Non-notable fictional subject. No sources external to the creator that I could find. Syrthiss (talk) 12:08, 10 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The island is real, and the declaration of independence is set to take place on August 11th 2012 with full local media coverage. BobaHat 13:46, 10 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- In other words, you've come to Wikipedia for all the wrong reasons. Your subject hasn't been documented by the world, doesn't even exist outwith the heads of its inventors; and you've come to Wikipedia to (a) try to make the subject exist, (b) document the undocumented, (c) promote your own creation that has not objectively become part of human knowledge, and (d) abuse Wikipedia as a free hosting service for the made-up stuff associated with a micronation. This is an encyclopaedia. You wouldn't go into a library and scribble things that you and a group of chums have just made up off the tops of your heads into an encyclopaedia there. Don't do it here. Go and get the world to independently and reliably document you, before even thinking of coming to Wikipedia. Wikipedia is not a free hosting service, nor is it for "cool" ideas that a gang of friends have just made up on the WWW one day. If the island were a real geographical feature, then a Wikipedia article would deal in the real geographical and political information about the island. Fact, not fiction.

Delete non-notable made up. For the record, "Larusia" is the uninhabited Danish island da:Flæskholm. The article and website give no coordinates or real name but the map and photo is of Flæskholm which has the right area and location. Flæskholm at Google Maps. A real Danish page: http://www.sydforfyn.dk/flaeskholm.htm. PrimeHunter (talk) 16:01, 10 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- It does make one wonder at what a Wikipedia writer armed with a copy of Damarks Småøer could do. ☺ Uncle G (talk) 16:35, 10 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

We don't appreciate being accused of 'abusing' Wikipedia. This was never our intent, and we would like you to accept that. We do, however, see your points, and we accept the deletion of this article. After our declaration of independence, we will return and re-post the article - with outside sources and links to media coverage of the event. BobaHat 8:08, 11 May 2012 (UTC)
WP:ILIKEIT. Sorry Boba, unfortunately the rules don't allow cool stuff like this. I recommend declaring war on random countries and invading them, that should be a quick way to get media coverage and notability per WP:GNG. Arcandam (talk) 00:17, 12 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
