12317070689). It comprises of approximately Kai's house, and the life lab in Gateway school. Well done, Kai; now get it into the Santa Cruz Sentinel. Morenoodles (talk) 10:34, 3 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete: no reliable source coverage, unlike notable micronations. This is indeed MADEUP.  Baileypalblue (talk) 12:11, 3 February 2009 (UTC)
