Provisional Government of the Republic of Cantonia[edit]

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Hoax article about a nonexistent "symbolic" "secret" government by "Cantonese supremacists" (?) Fails the General notability guideline by a long shot; has zero coverage in reliable independent secondary sources. PROD was contested by creator. Quigley (talk) 21:32, 11 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete: Wikipedia is not for things made up one day. Even if the creator of the article could produce a website, there must be verifiable objective evidence that the subject has received significant attention to support a claim of notability. Quigley (talk) 21:41, 11 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Delete: Also the original "primary" sources put into the article by the creator do not mention the existence of the "Republic of Cantonia" at all, being about unrelated stories of protests and riots. see here for the sources ΔΥΝΓΑΝΕ (talk) 21:44, 11 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Delete either a hoax or completely non-verifiable. Sergeant Cribb (talk) 21:48, 11 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

keep:I search "Republic of Cantonia" on Google, and found multiple sites, one of those sites is the official website of Republic of Cantonia. I believe that the organization is operating undercover. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Isuzu1001 (talk • contribs) 21:56, 11 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The only thing one would find from googling "Republic of Cantonia", are multiple internet forums and a facebook page- not WP:RS.google results for "republic of cantonia", from the main site google.com ΔΥΝΓΑΝΕ (talk) 22:01, 11 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

And a youtube channel presumably made by you or your class friends. -- 李博杰 | —Talk contribs email 03:44, 12 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
