I'm concerned about the extent to which "quiet revolution" is actually used to refer to the events described in this article, and whether this is actually a distinct concept from or merely a reference to the Quiet Revolution of Quebec. It seems that Leo Varadkar was the first to have used the term in the context of Irish secularization, but would like to see more evidence of other sources referring to the various movements described in this article as a/the "quiet revolution", beyond simply quoting Varadkar. signed, Rosguilltalk 21:44, 31 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
I wondered the same. Moreover, even if the "Quiet Revolution" is broadly recognized, many of the citations (I checked one the other day, but I'm going to guess "many" :-) don't make a connection to the "QR" and in that sense their use is also OR/synthesis. (Update: Cites 1, 4, and 9 mention the QR in the title, but I can't find the term in any of the other linked sources.) Outriggr (talk) 23:19, 31 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Even of the ones that mention it in the title, it's not clear that they're not just echoing Varadkar, and it's not clear whether QR is just the pro-abortion vote, a wider set of changes, etc. I think a pertinent question, though, is what should be done with this article if the QR title is found to be OR? I notice that there's no article for Secularism in Ireland, so perhaps we could move this article there and do a rewrite to make it fit better? signed, Rosguilltalk 00:09, 1 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
@Mle4028:, it would be good to hear your thoughts as the main contributor to this article. signed, Rosguilltalk 00:11, 1 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Hi. Thank you for your comments. In requested articles I found a request titled “Quiet Revolution (Republic of Ireland)”. The request had some links to sources included in this article and suggested it as comparable to Quebec. I understand if this does not fit the regulations, as the term Quiet Revolution is unofficial - could cause some controversy. Perhaps the best way to go is, as you suggest, to retitle and rewrite it on Secularism in Ireland instead? Mle4028 (talk) 01:31, 1 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
