This is already a Category, which is suitable. There are, or should be, entries on each individual peasant revolt throughout history. This entry is not offering helpful information.
The expression "peasant revolt" is mostly used to describe the peasant revolts of feudal Europe. It has been lately expanded (like " peasant" itself to include other rebellions. This is now mentioned in the article, so I'm moving it back. And no, I don't want this article to be a member of category:Peasant revolts. Zocky 03:06, 30 Aug 2004 (UTC)
"Peasant" revolt, as a historicaly netural description of the events of 14th-16th century europe, went out of style .. well, it never was in style. Peasant is a pejorative term (as of the end of the 13th century). Historians call this period "Popular Rebellions" or "Popular Revolts" or "Popular uprisings". The name for the 1381 event is by convention called the Peasants' Revolt of 1381 although even this is often called instead The English Rising of 1381 (see Hilton). One must be careful in the usage of the word "peasant". It has negative connotations. The Category needs to be renamed as well.
As an aside, recent evidence in the past 10-15 years has shown that many of these "peasant" revolts were actually organized and led by people who were not peasants at all, but those who had the most to loose from increased taxations: the middle classes. Stbalbach 06:26, 1 Feb 2005 (UTC)

Surely Peasants' Revolt should be a redirect to here, rather than it is at present to the En glish revolt of 1381. This is anglocentric. PatGallacher ( talk) 15:18, 6 April 2008 (UTC)
Wasn't the revolution that brought Mao Zedong to power a peasant revolution? Peasants' revolution is a critical aspect of Maoism. Should we add that? Commissarusa ( talk) 22:06, 14 December 2009 (UTC)
Assessed as stub class due to incomplete coverage, lack of references and lack of any contextualisation (definition of what a distinguishes a peasant revolt from any other kind would be a good start) Monstrelet ( talk) 19:37, 28 August 2010 (UTC)
The very intro to the article shows that it cannot be a valid disambig page, per WP:MOSDAB. Because whatever title for the disambig page you select, half of entries will not fit it. Staszek Lem ( talk) 19:47, 13 May 2013 (UTC)
A widely accepted definition of a peasant revolt must be established and added to the article, since the current one is slightly ambiguous.This will determine which revolt should remain in the list.At this point the Wukan protests,Kościuszko Uprising e.t.c. seem a little out of place.-- Catlemur ( talk) 17:49, 23 June 2015 (UTC)
The result column is puerile. Makes history into a game, with clear winners and losers. History is not so simple and projecting it that way is POV. Even when a side "loses" they may have won in the longer term - it's a matter of perspective, time frame, context. -- Green C 17:06, 22 June 2016 (UTC)
Is this not the goal of lists? They only present basic information. In case you are interested in the "perspective, time frame and context" you visit the damn article.-- Catlemur ( talk) 20:59, 22 June 2016 (UTC)
The meaning of result should be clearly defined, otherwise winning or losing becomes subjective, and WP:OR. E.g. currently anti-Qin is listed as “win”, yet Li zicheng is listed as “lose”. However, peasant leaders were defeated and killed in both cases, and both dynasties collapsed. The winners in both cases were not peasants. So it was inconsistent. — Happyseeu ( talk) 13:46, 21 April 2018 (UTC)

Pitchforks to storm the Bastille. The French Revolution was a peasant rebellion.
Mao Zedong united the peasants to defeat the Republic of China in the Chinese Civil War. This was a peasant rebellion that established a new country.
