Egyptian Republic (1953–1958)Republic of Egypt (1953–1958) – To change it to its correct name. D4rkeRR9 (talk) 17:01, 16 November 2020 (UTC) Relisting. BegbertBiggs (talk) 18:11, 28 November 2020 (UTC)Reply

  • I'm Neutral, but no matter what, change the hyphen (-) to the correct en-dash (–) per WP:DATERANGE. Paintspot Infez (talk) 23:01, 16 November 2020 (UTC)Reply
    • Just updated the page title and the requested move, to fit within Wikipedia guidelines. Paintspot Infez (talk) 22:50, 18 November 2020 (UTC)Reply
  • I agree with your idea but I don't think many people would know how to do a dash so I think I should try and keep it simple for others. I also need to change the name because it the current title isn't verifiable as the true one so I want to change it to its correct definition. User:D4rkeRR9 (talk) 09:55, 17 November 2020 (UTC)Reply
  • And also When I tried to first create the page, it wouldn't let me put it as the name that I want it to be because it says that the name is already in use and it isn't in use it just redirects you to Modern-day Egypt, It needs to be Republic of Egypt (1953-1958) which is different from Modern day Arab Republic of Egypt.

  • I'm also neutral on the actual page title, but I want to reinforce that at minimum, it should be moved to include the en dash. Of course, most people don't know how to type it, but that's what makes redirects useful. kennethaw88talk 20:33, 17 November 2020 (UTC)Reply
  • Thank you for the suggestion, I will try change it to – (Dash), But I think someone has already changed my page to show a dash instead of a hyphon. User:D4rkeRR9 (talk) 10:05, 19 November 2020 (UTC)Reply
  • Also, The reason why I want to make this change is so that the name shows the actual definition. User:D4rkeRR9 (talk) 17:54, 19 November 2020 (UTC)Reply

Egyptian Republic (1953–1958)Republic of Egypt (1953–1958) – Egyptian Republic is not the real name. It should be changed to Republic of Egypt (1953–1958). D4rkeRR9 (talk) 18:13, 5 December 2020 (UTC)Reply

Republic of Egypt (1953–1958)Republic of Egypt – The Republic of Egypt refers to the 1953-1958 period and the Arab Republic of Egypt refers to the 1971-present period. ColorfulSmoke (talk) 06:33, 20 December 2020 (UTC)Reply

  • Very strong oppose - this might win a last minute prize for the worst RM of 2020. Most readers aren't going to know this, Egypt is still a republic; titles are meant to help readers. In ictu oculi (talk) 11:27, 20 December 2020 (UTC)Reply
  • Oppose as a matter of disambiguation and primary topic. I do not believe this historical state is primary over the current state, which still includes "Republic of Egypt" within its formal name, and which could be reasonably descriptively described as the republic of Egypt. CMD (talk) 12:52, 20 December 2020 (UTC)Reply
  • Very strong oppose and retarget the redirect of Republic of Egypt to Egypt. Although the redirect is not the exact official name of the country, we usually redirect official names to their country names. Example: Republic of Iran redirects to Iran. Interstellarity (talk) 18:44, 20 December 2020 (UTC)Reply
  • Oppose - That Title would be very confusing. The Modern Day Egypt is called Arab Republic of Egypt however this Title would confuse readers. It should remain with the date in brackets. D4rkeRR9 (talk) 19:46, 20 December 2020 (UTC)Reply

Arab Republic of Egypt (1953–1958)Republic of Egypt (1953–1958)D4rkeRR9 moved this article without explanation, also Egypt renamed the United Arab Republic to the Arab Republic of Egypt in 1971. ColorfulSmoke (talk) 06:15, 26 January 2021 (UTC)Reply

What do you mean they moved it? Looking at the article history D4rkeRR9 created it on 14 November. (That said it's completely unsourced so not immediately apparent if the current article title or content is correct.) CMD (talk) 07:58, 26 January 2021 (UTC)Reply
They are referring to this move on 31 December. BegbertBiggs (talk) 10:53, 26 January 2021 (UTC)Reply
Ah, thanks. Looking more closely now, as I didn't expect so many title moves by the article creator. In addition to being completely unreferenced, it seems this page is simply unattributed copy-pastes of text from other Wikipedia articles, including at least Egypt, Egyptian revolution of 1952, and Suez Crisis. Unsure if there are others. Rather than unpicking all this and figuring out correct titles, perhaps it is best to turn this into a redirect for now? CMD (talk) 11:47, 26 January 2021 (UTC)Reply
I agree with redirecting to History of republican Egypt as this article has no value as it is. Lennart97 (talk) 12:57, 26 January 2021 (UTC)Reply
Should we have a article on History of Egypt since 1953? covering "Republic of Egypt" (1953-1958) "United Arab Republic" (1958-1971) and "Arab Republic of Egypt" (1971-present) ColorfulSmoke (talk) 13:17, 26 January 2021 (UTC)Reply
@ColorfulSmoke: That's exactly what History of republican Egypt is! It covers the period from 1953 until present. Lennart97 (talk) 14:23, 26 January 2021 (UTC)Reply
History of Egypt under Gamal Abdel Nasser would serve as an even more specific page to redirect to. CMD (talk) 15:20, 26 January 2021 (UTC)Reply
@Chipmunkdavis: Oh yes, you are correct. I support redirecting there instead. Lennart97 (talk) 07:58, 27 January 2021 (UTC)Reply
