Wikipedia talk:Articles for deletion/List of current longest-ruling non-royal national leaders

@user:Jwkozak91 I’m still genuinely curious what, if anything, you meant by “the world’s dictators (except for […] Western Europe)”. As I said in the main discussion, I don’t believe any such leaders exist (without getting into purely hyperbolic territory). Or did you just mean long-lasting non-dictators like Angela Merkel?

 * The page was a list of non-royal leaders -- that is, those that did not come to power via hereditary succession. Generally, that means via election, though not necessarily "fair" elections (hence Jwkozak91 calling some 'dictators' except for those fairly-elected in Western Europe). One interpretation from such a list was how rare it is for a fairly-elected leader to stay in office longer than a decade.


 * But one wonders why you are still debating this after already succeeding in the page's deletion? -Tiredmeliorist (talk) 13:38, 15 October 2021 (UTC)
