Not able to find anything on Google. May be a hoax, not sure.I am taking this to AfD in good faith because the article creator has over 2000 edits and appear to have familiarity with functioning of Wikipedia. Hitro talk 09:23, 22 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Comment it's a direct translation of the Dutch page which has been around since 2006 and had a few different editors. There's one Google result for the book that's used as a reference. Need a Dutch speaker here. Orange sticker (talk) 09:47, 22 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. There is only one reference, and it is not independent of the subject. Ira Leviton (talk) 16:45, 22 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Draft, this topic is definitely interesting and probably notable, but it doesn't have enough sources. If it never gets enough sources to meet notability guidelines, I suppose it just never leaves draft. Love, Cassie. (Talk to me!) 18:38, 22 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I suppose it just never leaves draft. That is simply not true, since drafts can only be stored for six months and after that they are deleted. See WP:Drafts#Deleting a draft. CycloneYoris ^talk! 20:42, 22 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Delete right now, it's got one source, and it's primary, as does the Dutch version, and a before search brings up plants. Happy to draftify if someone wants to work on it, but it's not good enough for mainspace at the moment. SportingFlyer T·C 20:14, 22 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Delete: I don't know if this is a hoax or a WP:MADEUP, but it clearly doesn't belong here. Owen× ☎ 20:57, 22 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. There are quite a few sources on Delpher yet these are not independent of the subject. The book is written by the person who lived in the huts so not independent either. The book or the author/builder may be notable yet that isn't the subject of this AfD. gidonb (talk) 21:20, 22 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Delete or Merge/Move It says it's imaginary in the article. It's a subject of the dudes life, and a book. I'm sure it's well covered in an article about the book, or the article about the guy. This just needs a redirect and done. Somebody should have just done this.James.folsom (talk) 02:35, 26 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Nothing to merge into. A move would technically be possible, however, the book or person are insufficiently the focus of the brief entry. So it is inherently wrong. Any such articles should already be a new effort. Moreover, the title is wrong as Huttonia was never a country. As a "micronation" it "is" an imaginary state. So this should not become a redirect of sorts. Delete makes most sense. gidonb (talk) 13:39, 26 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

James.folsom, I came here with the intention of suggesting a Redirect. Alas, neither the book nor its author appear notable enough for an article, leaving deletion as the only viable option. Owen× ☎ 13:51, 26 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry, I was a little brusque, I support delete if all other options don't exist. James.folsom (talk) 16:27, 26 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
