[edit] Peasant revolt

Transwiki As far as I can see, this article consists of two parts, a dictionary definition which should be placed into the Wiktionary (I think I did a reasonable job of doing that), and an incomplete list of peasant revolts that are a subset of the ones included in Category:Peasant revolts and Category:Medieval popular revolt. Frankly, I don't see how the present article could hope to be more than this, as the individual revolts have nothing in common except the dictionary definition, but as a first effort to see if anyone might have more imagination than me, I applied the {{Move to Wiktionary}} template to the article, only to have it repeatedly removed, so I'm bringing this to AfD sooner than I otherwise would have, as I would have preferred to give it longer for someone to make a real article of it if possible.

• Keep—an important historical phenomenon that must have an article. The fact that the article is presently so poor is shameful, but now someone's trying to get rid of it altogether? Needs expansion, and lots of it, not deletion. Everyking 14:22, 15 September 2005 (UTC)
• Keep and make it a Disambiguation page. Lists of Revolts are handled by Categories. Essays about Revolts are handled by articles where revolts have common features (such as the medieval period). Other revolts (Latin American, Russian, SE Asian) should have their own articles. The topic is very wide and this should disambiguate the reader to the correct location.

• Keep. An extremely important topic that has drawn much attention from historians in recent years. There have been several important studies looking at peasant uprisings in a global context, which is what this page should cover. - SimonP 15:12, 15 September 2005 (UTC)

• Keep -- This is clearly more than a dicdef. See: It is most well known in European history, but also has application in the history of other regions of the world, as well as modern day use... this clearly shows a way to obvious expansion is for the article to explain the documented history, and explain the modern day use -- it is at least a stub. --Mysidia (talk) 14:07, 18 September 2005 (UTC)
