Family dictatorship

 * – ( View AfD View log

A clear POV cruft which is full of WP:OR.

The basic themes of this article are:
 * 1) a family member of president/PM has political power,
 * 2) a defacto head of state was alleged of providing powers to family members.

It is largely depending on the examples like "succeeded by his" and "succeeded by his".

There is no evidence that most of the listed names were actually dictators. For example, no WP:RS would consider Heydar Aliyev, Hassan Al Bakr, etc. as dictators.

 * Strong Oppose Heydar Aliyev's own wikipedia page said He was also said to have run a heavy-handed police state where elections were rigged and dissent was repressed and Hassan Al Bakr was a one party state by what measure is this a serious proposal to deny that any of those were dictators is laughable Friendlyhistorian (talk) 20:06, 12 April 2022 (UTC)

 * TNT Clearly this is a notable topic that is discussed in scholarly literature, but the current article bears no resemblance to the way that is discussed. Delete without prejudice against recreation in a better form. ― Tartan357  Talk 04:19, 16 April 2022 (UTC)
 * TNT This topic is something commonly referenced in media and academics (ie: Kim family), but the article itself lacks WP:RS. The article should exist, but definitely not in its current form. Ravens (talk). 00:03, 17 April 2022 (UTC)
