Talk:2020 Iranian Revolt

Contested deletion
This article should not be speedy deleted as being recently created, having no relevant page history and duplicating an existing English Wikipedia topic, because the 2020 Iranian Revolt refers to the series of protest in response the Iranian government's shooting down of the Ukrainian airplane. The user trying to delete this page is confusing these protest with the 2019 protests which is a completely different event which occurred months earlier. The 2019-2020 Iran protests refers to the protest in Iran that took place in response to the Iranian government's hike in oil prices. The protest were largely concluded much prior to the 2020 Iranian revolt which occurred as a result of the Ukrainian plane being shot down by Iranian missiles. Therefore the 2020 Iranian Revolt refers to the student movement and related protest that took place in response to the downing of the Ukrainian plane and the resulting call by Iranians to end the Islamic Republic. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Lightofiran (talk • contribs)
 * Which of the references cited calls the current protests the "2020 Iranian Revolt"? I can't find a single mention of "2020 Iranian Revolt" in a reliable source online. Freezer Bernie (talk) 22:56, 15 January 2020 (UTC)


 * The name is self explanatory, it is the revolt against the Iranian government in 2020. The 2019 Iran protests were never called the 2019 Iran protests in articles either. I was the one who created the 2019-2020 Iran protests page to begin with. The name can be changed if you'd like however the page must remain distinct and separate from the 2019-2020 Iran protests.
