Russian Wikipedia article
The russian version of the article has a lot of information: https://ru.wikipedia.org/wiki/%D0%9F%D1%80%D0%BE%D1%82%D0%B5%D1%81%D1%82%D1%8B_%D0%B2_%D0%90%D1%80%D0%BC%D0%B5%D0%BD%D0%B8%D0%B8_%282015%29 --Sick Spiny (talk) 18:19, 23 June 2015 (UTC)
 * They don't need a russian propaganda. Watashi-wa (talk) 18:09, 24 June 2015 (UTC)
 * The Russian-language article does have a lot of information. At least, what I can get through the Google Translator is a thorough account of the electricity protests. The only question is whether the topic needs that much coverage here. EdJohnston (talk) 17:54, 29 September 2015 (UTC)

Background
I did not find in sources association between Pre-Parliament members arrest and current protests, so it is nesessary to divide article. Cathry (talk) 20:38, 25 June 2015 (UTC)
 * Strongly agree, interwikis also link to articles about Electricity price related protests. --Aleksey Chalabyan a.k.a. Xelgen (talk) 19:25, 26 June 2015 (UTC)

Requested move 12 September 2015

 * The following is a closed discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a move review. No further edits should be made to this section. 

The result of the move request was: Not moved. After 2015 is over it may be reasonable to combine a number of different protests into one article, the way it's been done for other years. For example, 2013 Armenian protests. In any case, since this move was proposed a new article has been created at Protests against the government and new constitution (Armenia). Now that there are two articles, the present article about electric rates is no longer our only article on 2015 Armenian protests. The target name is not free any more since it's been converted into a DAB, linking to the two separate protests. EdJohnston (talk) 23:44, 28 September 2015 (UTC)

Protests against a hike in electricity rates (Armenia) → 2015 Armenian protests – More correct and common name. See analogs: 2011 Armenian protests, 2013 Armenian protests. 109.108.251.119 (talk) 19:42, 12 September 2015 (UTC) --Relisted. EdJohnston (talk) 00:53, 20 September 2015 (UTC)

 * Oppose, now my substantiation that why I redirected to present name, because I wanted to create other article about Founding Parliament protests. --Vadgt (talk) 15:04, 20 September 2015 (UTC)
 * Oppose. Seems that since this RM has been opened, the proposed title was converted into a dab and would now be ambiguous with Protests against the government and new constitution (Armenia). Jenks24 (talk) 17:05, 28 September 2015 (UTC)


 * The above discussion is preserved as an archive of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on this talk page or in a move review. No further edits should be made to this section.

The title of the page, "Protests against a hike in electricity rates (Armenia)" does not meet the Wikipedia:Article titles guidelines for the following reasons:

It is not concise or natural—the current title just details the events that took place without naming it. For example, Occupy Wall Street isn't titled, "Tents on Zuccotti Park to fight inequality," but rather by its name. It is outdated—while this title accurately described the protest movement in its early days, when the article was written, it is no longer the most clear name for the series of events that have now become known as "Electric Yerevan"

Please let me know if you agree or disagree
