This is just trivial and inaccurate. Anything useful could be mentioned in passing at Arab League. But the article's title is that it's about Arab "leaders" and then mentions several heads of state and government of non-Arab states (e.g. Somalia and Djibouti--they are not Arab). ―Justin ( koavf ) ❤T☮C☺M☯ 19:06, 20 February 2017 (UTC)

 * Rename List of current leaders of the Arab League? List of leaders of Arab League member states. We've already got List of G8 leaders and List of East Asian leaders in the Japanese sphere of influence (1931–1945)(!). Clarityfiend (talk) 03:01, 21 February 2017 (UTC)
 * Rename per Clarityfiend. Charles Essie (talk) 16:53, 22 February 2017 (UTC)
 * Keep and rename to List of Arab League leaders List of leaders of Arab League member states. Meets WP:LISTPURP, in part as evidenced by the 1,414 page views the page has received in the last thirty days. North America1000 22:31, 27 February 2017 (UTC)

Thanks, Kurykh (talk) 04:25, 8 March 2017 (UTC) Rename to List of leaders of Arab League member states (not List of Arab League leaders which is ambiguous because it could mean leaders of the Arab League organisation). "Somalia and Djibouti--they are not Arab" is not necessarily true (depending on definition of "Arab"): both countries are Member states of the Arab League. I have noticed, however, inconsistencies or misunderstanding in Template:Arab country leaders caused by a recent edit which I have now reverted, and that template has had several very recent name changes. To be consistent, Template:Arab country leaders should be similarly renamed Template:Leaders of Arab League member states. Shhhnotsoloud (talk) 17:34, 9 March 2017 (UTC)
 * Djibouti and Somalia aren't Arabic-speaking places so the peoples there aren't Arabs. ―Justin ( koavf ) ❤T☮C☺M☯ 17:49, 9 March 2017 (UTC)
 * From the articles - Somalia: "In addition to Somali, Arabic, which is also an Afro-Asiatic tongue, is an official national language in Somalia." Djibouti: "There are two official languages in Djibouti: Arabic (Afroasiatic) and French (Indo-European)". I said "depending on your definition".  If your definition is "members of the Arab League" or "has Arabic as an official language"  then they are Arab countries.  However, let's not go there.  Avoid the debate by specifying "Arab League member states" in both the nominated article and its associated template.  Shhhnotsoloud (talk) 18:10, 9 March 2017 (UTC)
