List of constitutions of France → Constitutional history of France – Does not loook like a list, i. e. series of items formatted into a list. But one of the sections (List of constitutions of France#List of constitutions) indeed look like a list. This would also be WP:CONSISTENT with the most articles about other countries in Category:Constitutional history, which I find to be a bonus. Waltermaid (talk) 07:47, 5 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose – the intent of the article is as a stand-alone list. List articles don't have to be nothing but a series of items from beginning to end; they can (and often do) have appendixes and may have introductory prose to provide some background and set the list in context. Following the spirit of WP:SAL, that is the intent of the §§ History, Precursors, and Preamble sections. The "in a nutshell" box of WP:SAL says:
A well-written lead section is important, especially if there is little or no other non-list content.

The only thing to be WP:CONSISTENT with here, is other list articles, and if a stricter adherence to the letter of the list article guideline about the lead is desired, then those three sections could be refactored into one paragraph each and placed in the lead (but the "especially if there is little or no other non-list content" implies that there is nothing wrong with having those three sections). But the title is as it should be, as it describes "what the topic is about, and distinguishes it from other articles." Mathglot (talk) 00:29, 6 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
