- Oppose Pointless pursuit of an unnecessary uniformity. If this disambiguated, it might be worth doing; but there is no need for a long name, which will usually require piping or redirection. Septentrionalis 20:54, 18 January 2006 (UTC)
- Support This change should be made for conformity. --Quinlan Vos 11:29, 19 January 2006 (UTC)

On Second Thought
With all due respect, given the existence of the page "History of Ottoman Egypt," the present page seems definitely redundant and a bit off point anyway, since it talks about the Mehmedalids and the Intervention, ignoring the earlier period of "direct" Turkish rule, such as that was. Would it be indecent of me to propose that this page simply be deleted?

Title

Dubious
The opening section says this:
"Egypt was always a difficult province for the Ottoman Sultans to control, due in part to the continuing power and influence of the Mamluks, the Egyptian military caste who had ruled the country for centuries. As such, Egypt remained semi-autonomous under the Mamluks until it was invaded by the French forces of Napoleon I in 1798."
The idea that the Mamluk administration continued in Egypt after the Ottoman conquest and that the Mamluks continued to dominate the country was thoroughly disproven almost two decades ago by the work of Jane Hathaway, whose work is even cited in the article: see The Politics of Households in Ottoman Egypt: The Rise of the Qazdaglis.
