"Anarchism in Transnistria" has only a cursory existence, which is affirmed even by the article's lede. The only connections of anarchism to Transnistria are incidental:
- That Jack the Ripper, best known for murders in western Europe, was born in Tiraspol (his article, a FA, does not even use the word "anarchist")
- A passing mention of Tiraspol in Kropotkin's Mutual Aid
- That Tiraspol had a branch of the South Russian Group of Anarcho-Syndicalists (SRGAS), a group that is not independently notable
The remaining paragraphs have several sentences about Ukrainian and Romanian individuals wholly unrelated to Transnistria who have minor/incidental connections to Tiraspol. There is no depth of discussion about any inherent connection between Transnistria and anarchism in the sources used throughout the article.
I posted for discussion last May with no reply. There are no worthwhile redirect/merge targets, as none of the commentary is substantial for related articles. czar 16:23, 13 November 2018 (UTC)

- Keep - this article needs to be improved, but I don't think it warrants deletion. Skirts89 ( talk) 22:32, 16 November 2018 (UTC)

- Weak delete - Really torn on this one, there's a bit of something here and some decent sources backing it up, but there just doesn't seem to be much substance that couldn't be covered elsewhere. Nathan2055 talk - contribs 08:05, 20 November 2018 (UTC)
- Delete - WP should work through links, not through copy and paste. Briefly mention the anarchists in Tiraspol, and let interested readers follow those links. -- Oisguad ( talk) 20:31, 21 November 2018 (UTC)

- Every connection to Tiraspol is incidental—don't think it even warrants mention there. czar 17:46, 1 December 2018 (UTC)
