Iustus Republic Reply

I don't have an issue with micronations per say, however given that the only sources provided are either self-created or a wiki-based source (which anybody can edit or add information - i.e. no real editorial oversight), with most of the information only added by yourself in the last few weeks. If you can provide some independent reliable secondary sources to show that this is not just something that you have made up then you may be able to show that the article and the subject are notable however at this stage you've provided nothing to show otherwise.

Sources such as MicroWiki are not considered as reliable sources as they are largely user-generated (see WP:UG). As I indicated above the information contained on the MicroWiki relating to the Iustus Republic, appears to be all generated by yourself - which is essentially a primary source or original research, either way it is not acceptable for Wikipedia. In addition there is the issue of whether you have a confict of interest. Dan arndt (talk) 09:33, 4 July 2018 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Draft:The Iustus Republic

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on Draft:The Iustus Republic, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, group, product, service, person, or point of view and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become encyclopedic. Please read the guidelines on spam and Wikipedia:FAQ/Organizations for more information.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator. Legacypac (talk) 05:03, 15 October 2018 (UTC)
