Well, I would keep it; it's one of those terms which never seems to be used in the singular form. But I think the term can be used outside inter-country discussions, between trade union and company for example. Donnanz (talk) 10:01, 17 April 2015 (UTC)Reply
I would keep this, but add other supranational groups to the definition. It is also fairly common to find references to organized criminal gangs, ranging from street gangs to mafia families, having "peace talks". bd2412T15:06, 19 April 2015 (UTC)Reply
Let's look at some things that could be described as "peace talks" to test the boundaries of the definition:
A lecture series on the subject of peace
A negotiation between two former enemies to decide on managing and paying for things resulting from their peace treaty that weren't envisioned at the time it was signed (no return to conflict is likely if unsuccessful, however).
Discussions by allies in an armed conflict to come to agreement about how to respond to proposals by their common enemy when negotiations begin between the two sides.
Negotiations between a party in an armed conflict and a neutral third party in order to get them to help in resolving the conflict.
Negotiations between the two sides in an armed conflict for the purpose of ending the conflict.
The first one is clearly SOP and unrelated to the sense at hand, the last one is my version of the sense at hand (though "violent" could be substituted for "armed" to make it more general), and the others are variations in one or more aspects. Determining which ones are peace talks in the sense at hand, and how an average user of the dictionary would know that, should help tighten up the definition and/or make it easier to see if this is truly SOP.
