We have already 2017–2019 Iranian protests at hand, where both political and economic protests are covered. Seems like a redundant duplicate to me. --Mhhossein ^talk 13:44, 16 January 2019 (UTC) Mhhossein ^talk 13:44, 16 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - some background on this can be found in a discussion/merge proposal here from earlier last year, which petered out without any conclusion. Either way, if the nom statement is correct, the proper course of action is merging, not deleting. ansh 666 22:22, 17 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the insight ansh. Please note that this main article was moved to the proper tile and I don't think we can have a title covering 2018–2019 protests since we're just in Jan 2019 and there's no unrest, unless users are predicting protests in 2019. --Mhhossein ^talk 08:49, 18 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - there is quite a bit of overlap with the 2017–18 Iranian protests page, and I'm sure some redundancies could be dealt with by merging the topics. That said, I also worry that too much will be crammed in a small space, and a split will eventually be required anyways. I see two ways to split the topic: by year (having 2019 be separate, perhaps), or by separating strikes and protests, with strikes being a subtopic nestled under the general protests topic. 31.54.34.61 (talk) 04:08, 20 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. At most this should be a merge of the two articles - there is no basis for deletion (labor strikes aren't covered in 2017–18 Iranian protests). I am, however, weakly opposed to a merge of the two since 2017–18 Iranian protests is on political anti-regime protests, whereas this article - 2018–2019 Iranian general strikes and protests - is on strikes (and protests) related to labor relations. Furthermore, looking at other wikis - notably including the Persian wiki - it seems editors on other wikis see these as distinct as well. Icewhiz (talk) 08:02, 30 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. Some cleaning up is needed but deletion is not yet the answer for a notable topic. (Dushan Jugum (talk) 08:31, 30 January 2019 (UTC)).[reply]
Keep. Per sources and the info they provide. This seems to be part of a series of strange AfDs concerning Iran politics. Stefka Bulgaria (talk) 23:57, 30 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. Per Stefka. --HistoryofIran (talk) 00:03, 31 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Merge. I, myself, feel that the protests are not separately notable, but I do emphasize with the points made by Icewhiz. 100% against delete, though. ―Matthew J. Long -Talk-^☖ 00:06, 1 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Keep and expand beyond a timeline of events. KingAntenor (talk) 17:16, 4 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
