Previously deleted, the sourcing is dubious and unreliable (see the previous AfD discussion). Already covered somewhere else and only exist for a very brief amount of time and not notable as its immediatly transfered to Japanese control. Nyanardsan (talk) 06:20, 15 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hard Delete - my mistake! Initially i've would have thought that this page could be revived with better sourcing via translation from the corresponding indonesian wiki. but i've come to a realization that there was the deletion discussion before (and that there was little to cite), thanks for the info!

i'd allow the deletion of this page. Kaliper1 (talk) 06:36, 15 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Perhaps creating a redirect to Gunungsitoli#Mid-to-late 20th century or Nias#World War II would encourage later contributions to be added to those sections. CMD (talk) 11:39, 15 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

Comment Since it was so short lived, its notability should be judged as an episode in history involving several significant events, rather as a republic. However, too much of the article relies on an Indonesian-language source that seems WP:FRINGE based on what Davidelit said in the previous AfD. I have asked Wikiproject Indonesia to take a look. small jars tc 18:04, 22 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Comment - If not a hoax or fringe theory, seems an encyclopedia-worthy topic with adequate sourcing to pass GNG. Sourcing is in Indonesian, however. I do not find the previous close as Delete to be compelling. Carrite (talk) 15:07, 27 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
