A non-notable micronation. Maybe a hoax? [[User:Lugia2453|Lugia2453]] ([[User talk:Lugia2453|talk]]) 18:14, 21 March 2014 (UTC)


The Republic of Catan is an official and notable micronation, people like [[Kevin Baugh]] [[President]] of [[Republic of Molossia]] recognises [[Republic of Catan]] [[Principality of Sealand]] unofficially recognises us. We are part of online micronational groups. We are definitely not a hoax. [[User:A06jk2|A06jk2]] ([[User talk:A06jk2|talk]]) 18:19, 21 March 2014 (UTC)

* '''Delete''' No indication of notability through reference to independent media. '''<font face="Arial">[[User:Acroterion|<font color="black">Acroterion</font>]] <small>[[User talk:Acroterion|<font color="gray">(talk)</font>]]</small></font>''' 18:22, 21 March 2014 (UTC)

* Instead of deleting it why don't you help us find a way of making it a more notable micronation. [[User:A06jk2|A06jk2]] ([[User talk:A06jk2|talk]]) 18:23, 21 March 2014 (UTC)

:Because it's not Wikipedia's job to make things notable. Please read [[WP:NOT#OR]]: '''Personal inventions.''' If you or a friend invented the word ''[[frindle]]'', a drinking game, or a new type of dance move, it is not [[Wikipedia:Notability|notable enough]] to be an article until multiple, independent, and reliable secondary sources report on it.

*'''Delete''' for reasons I've explained in the reply above. Some bloke declares his bedroom to be an independent country. Great. But Wikipedia judges notability based on coverage in [[WP:RS|reliable sources]]. Unlike the [[Principality of Sealand]], this one has no coverage in third party sources. A [http://www.change.org/en-GB/organisations/republic_of_catan petition] to recognise it has achieved the grand total of 7 backers. That tells us all we need to know about the lack of notability.

*I accept what your saying but we have actual land registered with the UK Government as "Republic of Catan State" ownership and we have real people, real weather. So why if the UK GOVERNMENT can Recognise a small piece of land as 'independent' i use ' for reasons they do not fully recognise it but they accepted the ownership change? Why wont Wikipedia accept it? [[User:A06jk2|A06jk2]] ([[User talk:A06jk2|talk]]) 18:34, 21 March 2014 (UTC)

*Ok Lets Say if no Decision is found by 19:00 on 21 March 2014 then we will say Wikipedia shall Not-Delete this article. [[User:A06jk2|A06jk2]] ([[User talk:A06jk2|talk]]) 18:48, 21 March 2014 (UTC)
