Scope?
editWhat exactly is the scope of this article supposed to be? The sections "anarchist movements" and "list of ungoverned communities" never mention the term "anarchy", so at first glance appear to be entirely synthetically attached to this article. The section on "state-collapse anarchy" doesn't appear to define such a term, or even have a source for it, so it appears to just be used synonymously with "failed state". As for the "Overview" section, it isn't clear how the "Anthropology" subsection relates to the concept of anarchy, and the inclusion of the "international relations" and "anarchism" sections seem to be entirely based on the relation of the two words, leaving only Kant's definition as an actually clear fit for the article.
In its current state, I have no idea what this article's purpose is and I'm not sure what it's trying to communicate either. I'm even left wondering how many of the sources verifiably use the term "anarchy". -- Grnrchst (talk) 17:59, 13 March 2023 (UTC)

- My recommendation hasn't changed: merge into Anarchism and move anarchy (disambiguation) to anarchy, as there is no "primary topic" for its different dictionary definitions. czar 04:46, 13 April 2023 (UTC)
Incomplete and biased
editThis entry seems fairly biased against anarchy and lacks much in the way of an applied understanding of the concept/outdated though foundational, and could at the very least use more contemporary examples and definitions from the late 19th century French anarchists up to modern movements and even redefinitions by Noam Chomsky, for starters. 2001:861:3D41:8B90:7C1C:440D:F559:D2CC (talk) 10:33, 7 June 2023 (UTC)
