The result was delete. As Bearcat says, if anyone was genuinely looking for this, they'd probably look at Walesa's article first. Black Kite (talk) 13:59, 28 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Seems like pure WP:NOTNEWS. A politician mentions a hypothetical scenario, this gets coverage because the proposed scenario is so weird, but it doubtful anyone will mention it ever again. This is simply the case of media covering an aspect of a politician's speech, but it is unlikely the speech itself is notable, and the concept - even less so.

  • Redirect to Lech Wałęsa. The actual content of this entry belongs in the section "Lech Wałęsa#Post-presidency" for the year of 2013. The coverage in the media of what he said in 2013 was substantial, but this isn't real. Poeticbent talk 13:51, 18 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Redirect per Poeticbent. Wałęsa's statement received some attention, and (while respecting due weight) it bears mention in his article, but there's absolutely no independent coverage of this fantasy-future nation as a concept separate from him.

  • Delete. If there were any genuinely serious organized campaign of trying to make this happen, then it would probably warrant an article — but if all we've got is one politician spitballing in one speech, then there's no need for a standalone article about it. And the unlikely event that any significant number of readers was actually looking for this, they'd already know who said it and look for it in his BLP before expecting a separate article — so I just don't see what purpose a redirect would actually serve.
