[edit] Proposed merger with Artist-run initiatives

Support. There is certainly no need for both articles; which is merged with which I leave to others, though. --Mel Etitis (Μελ Ετητης) 20:50, 6 January 2007 (UTC)
See also the Artist collective article and the associated category. There is a lot of overlap across all these. AllyD 11:32, 14 January 2007 (UTC)
the term 'Artist-run space' excludes non-space based projects; 'Artist-run initiative' can include a much broader range of projects including web-based projects, publications and public projects. The article Artist collective may have crossovers, however an 'artist collective' usually refers to a collective creating collaborative artworks, rather than the Artist-run initiatives which facilitate broader projects such as galleries and publications.Maus23 10:08, 4 February 2007 (UTC)

That's not the point; only if both articles covered what the other didn't would there be some (though not overwhelming) grounds for not merging them. As This article seems to concern a sub-set of what the other article covers, it should be merged. --Mel Etitis (Μελ Ετητης) 12:20, 4 February 2007 (UTC)

The articles should not be merged as they should both refer to different cases. However they do need to be re-written in order to make it clear what they are and why they are different. I am starting to do this now. But these articles should not be merged simply because they have been badly clarified thus far. Thewombler 09:25, 17 July 2007 (UTC)Thewombler
