Merging articles on Constitutional Democratic Rally (RCD), Socialist Destourian Party, Neo Destour and Destour[edit]

The following discussion is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section. A summary of the conclusions reached follows.
No consensus on a particular course of action, and no support for more than a year, with arguments against. Key issues unresolved issues are (a) whether the policies of Constitutional Democratic Rally, Neo Destour and Democratic Constitutional Rally are sufficiently distinct to be indepentently notable, and (b) whether a Destourianism article could appropriately cover all of the parties. Klbrain (talk) 22:30, 1 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

It has been suggested that the present articles on the Constitutional Democratic Rally and on Neo Destour be amalgamated. It would seem logical, as the RCD was a reconstitution of Neo Destour, to merge the two articles, provided proper automatic linking in inserted. It might follow logically that the articles on Destour (the original party) and Socialist Destourian Party should also be merged into this combined article, allowing a proper chronological treatment of the development of the Constitutional movement in Tunisia from 1920 up to 2011 to be given.

Agree Charles Essie (talk) 14:33, 27 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Merge all three They are clearly the same party. HangingCurveSwing for the fence 19:15, 1 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Full support for merging all three @Rif Winfield: This seems as the only logical solution to me. There is no reason to have separate articles about these clearly interconnected parties. We should have a single article which would cover the whole period from at least 1934 (when Neo Destour separated from Destour) until 2011. That article would combine Neo Desour (1934–1964), Socialist Destourian Party (1964–1988) and Democratic Constitutional Rally (1988–2011)... I'm just not sure about whether we should also include Destour in the merging, but I don't have strong opinion about it – if majority of editors want to merge it as well, I'll be fine with it. --Sundostund (talk) 15:41, 26 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Also, I assume that @Abjiklam: would be interested to say his opinion here, because the two of us had a discussion related to this proposed merging, back in 2014. --Sundostund (talk) 15:49, 26 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
The Neo Destour being an offshoot, not a continuation, of the Destour, I think the two should remain separate. But I agree that Neo Destour, PSD and RCD should be merged. I've left a message at the WikiProject to see if there are other opinions. Abjiklɐm (tɐlk) 17:00, 26 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
That's my concern as well – the Neo Destour was formed as a result of the split in the Destour, in 1934... --Sundostund (talk) 17:15, 26 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
don't agree. The parties were successor organisation's to each other but there are sufficient political and ideological distinctions over the decades to warrant distinct articles. There's no reason for historically distinct entities to be subsumed into the most recent version. I'd support stripping out the 'heritage content of the more recent articles. The articles on French political parties do not merge the RPR, UPM and others into a single article but keep them distinct. Likewise for British political parties there are separate entries for the Liberal Party and the Liberal Democrats. They're not just pushed into a single 'liberal demo rats' article.

Name for the merged article[edit]

We should also think about a name for the merged article... I'm thinking about "History of constitutional movement in Tunisia", with separate sections for every different period. If anyone has some ideas about this, it would be great to hear them! --Sundostund (talk) 14:32, 30 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@Sundostund: If you do so you're gonna need to add a section about the desturian movement after the revolution since a lot of newly formed political parties claim an ideological continuity with the desturian movement and not only with the Tunisian national movement. As examples we can cite Nidaa Tounes, National Destourian Initiative, Destourian Movement, Neo-Destour Party (see fr:Abderrazek Khallouli).. We have to clearly distinguish between the destour as a party with multiple names and the destour as a mouvement.--Helmoony (talk) 03:59, 8 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
@Helmoony: Sure - I see no problem to add a section for the post-2011 period. I'm sure we can find some solution for that issue. --Sundostund (talk) 14:26, 8 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
@Helmoony and Sundostund: I'm not sure I agree. I thought this merger was based on recognition that Neo Destour, the Socialist Destourian Party and the Democratic Constitutional Rally were all the same party meaning that the combined article would be about the party and not the political trend it subscribed to. That said, I wouldn't be opposed to an article about Destourianism as it existed along side an article about the party. Charles Essie (talk) 18:39, 5 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
@Charles Essie: Yes – Neo Destour, the Socialist Destourian Party and the Democratic Constitutional Rally were all the same party (or at least very closely-connected parties) but the main issue here is that we need a new name for a new, "unified article". We can't just "stuff" all the data for 1934–2011 period into one of the three currently existing articles. We need a new article, and a new (currently unused) name. My proposition "History of constitutional movement in Tunisia" is just an idea; if you have some idea of your own, please feel free to share it... I see no problem in your idea to create Destourianism as the article for political trend in general. --Sundostund (talk) 01:09, 25 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
I disagree. We always have separate articles for parties and ideologies. We don't have a single article for Ba'athism and the Ba'ath Party because they're separate and equally important things and there are other parties that follow the ideology. Same thing here. Charles Essie (talk) 01:25, 25 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
@Charles Essie: You disagree with what? I think we have some sort of misunderstanding here. I think I was clear above: My only real concern is about the new, "unified" article which would encompass data about the party, and what would be its name. As for ideology, etc I have no problem to let you (and other users) handle it as you see appropriate. --Sundostund (talk) 01:54, 25 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
