Talk:Timeline of the Egyptian Crisis under Mohamed Morsi/Archive 1

name of article
The name of this article is a misnomer, and should be changed.

In its present form, it is misleading about a key point of a historically significant event. The Egyptian Revolution was not initiated or led by the Muslim Brotherhood. The Muslim Brotherhood took no position and did not participate in it for most of its duration, arguably until after its successes had demonstrated that a new order was coming to Egypt. Thus, there was no "2011 Egyptian revolution under the Muslim Brotherhood", and there is no neutral, verifiable source that claims so. Jvol (talk) 03:31, 9 December 2012 (UTC)

The content of the article itself supports the above conclusion:

A) 90% of the content concerns events in 2012 (in an article w/ "2011" in the title). Thus 90% of this content is inappropriate to the title.

B) the first line of the article states that the MB was not one of the organization that called the protests. It goes on to state a controversial claim that the MB later did officially support it, but in the next paragraph acknowledges that the MB made a deal with the Mubarak administration to withdraw its support.

These flaws are so fundamental that i strongly suspect this article was created as propaganda. For this reason, and because much of its content is duplicated in other wikipedia articles, perhaps its best if this article is simply deleted and/or consolidated with more appropriately named articles.

 * Propose to rename the article to "Post-revolution timeline of the 2011 Egyptian revolution under President Morsi" and to remove "Pre-Morsi's election" in order to satisfy the concerns articulated by Jvol. --P3Y229 (talk • contribs) 15:31, 10 December 2012 (UTC)
