Hoax. SchuminWeb (Talk) 16:07, 2 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete - hoax. The only sources are its own website and "Microwiki", a post-what-you-like wiki full of made-up micronations such as the "Union Of Exstatic People", the "Armed Tyrannical Republic of Gariston" and "Mustachistan". Microwiki may be for micronations made up one day, but Wikipedia is not. Previously speedied in January as Grand duchy of Flandrensis. JohnCD (talk) 16:40, 2 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

- Delete as hoax. Edward321 (talk) 22:37, 2 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Please read micronations. There is also a micronation on Antarctica that Wikipedia accept, The Grand Duchy of Westarctica [1], please read the arguments why they accept this micronation [2]. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Niels Vermeersch (talk • contribs) 09:19, 6 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- In order to demonstrate notability, can you show "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject"? Also, see WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS and, if you are the Grand Duke, WP:COI. JohnCD (talk) 09:33, 6 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

- Delete A student's hoax [3] and not notable. Dougweller (talk) 11:48, 6 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- The fact that I’m a student has nothing to do with this! Yes I’m the founder of this micronation, but in the article Grand Duchy of Flandrensis I find nothing that refers that I promote my own interests WP:COI? --Niels Vermeersch (talk) 16:02, 6 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment The whole article promotes your own interests. Definitely a COI. Dougweller (talk) 17:14, 6 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
