Wangland

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Article had one citation and some original research or chest-thumping about who invented it on Facebook chat. Unlike the matters of a second Scottish referndum, London secessionism, a referendum on a United Ireland or anti-EU referendums in other countries, very little has been written about this "rump state". When we consider how many speculative articles have been written on the already said subjects, the coverage of "Wangland" on Google News is limited only to Wales Online mentioning the use of the word by the Washington Post. The other listed articles in the search are older news stories which feature in the search because they link to the article about the Washington Post. &#39;&#39;&#39;tAD&#39;&#39;&#39; (talk) 21:25, 29 June 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete - just someone's passing joke which doesn't seem to have become a notable concept. In terms of potential content, this article seems redundant to England and Wales. Robofish (talk) 23:08, 30 June 2016 (UTC)
 * Agree: Although E&W is currently a legal concept, if the worst happens and it becomes a rump state that article can be reworked into one on a sovereign country (assuming the entity by the name "United Kingdom" is formally dissolved). The idea of it being called Wangland, a name which satisfies neither country and has sexual connotations in their primary language, is far from likely &#39;&#39;&#39;tAD&#39;&#39;&#39; (talk) 01:55, 1 July 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete. The term is a neologism that has not caught on at all, and the concept of what would be left of the UK following the secession of all of Scotland, Northern Ireland and London has not, I believe, received sufficient coverage to be notable. I checked and could not find further coverage. A wider article such as Secession from the United Kingdom might be suitable, but this stub is not the basis for it.

 * Delete Arbitrary WP:CRYSTAL gazing based on a funny little chat/filler item, which catches the eye with ROI out-GDPing Scotland, but which is otherwise vacuous.FeatherPluma (talk) 22:52, 6 July 2016 (UTC)
