Citizens or Ethnic Group

An editor changed the page so that the focus was Egyptians as citizens of Egypt. Another editor put it back was it was with focus on the ethnic group. The first editor reverted THAT so we were back to citizens. Before reverting the change to the stable version, I had a look at page history and found that the page used to say that it was about citizens AND the ethnic group (some years ago). Thus it is hard to take sides on this, but as per WP:BRD it is time we discussed what the focus of the page should be. Is this page about Egyptians as an ethnic group? Is it about Egyptians as being exactly those who are citizens of Egypt from any ethnic group? Or is it both? There doesn't seem to be any guidance on the matter on this page. Sirfurboy🏄 (talk) 22:06, 5 September 2022 (UTC)

there isn't really an Egyptian ethnic group per se as there isn't a Libyan ethnic group or a Tunisian ethnic group or Jordanian ethnic group. I say we change it back to citizens. 85.75.213.201 (talk) 19:39, 5 February 2024 (UTC)

Yes, you did the right thing. The page is about Egyptians as an ethnic group. Nubians do have their own separate page. Fragrant Peony (talk) 22:15, 5 September 2022 (UTC)

It is best to correct it because this is offensive

Egyptians are not an ethnic group, they are part of the world and the Arab people, and this is even present in the Egyptian constitution, so why is it here that they are an ethnic group? Why do you isolate us from the rest of the Arabs? 91.186.229.101 (talk) 22:48, 27 March 2024 (UTC)

We write based on what the total sum of reliable sources have to say on a topic. There's a superscripted number right after the part you find objectionable that points to a source on which we base our characterization. Remsense诉 22:53, 27 March 2024 (UTC)
I have seen the source and there is no basis for the claim. Secondly, I told you that the Egyptian constitution itself says that the Egyptian people are part of the world and the Arab peoples, and this is basically known to everyone, so bringing a Western source that isolates us from the rest of the country is a bad thing.
