Cultural anarchism[edit]

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Neologism. No reliable sources can be found which equate "cultural anarchism" with "social anarchism". The Social anarchism page does not refer to it as an alternate name. Search shows OR findings such as this, this, and this. Taroaldo (talk) 23:16, 8 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

This article never equates social anarchism to cultural anarchism. This article should not be deleted. Nashhinton (talk) 23:20, 8 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Never? The original diff on which I commenced the AfD template says "Cultural anarchism, or social anarchism..." You changed "social" to "moral", but the overarching issues remain the same. Cultural and moral anarchism both appear to be neologisms. Taroaldo (talk) 23:35, 8 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

How do you know this is a neologism? Many books or articles have already been written on the topic with the possible inclusion of the term cultural anarchism. This Wikibook seems to have cultural anarchism included in its text. See this link: http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Anarchist_FAQ/What_is_Anarchism%3F/3.6. I actually received my source of "cultural anarchism from that Wikibook, which is a subsidiary website of Wikipedia. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Nashhinton (talk • contribs) 23:45, 8 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I removed the term "social anarchism" from the original draft because I recently discovered that the term has already been taken on another page- See: social anarchism. Nashhinton (talk) 23:40, 8 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

This article is about moral or cultural anarchism, not Anarcho-socialism, or social anarchism, which evidently deals with an entirely different suject. Cultural anarchism is the absence and complete nullification of social and cultural norms and regulations. Thanks for your time. Nashhinton (talk) 23:26, 8 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I actually received the source from cultural anarchism from a wikibook in this link. http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Anarchist_FAQ/What_is_Anarchism%3F/3.6. Again, thanks for your time. Nashhinton (talk) 23:29, 8 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

And that establishes that it is not a neologism how? Taroaldo (talk) 23:43, 8 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Can you please desist the supercilious, snide remarks. Thanks. Nashhinton (talk) 23:46, 8 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I'm sorry if you feel any remark I've made is "snide". In fact, everything I've said has been said seriously and in good faith. I do not see evidence of sufficient reliable sources to indicate the term has entered widespread usage. You can refer to Reasons for deletion number 6 and also review information on neologisms. Taroaldo (talk) 00:01, 9 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Well, I agree that the term has not entered widespread usage and is thus a neologism. But the concept has existed for quite some time now. I have also observed that many Wikipedia article entries are neologistic in nature. Utility fogs are an example, I assume. You can proceed the deletion process, if that's what needs to be done. Thanks for your time. Nashhinton (talk) 00:14, 9 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Delete This is not a neologism but the topic is better done at cultural liberalism or permissive society and the title would tend to be confused with artistic movements such as Dada. Warden (talk) 10:14, 9 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

Delete Notability not supported by secondary sources. Besides that it seems like anarchism itself must include what this article calls "cultural anarchism." You can't have no government without no government regulation of culture. Steve Dufour (talk) 21:31, 22 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Google Scholar turns up a few dozen publications containing the phrase, but they don't seem to be using the term in the same sense as this article—they mean "cultural chaos" rather than lack of regulation of culture. I can't find any sources there (or elsewhere) which give significant treatment to the particular idea discussed in this article. —Psychonaut (talk) 15:19, 1 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
