Merge to
Travis McHenry. There is some coverage
[1][2][3] but not much in depth. All coverage is about McHenry and his creations together, rather than just about Westarctic, and since he has 2 micronations he's the sensible target. An alternative merge/redirect target if McHenry was deleted would be
Territorial claims in Antarctica, but I think there's enough on him. --

Delete both this and
Travis McHenry (if it is added to this nomination). There's no independent coverage of this at all.

The first is unreliable (
iUniverse =
WP:SPS). The second appears to be just an amalgamation of Listverse.com "Top 10 XXX" clickbait articles. I suspect, but don't know, there will have been little-to-no fact checking of the original Top 10 articles, and likewise I doubt a small
[4] publishing company like
Ulysses Press (no WP page) will have gone through and fact-checked.

(3) Decent source for coinage (p.730), but no good for GNG.
(4) Listverse, covered above.
(5) Unreliable (source WP).
(6) Single mention. It appears to be a reproduction of
this, which in turn appears to merely be a list of winners in a "best coin" contest by
American Numismatic Association. Not useful for GNG.

Delete Microtation while some are, Micronations aren't *automatically* notable - anyone can create one!. There is no RS to note this as notable.

Not useful for GNG - same source as one you've already provived ( (6) above). Please review these sources before adding them.

(3) Article on MicroCon 2015. Picture of McHenry. Sentence fragment that mentions Westartica attended.
(4) Article on MicroCon 2015. Picture of McHenry. Sentence fragment that mentions Westartica attended.
(5) Same article as 4 - ignore.
(6) Top 10 list article. I'm not convinced these are useful for GNG, and I'm increasingly of the opinion that modern ones will likely just be sourced from WP, and hence unreliable.
(7) Article on MicroCon 2015. Single sentence mention, not suitable for GNG.
(8) Article on MicroCon 2015. Not even a whole sentence on it, not suitable for GNG.
(9) Another Top 10 list article. Very little information in it.

Keep Funny how people keep saying there are no sources when there are lots.

Delete. Fails basic
WP:GNG, specifically: "Significant coverage" addresses the topic directly and in detail, so that no original research is needed to extract the content. Significant coverage is more than a trivial mention, but it does not need to be the main topic of the source material. The only reliable source mentions are news-of-the-weird entries, none of them "significant".
