Woodland Patchwork

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

I was unable to find any substantial press coverage of a new nation splitting off from Japan. Since it uses bitcoins, there was a bit of coverage on bitcoin websites, and a few wikis. However I can't find substantive coverage in reliable sources. Delete for lack of reliable sourcing and lack of evidence of notability. (I should add that I don't speak Japanese, and am thus not able to search some key sources.) TeaDrinker (talk) 22:11, 12 January 2014 (UTC)

 * Delete. Some guy blogs in October that he has declared a chunk of Japanese wilderness a "sovereign, independent micronation". Generates a tiny bit of notice in the blogosphere by declaring Bitcoin its currency. He or some other SPA editor inserts this press release of an article into WP. I would also support speedy deletion under "G3. Pure vandalism and blatant hoaxes" and "G11. Unambiguous advertising or promotion". --Hobbes Goodyear (talk) 23:35, 12 January 2014 (UTC)
 * Delete. Unsourced hoax. --DAJF (talk) 23:56, 12 January 2014 (UTC)
 * Delete. Without any sources--and no reliable ones seemingly available after searching--such a controversial topic does not deserve to have an article on Wikipedia. Michitaro (talk) 03:01, 15 January 2014 (UTC)
 * Delete. I could find nothing in Japanese about this. --Cckerberos (talk) 09:31, 15 January 2014 (UTC)
