Neologisms should be avoided. This one is born from recentism and can be encapsulated at 2010–2011 Arab world protests‎. Muboshgu (talk) 03:13, 16 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Yes of course, thank you for the correction. Actually, I agree Revolutionary wave is even better. Feezo (Talk) 05:47, 16 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
      • "It typically refers to a linked sequence of events where the time between successive events is relatively small. It can be used literally (an observed series of actual collisions) or metaphorically (causal linkages within systems such as global finance or politics)." Yes, there is a mechanical element in there, but it is also about the metaphysical domino effect. SilverserenC 04:26, 16 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Point of fact Muboshgu is correct (if you follow the links to the articles). The Domino effect article already linked to Domino theory as the Political version of the term. I have now added Revolutionary wave to the See also section of Domino theory. Flatterworld (talk) 06:31, 16 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
delete neologosim. doesnt warrant much notability. the arab world article covers the spread and a sentence to mention this phrase can fit there.Lihaas (talk) 07:40, 16 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

This article is very good information. I recommend either keeping it or if it must be moved than to merge it with "Domino Theory" article as a section called "Tunisia Effect". - 206.126.56.131 (talk) 21:08, 17 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Actually, I think this is a good article to keep... - 206.126.56.131 (talk) 21:24, 17 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

  • Merge/redirect — Even if it were a widely used term (which it isn't, to the best of my knowledge), it would still be better served as a redirect to the main article, with only a reference to the term in the lead section identifying it as a colloquialism for the effect of Ben Ali's overthrow. Master&Expert (Talk) 05:16, 18 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep - a very new word yes, but already cited in major media. 76.105.158.121 (talk) 14:07, 18 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment I do not really care whether this content is in a separate article or not, but it seems to me that all the current content in the article could be integrated into the last two sections of 2010–2011 Arab world protests without too much difficulty. You could also put a flag there <a name="Tunisia Effect"></a> to make sure that the new redirect in Tunisia Effect would always point to the correct place in the article regardless of what the last two section are named. Just a thought. 69.205.254.208 (talk) 23:05, 19 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep - It may be new but it is clearly not at risk of dying. The article should definetly be kept. It has too many views and edits from interested people.--68.115.190.162 (talk) 14:30, 20 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Merge and redirect to 2010–2011 Arab world protests. This will most certainly fit into a subtopic within the article that can preserve its content. Monsieurdl mon talk 15:28, 20 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Merge and redirect to 2010–2011 Arab world protests - this neologism is very specifically coined from the series of events in that article, and coverage and analysis of the term will fit best there, with a "see also" to the more general article on the phenomenon generally. FT2 (Talk | email) 16:14, 20 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep well sourced, with multiple non-trivial coverage, which means this topic is notable in and of itself, it should be mentioned in the 2010-11 MENE protests article but not merged as it is a unique topic.Thisbites (talk) 01:43, 21 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep Well set out and sourced with clear differnences from other articles —Preceding unsigned comment added by 85.210.41.130 (talk) 17:18, 21 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Merge and redirect to 2010–2011 Arab world protests. - per above really, not a widely used term. - Knowledgekid87 (talk) 22:34, 21 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep The article must not be deleted or redirected and need to be expanded, as it is an important article affecting millions of lives and there way of living. --Maheshkumaryadav (talk) 15:28, 21 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Merge and redirect to 2010-2011 Arab world protests - not a widely used term; content is fine, but would be better placed in the slightly more general article, which covers a clearly notable topic. I don't think that there is anything relevant to merge in to revolutionary wave. Warofdreams talk 12:43, 22 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Merge and redirect to 2010-2011 Arab world protests, there's no need to exist a independent article to describe the later-on effect only. Plus, I think the 2010-2011 Arab world protests ought to be merged into the revolutionary wave, instead of this one.--WWbread （Open Your Mouth?） 15:41, 22 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Merge and redirect into 2010-2011 Arab world protests. Brandmeister t 15:56, 22 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
