Non-notable 'micronation.' A WP:BEFORE search indicates virtually no coverage in independent, third-party reliable sources, [1]. Only sources are WP:PRIMARY, and as such lack the required persistence and depth of coverage required to pass WP:N. Incidentally, per WP:VNT, this is verging, I think on a WP:HOAX; at least, WP:A11 ('Obviously made up by creator, and no claim of significance') may apply. — O Fortuna^{semper crescis, aut decrescis} 11:04, 19 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Most peculiar sourcing - seems to consist principally of pieces in the homegrown propaganda bulletin, mixed up with blogs and what appears to be the Dutch Deletionpedia equivalent (?). And do my eyes deceive me, or are several of these pieces authored by the editor who created this article? This is a miasma of COI and makes no credible claim for notability. --Elmidae (talk · contribs) 11:43, 19 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Delete as not notable hoax. --Yopie (talk) 12:50, 19 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - non-notable, sourcing sucks, possible hoax, created by COI/POV editor. Beyond My Ken (talk) 13:57, 19 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Comment: While I am aware that some people consider micronations a hoax, that really doesn't matter here. Many hoaxes have a page on Wikipedia, as do many micronations. Paraduin's activities, meanwhile, are very real, and my COI has been properly declared. Guido den Broeder (talk) 15:10, 19 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]
