This neologism has no wider use outside of the title of the Time article whence it came. There isn't a school or followers of "infoanarchism". It isn't used at Ian Clarke (computer scientist)—the subject of the Time article—or any closely related concept: crypto-anarchism, free culture, etc. Even if the term was used in any cursory form outside this Wikipedia entry, we don't have a more established encyclopedia topic for "people opposed to intellectual property and censorship" to make for a decent redirect retarget (the criticism would just be covered in the parent article), hence the rationale for outright deletion. czar 04:38, 16 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]
