message: The community projects section has been an issue for this list for a while. Not only is it almost entirely unsourced, but it's unclear how exactly the section fits under the branch of "anarchist communities", as the entries are largely self-managed social centers. Now I recently noticed that we already have a List of self-managed social centers, which is much better-defined and better-sourced, thanks to the tireless work of @Mujinga. Looking through our "community projects" list here, I see that many of the entries are in fact already in the list of self-managed social centers. So right now, this section serves as little more than an inferior duplicate of a much better list. As such, I propose we merge any entries in the "community projects" list that aren't already there into the list of social-managed social centers and delete the section. --Grnrchst (talk) 17:24, 11 January 2024 (UTC)
replies: text: I don't see this as a merger per se because the list article already exists. Any entries that belong in that list should be added, and if we remove all of those entries from the present section, what "community projects" would be left over (i.e., not eligible for merge)? czar 19:50, 12 January 2024 (UTC)

text: This page has certainly been updated since I last saw it. I agree with Grnrchst that an unreferenced list for "community projects" isn't great and I can imagine there will be a fair bit of overlap with List of self-managed social centers, but not all the social centres are anarchist by any means - for example Conne Island is/was antideutsch, Leoncavallo defines itself as "Leoncavallo Self-Managed Public Space" and is more autonomist than anarchist, Syndikalistiskt Forum didn't seem anarchist, more communist when I was there etc etc So I think we'd have to do it on a case by case basis, and also some of the ones here eg Jura Books seem more like a small anarchist infoshop/bookshop projects than a full-blown social centre with multiple activities going on. But at the same time I don't see what a bookshop necessarily has to do with communities such as Naissaar#Soviet_Republic_of_Naissaar; Coffee Strong looks cool but not even particularly anarchist, so the section has gone a bit out of control. In sum, merge and delete in the good way :) Mujinga (talk) 11:05, 22 January 2024 (UTC)
replies: text: I had another look, I'd say the only entries in the list that seem relevant to this page are Capitol Hill Occupied Protest, Slab City, California and Dial House, Essex Mujinga (talk) 20:01, 24 January 2024 (UTC)
replies: text: @Grnrchst, to close out this section, looks like you should feel free to do what you proposed czar 02:19, 6 February 2024 (UTC)
replies: text: @Czar; @Mujinga: I have merged all the remaining entries, with the exception of the CHOP, Slab City and Dial House. --Grnrchst (talk) 13:57, 15 February 2024 (UTC)
