Merge[edit]

These articles seem to suggest that all three of these "parties" are actually the same party. Charles Essie (talk) 19:23, 19 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Support: the articles are clearly referring to the same party. Parabellus (talk) 21:05, 16 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose: The problem lies in how the article is written. In reality, there isn't a straight line between the party founded in 1921 and the current party, there has been a lot of formations in-between. --Soman (talk) 00:45, 17 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose: the articles are clearly not referring to the same party.Leutha (talk) 20:50, 13 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
I suggesting merging the 1921 Egyptian Socialist Party into the 1922 Egyptian Communist Party (1921) given their clear continuity. However, keep them separate from the modern Egyptian Communist Party which is too remote from the original to be considered in continuity. Klbrain (talk) 06:59, 6 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Merged the two older parties, and kept the modern one separate, given the arguments that there is no evidence for continuity. Klbrain (talk) 21:13, 7 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
