Talk:Secretary of Defense

Redirect to "Defense Minister"
Having "Secretary of Defense" go to "Defense Minister" from which people can find the right person seems better, as many countries use a similar title, e.g. Secretary of National Defense. I am not sure why it was changed. --Iloilo Wanderer (talk) 12:29, 31 August 2013 (UTC)
 * First, because there is no "Defense Minister" page to direct them to the secretary of defense; the target page doesn't connect to any leaders, only ministries/departments.
 * Second, because nobody searching for "Secretary" of Defense" who spells defence with an "s" is looking for some unknown "Ministry of Defence" -- the only "defense" organization that uses the term "Secretary of Defense" is the US DoD. We already have redirects for "minister of defence" and "minister of defense" that point to the "Ministry of defence" page. 50.222.2.52 (talk) 14:18, 8 August 2023 (UTC)
