Page has multiple problems. It is a content fork of Anarchism in the United States. It violates copyright as much of the content is largely copied from this text. It is very poorly sourced, biased and badly written. Vectoor (talk) 00:53, 23 September 2015 (UTC)

 * Speedy delete as copyvio and nevertheless delete as POV fork - David Gerard (talk) 11:11, 23 September 2015 (UTC)
 * Redirect to Anarchism in the United States. There is not any useful, sourced content here that could be merged to the other article without reducing its quality, so in this case I think a redirect is best, since the two titles are so similar. -- Biblio worm  15:26, 23 September 2015 (UTC)
 * Delete (or redirect per Biblioworm). The whole thing seems to be an ESSAY arguing that various things were anarchy, when they were not.  Anarchy is about the rejection of law as a principle.  This is largely about attempts to set up alternative societies and lawlessness in the wild west.  The author who has been COPYVIO-ed would seem to have been trying to fit history to his concept, which is all the wrong way around.  Peterkingiron (talk) 22:30, 23 September 2015 (UTC)
 * Delete this article. Unless there is a rock song called "Anarchy in the United States" there is no point to this article and the contents are mostly conjecture and essay like affirmations.--Eduen (talk) 03:57, 24 September 2015 (UTC)
 * Delete as a fork. Okay to leave a redirect for Anarchism in the United States. Carrite (talk) 15:47, 28 September 2015 (UTC)
 * Delete as a POV fork and a copyvio. -- Sam Sailor Talk! 08:16, 30 September 2015 (UTC)
