List of current Indian chief ministers

 * Nominator(s): —indopug (talk) 20:30, 17 February 2013 (UTC)

Nearly five years after my last FLC nom, I bring you a list that, just 30 hours ago, I found looking like this. Since it's a "current" list, sources were easy enough to find; it is in the vein of List of current Canadian first ministers.—indopug (talk) 20:30, 17 February 2013 (UTC)

Note: this article had a previous FLC. However, since I moved the article to a new name, the FLC doesn't should up on the talk-page's ArticleHistory template. Anybody know what's wrong and how to fix this?—indopug (talk) 20:42, 17 February 2013 (UTC)
 * I tried doing something; what I have done may not be right thing to do (Was thinking that I was creating a subpage of the talk page). Would request an admin to review it and delete if needed.--GDibyendu (talk) 09:04, 19 February 2013 (UTC)
 * Comment. This list by its very nature may become outdated at any time if one of those chief ministers resigns. It will require continues maintenance in the future, and I do not understand how its compliance with the FL criteria will continue to be maintained. Ruslik_ Zero 16:09, 19 February 2013 (UTC)
 * if a CM resigns and a new one takes his place, the list will simply be updated. Since it will be a major news event, high-quality sources won't be difficult to find. At most it'll take a couple of days before it is done perfectly (ref formatting etc), but for the most part it should be a stable, non-controversial, easy-to-maintain list. Besides the Canadian featured list above is a precedent.—indopug (talk) 21:47, 19 February 2013 (UTC)


 * Support Frankly I can not see any real issues. I fixed a dab link. What you may do is linking all the states in the image. "is the de jure head" – the article is probably redundant in such cases. Regards.--Tomcat (7) 15:57, 27 February 2013 (UTC)
 * Thank you!—indopug (talk) 16:17, 27 February 2013 (UTC)

Note this nomination appears to have stalled. Suggest the nominator contacts relevant projects or editors who may be interested in reviewing this for FLC, or else we should archive the nomination. The Rambling Man (talk) 18:04, 5 April 2013 (UTC)


 * Comment Support
 * "Given he has the confidence of the assembly, the chief minister's term is for five years; the office is subject to no term limits." I did not understand that "office is subject to no term limits" part. What does it mean? CM can change, but CM's office staffs cannot?
 * Clarified.


 * "At present, the office of Chief Minister of Jharkhand is vacant..." Instead of "at present, it should be "As of ..."
 * Reworded slightly differently to prevent two dates in the sentence, "As of April 2013, . . . since January 2013".—indopug (talk) 15:41, 7 April 2013 (UTC)


 * The list itself looks pretty good, and I am leaning to support.--Dwaipayan (talk) 18:47, 5 April 2013 (UTC)
 * Diffs. Thanks for your comments and kind words.—indopug (talk) 15:41, 7 April 2013 (UTC)


 * Support I... don't really have anything. Not sure why this nomination stalled out for so long. Consider archiving your online references using web.archive.org or webcitation.org, so that any changes or removal of content at those sites don't affect the citations in this article. -- Pres N  23:54, 8 April 2013 (UTC)
 * Thank you!—indopug (talk) 05:11, 9 April 2013 (UTC)


 * Support Comment Please correct the colour coding of Sikkim Democratic Front, which is not matching with the Legend. All other seems perfect and match the criteria for a FLC. Amartyabag   TALK2ME  08:00, 9 April 2013 (UTC)
 * Good catch! Fixed.—indopug (talk) 08:15, 9 April 2013 (UTC)


 * Comment: On the FLC for National Film Award for Best Actress, images were asked to be removed as all entries did not have images. Won't that apply here as well? §§ Dharmadhyaksha §§ {T/C} 11:02, 9 April 2013 (UTC)
 * I fail to see the merit in doing that, especially when we have so many of the CMs' images already (20 out of 30). Further, there's no reason that free images of the remaining ones won't turn up; they are highly visible public figures after all. For eg: I've been searching Flickr a lot lately, and have been moderately successful at getting photographers to release their works for free.
 * FWIW, I think the article you linked didn't suffer for missing a few images and that they shouldn't have been removed during FLC.—indopug (talk) 13:16, 9 April 2013 (UTC)
 * Please take my comments very casually. I was just pointing out the difference as i was under the wrong impression that completeness is something we require for FA/FLs. I understand that such points can be (intentionally/unintentionally) missed. §§ Dharmadhyaksha §§ {T/C} 15:20, 9 April 2013 (UTC)


 * Support – Good job. Zia Khan 16:10, 10 April 2013 (UTC)
