I agree.  Not having reviewed the articles in question, I would say
that if they are nonserious or frivolous, they should go, and not
because of any concern for *space constraints* (i.e. wiki is not
paper) but because of concern for our mission (i.e. wikipedia is an
encyclopedia).

If there are "micronations" that have some kind of real importance, we
should report on them.  But if they are just an in-joke among several
otherwise unimportant friends, then no.
