Question

What is the political stance and expected change to come from the new power change, and is it in fact a Revolution or simply a regime change? Armand Bogossian (talk) 06:49, 6 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Nonsensical image caption

"Oppositional signals spark the flag of Armenia, clamoring for the motto of the movement on 12 April, 2018"

What does that mean? That's not even a sentence. I'm guessing it's due to difficult Armenian->English translation, but that sentence doesn't make any sense. BrendonTheWizard (talk) 23:07, 21 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Reason?

What's the cause of the protests? Why do they want him gone? CsikosLo (talk) 13:34, 24 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Withdrawing my nomination to change the article's name. Mentioning its description as a revolution in the text is enough. BrendonTheWizard (talk) 20:18, 24 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Proposing article name modification

I propose changing the article name from 2018 Armenian protests to 2018 Armenian revolution Rationale is that sources are now referring to it as one Cheers! BrendonTheWizard (talk) 15:32, 24 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I am against this as I don't think a revolution has really happened. Sargsyan resigned, that's all. The ruling party is still in power with a majority in parliament, the acting prime minister (also from the ruling party) is the guy who was prime minister until Sargsyan was nominated. To be a revolution I believe the entire government would have to change, a la the colour revolutions that took place in Ukraine, Kyrgyzstan and Georgia. If the protests lead to snap elections and the ruling party changes, then I think it could be called a revolution. YantarCoast (talk) 19:58, 24 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Your point is well-made. I think it is enough to simply mention in-text that sources have described it as a revolution comparable to colour revolutions without actually changing the infobox or article title. I withdraw my nomination and instead support the inclusion of its description as one (similar to 2016 Macedonian protests noting that it was described by some as a revolution despite only concessions that don't truly replace the government).
