The result of the discussion was userfy. Author had already moved it to his userspace; I have done a history merge so that the whole history is there. JohnCD (talk) 16:45, 26 April 2016 (UTC)

Bringing an end to all that stupid "Coup" POV


I'd like for this page to be moved into User space and out of Wikipedia space. Essays reflect the viewpoint of their authors but they typically concern the project of editing on Wikipedia, not Egyptian politics. Liz Read! Talk! 20:56, 19 March 2016 (UTC)

Alright then? Did you really read the article deeply yourself? Well, it's not about Egyptian politics itself, but about how you can improve Wikipedia's coverage of modern (2013–present) Egyptian politics. I think one of the numerous problems is that Wikipedia's coverage of Egyptian politics is too biased in favor of the Brotherhood. NPOV should be taken into account and the pro-Brotherhood, anti-government bias should be removed. Yeah, it's an essay, reflecting my own views. I've put it into my userspace for now.

 * History merge the Wikipedia page into the userspace one and let's move on. Zakawer, Liz isn't arguing over the view within the essay itself, just its location at the moment. And essays typically proscribe issues with behavior on Wikipedia not particular content. Conduct an RFC or other mechanism on the Egyptian pages and work your point involving some points like WP:TERRORIST ("coup" can be contentious) rather than this essay. There is a parallel I can see but your essay does not help. -- Ricky81682 (talk) 01:59, 20 March 2016 (UTC)
 * Comment: Okay, Ricky81682. I can understand that. I've done an RFC on the talk page for the article I feel is the primary problem. See Talk:2013 Egyptian coup d'état for more details. Zakawer (talk) 16:51, 20 March 2016 (UTC)
 * Userfy at minimum (following above), but I'm leaning toward delete per WP:SOAPBOX. (By the way, this sort of statement is not encouraging, in view of the rest of the content of the essay: "I, for example, modified the entirety of Rabia sign to remove a lot of POV". The changes made to that article should be reviewed.) — Nizolan  (talk) 14:38, 27 March 2016 (UTC)
 * Userfy. Fair user essay, not by far, but fair.  Clearly intended for project purposes, fair opinion of the author. --SmokeyJoe (talk) 02:52, 4 April 2016 (UTC)
