List of prime ministers of Italy

 * Nominator(s): Nick.mon (talk) 16:46, 3 May 2021 (UTC)

During these years, I have done a lot of work on this list, I think I've improved the lead and layout and I believe it meets the criteria. Nick.mon (talk) 16:46, 3 May 2021 (UTC)

Oppose – There are only three sources, and all three are in the lead. The lack of clear citations for the body is unacceptable for a FL. RunningTiger123 (talk) 18:00, 3 May 2021 (UTC)
 * Speedy oppose You need inline sources per criterion 3b. General sources can be acceptable too so a large table isn't even more crowded with footnotes, but they ought to be cited at the top of the table or something so it's clear what content goes with which source. I also find it hard to believe that there are zero English-language resources for this, or even online resources rather than 50-year-old books ( provides literally nothing but surnames). The prose section is also inadequate and mostly a copy-paste of the lead of Prime Minister of Italy without actually introducing the contents of the list itself. Sorry, I was excited to see this come up and the table is terrific so I hope you'll come back with improvements after reviewing better examples at WP:FL. Reywas92Talk 18:02, 3 May 2021 (UTC)
 * Reywas92, "unfortunately", I'm not the only user involved in Italian politics and the format (for PMs and ministers) was decided after a long discussion in another talk page. However I'll try to improve it! -- Nick.mon (talk) 18:51, 3 May 2021 (UTC)
 * I mean the general format is fine, it's the lack of sources and prose that summarizes and introduces the list that's the issue. No need to change the structure for the most part. Thanks for your efforts. Reywas92Talk 19:03, 3 May 2021 (UTC)
 * Reywas92: Thank you! I've just added some sources, but I still have to improve the leading section, so I think I'll present a second nomination within a few weeks or months. Thank you again! -- Nick.mon (talk) 20:03, 3 May 2021 (UTC)


 * Oppose per the above - sourcing is a long way off what is required of a FL -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 18:59, 3 May 2021 (UTC)
 * , given your statement "I think I'll present a second nomination within a few weeks or months"—I'm assuming you want to formally withdrawal this nomination? Aza24 (talk) 23:57, 17 May 2021 (UTC)
 * Yes, I fear that this nomination has been rejected. -- Nick.mon (talk) 06:18, 18 May 2021 (UTC)
