I wrote the beginning of the article that I hope to be able to continue. Orczar (talk) 18:52, 4 July 2012 (UTC)

A sweeping statement like this (of which the article is full of) ...
Beginning with the 2011 Egyptian revolution, through the parliamentary election, the presidential election, and the unsettled situation that followed, the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt had been the main force contesting, at times reluctantly, the Supreme Council of the Armed Forces (SCAF) and other established centers of the former Hosni Mubarak regime for political power in Egypt.
... cries out for sources.

Here is another one:
President Morsi's temporary assumption of full constitutional power and push for new constitution
Threatened with a gridlock caused by the possible Mubarak-era's judiciary invalidation of the Constituent Assembly, President Morsi issued on November 22, 2012 his second major constitutional declaration. The President assumed sweeping additional powers that he deemed necessary for the completion of the democratization process, granting the Constituent Assembly additional two months to finish their work on the new constitution and protecting the body from any judicial interference. A new prosecutor general was appointed and lawsuits filed against the President's previous decisions were annulled. Morsi's rulings were declared final until the constitution is approved and a new People's Assembly is elected. Demonstrations took place in Egypt, organized by opponents who saw the President's declaration as a "power grab".
... Extremely contentious issue. Not a single source given.

... i.e. this is why I tagged the article. -- BoogaLouie (talk) 21:27, 25 September 2013 (UTC)

Delete if not demonstrably fixable or mergeable

I intend to nominate for deletion, as this article in its current state seems to be fundamentally unsuitable. It is a time capsule of 2013 sources, written as a POV fork. Were it to be updated and fixed for tone and content, its content would be redundant with the articles we have on Egypt's 2012 government and aftermath (which need continuous updating themselves for modern historical perspective).

Meanwhile, I don't see enough independent analysis here to discuss the Muslim Brotherhood, in isolation, in the aftermath of the Arab Spring as a whole. If there is an internal party dynamic that is in fact meaty enough to talk about independently, that can be the focus of an article of this title, but that would be a complete WP:TNT rewrite. The content for now is simply, again, a POV fork of 2012--2013. SamuelRiv (talk) 20:24, 2 September 2024 (UTC)
