RFC: Should the article include examples?

Should the article on Benevolent dictatorship include examples?

Please answer Yes, With Attribution or some comparable phrase, or No in the Survey with a brief statement. With Attribution means in a form such as "A and B consider C to have been a benevolent dictator of country D."

Some possible examples are listed in the Possible Examples section. If the result of this RFC is that examples should be listed, then another RFC will be held to select which examples to use.

Do not respond to the posts of other editors in the Survey, and do not engage in back-and-forth discussion. That is what the Discussion section is for.

There was a previous RFC on the same question one-and-one-half years ago. This RFC will take the place of the earlier RFC because Consensus can change.

Possible Examples

 * 1) Cincinnatus, the legendary dictator of the ancient Roman Republic.
 * 2) Mustafa Kemal Ataturk, founder of the modern Turkish state.
 * 3) Josip Broz Tito, head of communist Yugoslavia from 1953 to 1980.
 * 4) Lee Kwan Yew, influential leader of Singapore.
 * 5) France-Albert René, dictator of the Seychelles from 1977 to 2004.
 * 6) Thomas Sankara, dictator of Burkina Faso from 1983 to 1987.
