:”’Delete.”’ There is no such thing as a “Republic of Kabylia.” The MAK neither controls the territory it claims nor enjoys popular support or any form of international recognition, so any notion of a republic or declaration of independence is purely symbolic. I could declare a republic in my bedroom today and it would have the same status as this so-called Republic of Kabylia.

:*”’Keep”’ – While the ”Republic of Kabylia” is not a functioning state and does not control territory or enjoy international recognition, the article does not claim otherwise. It documents a ”proclaimed political entity” created by a long-standing government-in-exile, including its declared institutions, symbols, and the international reactions to its proclamation. |

|
::The subject has received ”significant independent coverage” from multiple reliable secondary sources (including ”Le Monde”, ”France 24”, ”APA News”, ”Asharq Al-Awsat”, and ”North Africa Post”), with analysis extending beyond simple announcement of the event. This satisfies ”WP:GNG” for political entities and declarations, including symbolic or unrecognized ones. |

::Merging the article into the ”Movement for the Self-Determination of Kabylie” or the ”Kabyle Provisional Government” would reduce encyclopedic value, as the ”Republic of Kabylia” as a proclaimed framework (its declaration, symbols, proposed institutions, and reception) constitutes a ”distinct topic”. The article can be kept with a clearly neutral scope describing it as a symbolic, unrecognized entity. -[[User:Flaspec|Flaspec]] ([[User talk:Flaspec|talk]]) 07:35, 3 January 2026 (UTC) |

This article fails WP:GNG. It relies on a single event (the symbolic “Kabyle declaration of independence” in Paris), while the vast majority of it is fluff that’s already covered in related articles. A standalone article requires notability beyond a single event. Panam2014 (talk) 14:02, 2 January 2026 (UTC)
