Dictatorship?

Equivalent actions in many other countries have not been given that name right in the title. You won't even find an article titled "Stalin's dictatorship" or "Hitler's dictatorship", and you also won't find any other article where a king assuming power back from the parliament is called a dictatorship. NPOV requires a change of title. - Tenebris 12:16, 9 March 2013 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 207.112.29.98 (talk)

Not really: the "6 January Dictatorship" or its equivalents, as well as Šestojanuarska diktatura (in Croatian and Serbian) are widely used by scholarly sources. One contemporary text calls it the "Royal Dictatorship".[1] Also, note that the name essentially describes a well-defined event of turning a parliamentary democracy into an absolutist monarchy, rather than providing a generalized judgement of a political system (like the examples you supply).
