Should the page be renamed? edit
From Al-Jazeera, February 28:
Haiti is in the throes of a political crisis.Opposition leaders are disputing the mandate of President Jovenel Moise, whose term most legal experts and civil society groups have said ended on February 7. But the president and his supporters say his five-year term only expires in 2022.
The situation has rapidly devolved since Moise made clear he would not leave the presidency this month, with government officials alleging a failed coup took place. Nearly two dozen people were arrested, including a supreme court judge and a senior police official.
Protesters angered over the president’s refusal to leave office met a crackdown in Port-au-Prince, the capital. Journalists have been injured while covering the rallies. Anger and frustration have continued to boil over into the streets. [1]
It seems to me that the political crisis is more notable than the "alleged" coup attempt, and should probably be what the article is titled about. power~enwiki (π, ν) 23:56, 10 March 2021 (UTC)
- Absolutely. A rename would avoid any possible original research and in accordance to WP:NEUTRALTITLE. It's necessary to evaluate if the content is relevant enough to have an article on its own and if it isn't better to merge it to related articles, such as the 2018–2021 Haitian protests, but a rename would be an important improvement. --NoonIcarus (talk) 10:34, 13 March 2021 (UTC)

2021 Haitian coup d'état attempt → 2021 Haitian political crisis – WP:NEUTRALTITLE, apparent most common name used in sources. NoonIcarus (talk) 10:02, 1 April 2021 (UTC)
- I'm having a hard time finding more sources about this topic, but this news report from the United Nations says "Haiti has been in the grips of a renewed crisis since Parliament ceased to function in January 2020". – Thjarkur (talk) 10:41, 1 April 2021 (UTC)
- Oppose - No real case made that sources most commonly refer to it as a "crisis", sources in the article all refer to it as a "coup". FOARP (talk) 18:26, 1 May 2021 (UTC)
