Its an original synthesis of a neologism catching a way too loose association of protests across many countries and years. Dentren | Talk 15:32, 4 May 2022 (UTC)

- Keep: There does seem to be a bit of sources referring to this wave of protests as the Latin American Spring, enough so that I am convinced the article can exist in a way that is not as susceptible to WP:OR issues as this is currently. Here are my WP:THREE to show that the concept exists: TartarTorte 20:22, 5 May 2022 (UTC)
- Comment: As for the three sources, the third one is an opinion piece titled "A Latin American Spring?", note the question mark. The first one writes "The “Latin American Spring” refers to the wave of demonstrations" with citations marks, which would not be needed if it was an established term. Two articles and opinion pieces in English is not enough to establish the existence of a "Latin American spring". The fact that many reputabe sources refers to this with either citations marks or questions marks (both English and Spanish sources) clearly point out some hesitancy on using the label.

- Whether or not the term is agreed-upon as an event does not seem to particularly relevant so long as the concept is discussed as a concept. After all, we have an article about things like the Phantom time hypothesis and New chronology, which are both demonstrably false, but there is discussion about them as a topic regardless, so they're notable.

- Delete. As it currently stands, the article appears to be WP:OR, and the shown references are not enough to show this term is commonly used for such a wide number of protests (which span a variety of issues). Isabelle 🏳🌈 22:35, 13 May 2022 (UTC)
