List of presidents of Pakistan

 * – ( View AfD View log )

I redirected this article to List of heads of state of Pakistan as I believe that as it stands it is a duplicate of that article. Everything is there already. Is there enough of a rationale to have this article as well? Presidents unsourced. Really doesn't merit a stand-alone article, where majority of them have a tenure of one or two days. Could be merged to president of Pakistan and List of heads of state of Pakistan. Uggdf (talk) 03:44, 22 April 2022 (UTC)

 * Special:Contributions/Uggdf tells us that you have never edited either article, and its edit history tells us that list of presidents of Pakistan has never been redirected. Uncle G (talk) 09:11, 22 April 2022 (UTC)




 * Merge into List of heads of state of Pakistan, purely on the grounds that the list is too small to be useful: there are only three of them; their list can much more efficiently be presented in the parent article. Other than that, troutslap the nominator for a clearly frivolous nomination. The notability argument is obvious bogus – of course these figures and the institution they represent are notable, quite possible just because they are so contentious (i.e. non-recognized). Nipson has simply been on a POV rampage to eradicate as much of our coverage of the political institutions of the Pakistan as he can, for transparently tendentious reasons.

 * Strong keep Absolutely. It's a legitimate list ~ no matter an individual's political position on the legitimacy of the office. Recognition by us, or others, is not relevant - merely it's notability. And I'll suggest that the internationally reported divisiveness over its legitimacy is itself sufficient support for its notability. Deletion would simply be political censorship brought about by gaming the system, its notability - and verifiable supporting ref's - are undeniable. We can, and eagerly do list appearances made by unknowns on low-rated cable tv sc-fi serials. We should, and must if we are to stay true to our mission, list internal leadership of large swaths of disputed territories. Uggdf (talk) 13:20, 22 April 2022 (UTC)
 * Speedy keep all. Top-level political leaders in political entities without international recognition are still notable. Uggdf (talk) 13:20, 22 April 2022 (UTC)
