List of Pakistani heads of state or government
AfDs for this article: 
 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Attempts to merge four lists, List of Prime Ministers of Pakistan, List of Presidents of Pakistan, Governor-General of Pakistan and Chief Martial Law Administrator which cover two separate roles, Head of state and Head of government. It makes no sense. It has one series of numbering regardless of role. Even if the numbering were split, how would it resolve for the periods when the Presidency became an executive presidency assuming both roles? The sixth column gives no clue as to the role of the individual. This page attempts to do too much and does it poorly. Bazj (talk) 14:27, 4 July 2015 (UTC)

 * Keep - perfectly valid and inclusive list. There are multiple lists that combine various rulers from kings to presidents. See List of heads of state of Bulgaria, List of heads of state of Yugoslavia; etc. Obviously Pakistan was a colony at one point and not a state so it makes sense to have the  head of government included. I think there should be more combined lists of heads of government/state for reference purposes.  —Мандичка YO 😜 20:35, 4 July 2015 (UTC)
 * Comment: Your examples don't support your argument. Both the lists you cite are just of Heads of State. Within those articles each position is neatly separated out into a separate list. They also have the supporting articles for Heads of government, Prime Minister of Yugoslavia and List of Prime Ministers of Bulgaria. Your argument would require the articles List of heads of state or government of Yugoslavia and List of heads of state or government of Bulgaria.
 * My point is that this article mushes 4 posts and 2 roles into 1 poorly organised list. Bazj (talk) 07:47, 5 July 2015 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * delete the head of state is different from head of government, whilst I don't support the list article at the very least it needs to be 2 different article. LibStar (talk) 16:57, 9 July 2015 (UTC)

Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, JAaron95  Talk  14:10, 11 July 2015 (UTC)

Delete:- I reluctantly object to keep because Head of government is not the same as Head of state and List of heads of state of Pakistan already exist. We can have an article on List of heads of government of Pakistan but on List of Pakistani heads of state or government seemed unreasonable. Wikic¤l¤gyt@lk to M£ 12:56, 13 July 2015 (UTC)
