By my estimation the article is not close to meeting the GA criteria, particularly when it comes to broadness. The article's background starts in 2020 with the Covid-19 pandemic. While that is important background, scholarly sources analyzing the coup (see the further reading section) emphasize the historical background going further back to the Arab Spring and the democratization of Tunisia. Another aspect nearly missing in this article is the justification and causes for the coup among its perpetrators—explained in Nassif and other scholarly sources. Other aspects covered in sources, such as the limitations of the voting allocation system as a factor in causing the coup, are not even mentioned. There is hardly anything about the legality of the coup despite it being extensively discussed in the scholarly source Tamburini 2022. Information about public opinion can be expanded by Ridge 2022. These papers can be accessed by WP:TWL or WP:RX. (t · c) buidhe 22:26, 6 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Requested move 1 August 2023[edit]

The following is a closed discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a move review after discussing it on the closer's talk page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.

The result of the move request was: Moved to 2021 Tunisian self-coup. Several scholarly sources support the self-coup title; I see no reason not to close this as moved. Self-coup titles aren't disallowed (see 2022 Peruvian self-coup attempt); there can be POV concerns, but I don't see them being an issue here.

2021 political crisis in Tunisia2021 Tunisian political crisis – Normally I wouldn't go to Requested Moves for a trivial change like this, but I would prefer some editor input on this as this page was recently moved from 2021 Tunisian self-coup by an editor with a POV to push. Despite that, I think that having an article title which doesn't say this is a self-coup in wikivoice is good - but would appreciate some editor input here.

Tagging individuals involved with the article / talk page / move discussions for input: , Buidhe, Chadli1936, Son Of The Desert, Thryduulf. Thanks, and sorry to inconvenience you with what may seem trivial – I feel like the initial page move warranted wider discussion. --GnocchiFan (talk) 16:01, 1 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose proposed move, Support self-coup which is what scholarly sources seem to prefer (i.e., [1][2][3][4][5][6]). "Political crisis" is too vague. (t · c) buidhe 16:17, 1 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Support self-coup, much more accurate than political crisis. ATGYT12 (talk) 14:42, 4 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Support self-coup per buidhe, this is a very good example of a modern one. Killuminator (talk) 15:34, 5 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
