A micro-nation that is not the subject of substantial coverage; paxjones.com is not remotely a reliable source and the only other coverage appears to be Ophadano's own site. Created by an SPA. power~enwiki (π, ν) 01:52, 6 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete, with regret. The world could use more microstates, but the so long as the only source is paxjones.com, that's not sufficient. TheBlueCanoe 02:05, 6 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. The only sources I can find are about Kitwe itself. Hog Farm Bacon 02:56, 6 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete per above and nom. I'm half convinced this is just a media stunt.   // Timothy :: talk  04:34, 6 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete there is no evidence that this is a notable entity, or in any way a real thing at all.John Pack Lambert (talk) 16:48, 6 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • keep this is a new society in Zambia. Its founding document the Kitwe Charter was just certified on July 16,2020 by the Commissioner of Oaths for the Local Court in Kitwe Zambia. City State of Kitwe is a legal entity recognized by the Republic of Zambia. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Emmanuel Scuaze (talk • contribs) 09:12, 7 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
    • Being chartered by a local court in this way does not make one a "legal entity recognized by the Republic of Zambia", and being recognized legal entitites in the way this actully is is in no way a sign of notability.John Pack Lambert (talk) 12:52, 7 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
      • Do you know Zambian law? Also, the charter was not written by the Courts it was certified by the courts commissioner of oaths before being deposited to the Zambian parliament and Head of State. Zambian parliament has right to observer status during Kitwe Congres deliberations and does utilize that right which is clearly outlined by the articles of the Kitwe Charter. Furthermore, your misspelling makes your point hard to understand, but as far as and being 'recognized legal entities' in this way and not having 'notability' as you so eloquently put it quite honestly reveals you are ignorant of Zambian law or even basic international law. If you dont know what your talking about then why intercede? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Emmanuel Scuaze (talk • contribs) 16:31, 7 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Reply Emmanuel Scuaze a knowledge of Zambian law is not useful or important here even in the slightest bit. It matters as much as the price of tea in Los Angeles ($33/lb for acceptable Darjeeling). What is useful and important here is understanding Wikipedia guidelines and policies regarding but not limited to: WP:N, WP:V, WP:RS, WP:WWIN, WP:SPAM. Just as if I wish to live in Zambia, I need to understand the way Zambia works, if you wish to contribute here, you need to understand the policies and guidelines we work within in order to contribute productively and enjoyably.   // Timothy :: talk  17:40, 7 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
