[edit] Anarchism_(word)

This simply lists a lot of stuff, it should really be at the Anarchism (disambiguation) page. As such I see no reason for it to stick around. harrismw 06:21, 8 Jun 2005 (UTC)

• Transwiki to wiktionary. Blackcats 09:58, 8 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  • Wiktionary has had anarchism since 2003-09-03. In any case, this isn't about the word at all. The article is mis-titled. Uncle G 13:22, 2005 Jun 8 (UTC)
• This isn't disambiguation. It isn't disambiguating between different encyclopaedia articles entitled Anarchism. We already have a anarchism (disambiguation) for that (although it doesn't seem to be actually disambiguating between multiple articles by the same title, either). Nor is it about the word "anarchism". This is a list of movements and organizations that in some fashion or other profess, by their titles, to be anarchist. We already have a list of anarchist organizations for that. If you want to have "These aren't anarchist organizations!"/"Oh yes they are!" arguments, find some way of settling them on that page, without POV forking. Merge if GFDL requires it, which given the histories and the contexts in which this is mentioned on talk pages seems unlikely. Delete as useless and mis-titled fork otherwise.

• Delete : did I say this is really getting silly? Saswann 13:54, 8 Jun 2005 (UTC)
• I would say Delete... the edit-war between the capitalists and the socialists has unfortunately spawned an excess of articles with no logical reason for existence. *Dan* 14:00, Jun 8, 2005 (UTC)
• Delete Another fluff page, product of this never-ending revert war. Kev 20:18, 8 Jun 2005 (UTC)
• Delete per Uncle G. carmeld1 04:37, 9 Jun 2005 (UTC)
• Delete unnecessary fork. JamesBurns 07:11, 9 Jun 2005 (UTC)
• Delete, though having a redirect to the actual disambiguation page might help in discouraging recreation. -- Jonel 19:06, 9 Jun 2005 (UTC)
• Comment: This listing, and any problems with the article itself, are simply symptoms of the ongoing POV war in the anarchism wikispace. Wikipedia needs a conclusive means of resolving POV wars. — Phil Welch 00:45, 11 Jun 2005 (UTC)
