Talk:President of the Maldives

Five presidents?

As far as I know we've had two republics and three presidents. First repbulic dissovled into a sultanate after its first president Mohamed Amin Didi. Subsequent figures after this dissolve are sultans. (Muhammad Fareed Didi is, I am not sure about Ibrahim Muhammad Didi). Two served (actually one is still serving) in second republic. That sums up to three. Anyone disagree with this? --Oblivious 05:26, 9 October 2007 (UTC)

Reverted to November 2020

I have reverted the article to a version from November 2020. The reason is that an IP editor had removed the contents of the article (the list of presidents) and replaced it with content copied (without attribution) from Constitution of the Maldives, Elections in the Maldives, and History of the Maldives. The IP editor split the list of presidents to List of presidents of the Maldives, which I think is unnecessary because this article doesn't contain much original content besides the list.

Requested move 23 July 2024

The following is a closed discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a move review after discussing it on the closer's talk page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.

The result of the move request was: moved. This can be noted as a procedural close, as per the helpful note by AVNOJ1989 below, the original move could have been reverted and this is a move back to the original title. (closed by non-admin page mover) ASUKITE 15:26, 31 July 2024 (UTC)

President of Maldives → President of the Maldives – "the" is very important between of and Maldives; the page mover moved the page and was given the reason "Proper name for the country. Ref: https://unstats.un.org/unsd/geoinfo/geonames/)", but i dont think it is a proper name because the official name of the post is "President of the Maldives", so the page should be moved as it was before. As per the constitution, it is "President of the Maldives". MAL MALDIVE (talk) 14:21, 23 July 2024 (UTC)

Support, WP:CRITERIA: ngrams shows they are equally common and ‘the’ seems much more natural. Also consistent with other articles like Culture of the Maldives Kowal2701 (talk) 14:11, 24 July 2024 (UTC)

Comment. MAL MALDIVE is indicating objection to a bold edit rather than to a move request [1]. Per WP:RMUM, MAL MALDIVE would've been entitled to immediately revert. At which point it is the editor who made the bold edit who would've been obliged to submit a move request. The WP:ONUS should not be understood as being on MAL MALDIVE to create a compelling consensus to move to President of the Maldives, but rather on retaining the title as President of Maldives.

• Oppose "Maldives" is the proper name of the country, so i don't think adding "the" is necessary, even if its constitution say like that. 103.111.100.82 (talk) 05:49, 25 July 2024 (UTC)
