Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Sovereign State of Aeterna Lucina (2nd nomination)
It is not an ILIKEIT rationale - and please don't try and purport to think that that is what I am saying. Micronations are an interesting part of the political and geographical history of states and countries - Australia, in particular, has had a colourful history of micronations and attempts to secede (however pathetic they may be), and this particular attempt, while not as world-renowned as the Hutt River Principality, for example, is verified by multiple articles from newspapers and fulfills the  criterion, which is the agreed upon notability criterion for these articles. Wikipedia is not paper, and there is nothing to stop users from creating articles on notable secession attempts. I have explained already that the sources are multiple - and the fact that they are from the same paper is irrelevant. The Sydney Morning Herald is the state paper for where these events occurred, and you would expect that it would cover the events in question. The Daily Telegraph, the other major paper in NSW, does not have a publicly-accessible archive like the Herald does (so it won't show up in a Google search beyond about 8 days after the article is written), and not all of the Tele's articles are on Factiva and newspaper sites. I've found 12 articles on this micronation, and I'm happy to clean it up (although I haven't had time today), but the one thing that I will not stand for is being accused of doing something that I am not; nor to have people try and force extra standards upon article to get a point of view across. While the article in question needs proper citations (and I shall do that for you), it has three references from articles listed, plus a host of other sites at the bottom showing some of the alleged activities that have gone on (e.g. medal awarding, degree awarding, etc.) This particular micronation was the subject of a major tax fraud case in 1990 that questioned the legitimacy of the micronation's establishment itself - that is what makes it notable, and the sources show that the attempt was verifiable, and not something made up in a day (which should be deleted). Kingboyk, you have already said above that your suppositions of notability are based on your own opinion - that is why the |primary notability criterion exists - it is to stop feelings and personal emotion getting involved in debates like this. Let's all (including me) stick to what has been written, not personal feelings or "what I think is notable
