First, it's 'micronation', not 'microstate'; for example, San Marino is a microstate, whereas the Gay and Lesbian Kingdom of the Coral Sea Islands is a micronation. Of course, the name concern is secondary to actually including Micronations in the first place. Why is there a link to the 'national' anthem of Sealand? Micronations are hobbies, not countries, regions, or anything else worthy of inclusion in an important template of importance across the continent of Europe. Bastin 11:18, 27 July 2006 (UTC)
To Badagnani: Are you referring to List of special entities recognized by international treaty or agreement, referred to in the beginning of the Svalbard article?
Is your source for claiming that Svalbard has its own national anthem (which happens to the same as the country its a part of) that Svalbard is included on that list?
After reading that list, can you explain why Svalbard is on it? Can you explain why Svalbard is "special" or "political" or what the connection between Svalbard and Hong Kong is or why in whole world, why are these four things special and nothing else? Can you explain why there are four entries on that page and not 3 or 5 or 500?
So far I not seen any proof of Svalbard having its own national anthem. Just a claim that Svalbard is "special". Are people just making up facts (very " original research") and putting them into Wikipedia? – TS 08:17, 22 August 2006 (UTC)
Is there any good reason why the EU and its member states should be listed first? And if there is a good reason, why then does this not apply to the non-sovereign territories so that such territories within the EU are listed above other European states? I prefer the previous alphabetical arrangement, myself. Man vyi 05:37, 9 May 2007 (UTC)
Seeing that the anthems of many non-sovereign entities are included in the template, shouldn't Romani anthem also be there? - prezzey ( talk) 21:15, 16 February 2008 (UTC)
Does "On Ilkla Moor Baht'at" really belong in the list of unofficial National Anthems of Europe? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.4.12.211 ( talk) 00:04, 11 January 2009 (UTC)
I thought in the "other political entities" category, you were supposed to list the sovereign state that has power over the entity. Therefore, "Gibraltar" should have a "UK" written next to it. Look at the entry for Greenland, for instance. There's a "Denmark" listed next to it, even though Greenland normally is not listed as an integral part of Denmark; its territory is never added into mainland Denmark. Therefore I feel that Gibraltar should have a UK next to it. Inkan1969 ( talk) 02:03, 29 January 2009 (UTC)
Can Tyneside be classed as a nation in any sense of the word? 2.28.113.176 ( talk) 05:33, 17 June 2013 (UTC)
If we have Transnistria's national anthem listed, shouldn't Donetsk and Lugansk's anthems be listed too? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.246.29.106 ( talk) 00:44, 26 June 2016 (UTC)
I don't think EU members should be listed separately from the others. EU is a political entity and this is a cultural topic. – Alensha talk 02:50, 19 October 2017 (UTC)
This is not a box about national anthems and should be renamed to show that, which I will do. Sirhissofloxley ( talk) 22:25, 19 October 2021 (UTC)
