List of heads of state and government by net worth

 * Nominator(s):  The C of E God Save the Queen!  ( talk ) 15:03, 22 January 2014 (UTC)

I am nominating this for featured list because It was previously nominated for GA by another editor and that was removed with the person stating it should be a FL and I believe that it fulfills the requirements, it just needs a clean-up of the references.

 * Oppose:
 * What's the cutoff? Why go as far as Rousseff but no further? Is the lack of anyone else because they are worth less than half a million, or because there's no sourcing for them?
 * A few in the 'former' section have no years attached. And, again, what's the criteria for exclusion/incluson? It includes dead people, so how long are they to remain on the list? Why not, for example, Ronald Reagan, who according to the linked article was worth $13 million? Why do a few (like Clinton, Carter, and Marcos) have multiple two values? Why is Imelda Marcos listed, despite not being a head of government or state? If her, why not Nestor Kirchener, or Hillary Clinton, or even Jacqueline Onassis?
 * This article seems to have fundamental issues with its scope. --Golbez (talk) 16:28, 22 January 2014 (UTC)
 * Oppose Major issues. The inclusion criteria seems to be random (why nobody between .5 million and 700 million?) and the net worth column doesn't even sort properly...Mattximus (talk)
 * Oppose In addition to the above, the lead is not descriptive of the article whatsoever, just giving the limitations of comparison. How do I know the list is comprehensive for the ungiven cutoff? I am quite certain that Singapore's PM, who makes $1.7mil/year, his predecessors, and its president should be on the list, and I'd expect several other leaders to be included as well. I don't know why Bill Clinton's 2007 worth should be listed when he left office in 2001, or Carter's 2011. Reywas92 Talk 05:27, 23 January 2014 (UTC)
