Talk:Republicanism in Morocco

message: The title is totally misleading. The page should be moved to another title. The is no term whatsoever called Republic of Morocco. The Moors story is about the Bou regrag area; the Rifis' story was about the Republic of Rif and Oufkir's was a failed attempt. It was the only attempt. 
The title as it is incorrect encyclopedically and is misleading. It should represent the content! Cheers -- Svest 02:05, 20 December 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: I agree, this page should be deleted. If necessary, a list of insurrections in Morocco, or something like that, could fill its place. Arre 12:40, 20 December 2005 (UTC)
thread_title: Title

message: I read again the article to think about a title that would represent all different facts stated in the article. I could not find one. If someone can think of any adequate title, that would be a great help.
On the other hand, the article is considered a presentation of facts and not a dissertation. Those facts can be easily merged with History of Morocco, and some at Politics of Morocco.
Therefore before merging it, we should move it to another title. The title has nothing to do with the content. Cheers -- Svest 17:59, 20 December 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: I definitely support merging it with History of Morocco, and I agree with your list below. But although the name is very misleading, I don't think it is important that we change it first, if it is going to be deleted anyway. Arre 22:06, 20 December 2005 (UTC)
thread_title: Move and merge

message: Another thing, not important, but... Ahmed Rami, referred to in the list of links, is a notorious figure in Sweden, where he lives as a refugee. He has been convicted several times for running a strongly anti-Semitic radio station and web site (both are called Radio Islam, but have nothing to do with Islam) in collaboration with Swedish neo-Nazis. Also, his own account of his importance for the Oufkir coup has been strongly disputed - he seems to have been a very minor figure, although he portrays himself as a central plotter.
Not that it means anything for this page, but if it will be merged with History of M, i suggest removing the Rami link entirely, since its content is under dispute. Or at least noting that in the reference to it. Arre 22:20, 20 December 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: Yes, but that can be developped or mentioned in Mohamed Oufkir page. Cheers -- Svest 23:32, 20 December 2005 (UTC)
thread_title: Rami

message: Hi guys, just FYI. The page is now moved to History of republicanism in Morocco. I hope it is the most accurate title. Cheers -- Szvest 18:35, 31 December 2005 (UTC)

text: Ok for me too, a good compromise. Note that it is also a good candidate to be just merged as a section in History of Morocco, as this is still a minor subject I am not sure if it deserves an article of its own. --Khalid hassani 16:15, 6 January 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I agree. -- Szvest 20:11, 6 January 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I also agree, both with the move and the suggestion to merge it. I'm not sure it merits an article of its own, and I also find the linkage between these republics or quasi-republics very dubious. An article on political republicanism as an ideology in Morocco could merit an article (from the 1970s coups to Islamic republicanism today etc), but this is not it. Arre 23:01, 8 January 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Page move

message: This is interesting. Has it been established that Dlimi tried his hand at a coup in 1983? (And that he was murdered?) I was under the impression that this is just a theory, as of yet unproven. I'm not too familiar with the subject, though, so I'll be happy to be informed otherwise. Arre 23:51, 8 January 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I'm happy to announce we now have a Ahmed Dlimi page, where this could be sorted out. And should be sorted out, since I still can't find any confirmation, just more speculation. Arre 04:38, 10 January 2006 (UTC)
