Anarchism in the Falkland Islands[edit]

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

The article opens with:

There are historically few or no known instances of modern anarchism in the Falkland Islands

Well, if there is no such thing as anarchism in the Falkland Islands, why should there be an article about it?

Most of the article discusses various incidents of rebellionr that took place in the Falklands, but none of those rebellions had any connection to anarchism. Then, there is a discussion of how certain anarchists felt about the Falklands War, but none of them were from the Falklands.

In essence, this article is not about Anarchism in the Falkland Islands, because there is no such thing as Anarchism in the Falkland Islands. We could just as easily have an article about anarchism on Mars. Carabinieri (talk) 03:42, 25 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. This article is confusing and seems to have very little encyclopedic to say, as the nomination has pointed out. JTdale ^Talk 04:22, 25 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Delete The article just gives a history of the Falkland Islands with a focus on various conflicts and historical government systems that might have sort of maybe vaguely resembled anarchism. There were a couple of books on anarchy that mentioned the Falkland Islands, but these were just passing mentions that were generally unrelated to anarchism.

Comment If you feel it worthy of deletion, go ahead. It is my opinion that you commit a grave mistake, though. Stamboliyski (talk) 14:28, 25 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I mainly created the article because the default template for "Anarchism in South America" included a redlink to it. Redirect to Anarchism in the UK? Stamboliyski (talk) 14:29, 25 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I appreciate the effort you've put into this article. However, it doesn't really read like an encyclopedia entry (for the reasons I listed). You could certainly publish the ideas that went into the article somewhere else. The problem I have with articles like this is that they conflate anarchism as a set of specific historic movements as well as the ideologies associated with those movements with vague notions of rebellion, protest, opposition to certain governments, or "statelessness".--Carabinieri (talk) 15:39, 25 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect to either Anarchism in the United Kingdom or History of the Falkland Islands. – Philosopher ^{Let us reason together.} 23:04, 30 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
