Category talk:Premiers of Niue

Opposed speedy move request

• Category:Premiers of Niue to Category:Prime ministers of Niue – C2D: Following move from Premier of Niue to Prime Minister of Niue, per 2024 Niuean constitutional referendum. (Capitalization is consistent with Category:Prime ministers by country and its subcategories.) Sources are provided in the article on the referendum, but for completeness: see an article explaining the referendum, and the official results. jlwoodwa (talk) 18:12, 4 September 2024 (UTC)

  @Jlwoodwa Would the leaders prior to 2024 still have the old title? (That's a question, not an objection.) - RevelationDirect (talk) 19:31, 4 September 2024 (UTC)

  @RevelationDirect: Good point; I hadn't considered that. The article's headline (Niue set for first Prime Minister as constitutional changes pass second reading) suggests that former Premiers would not be Prime Ministers. However, the referendum itself is to change the Title of Premier to Prime Minister, and since nothing else about the position is changing, I don't think it justifies separating the office-holders into two categories. This now seems nontrivial enough that it should be discussed at CfD proper, though… jlwoodwa (talk) 01:30, 6 September 2024 (UTC)

  @Jlwoodwa The Philippines moved from a PM to President and has a category for the old title, Category:Prime ministers of the Philippines, with a parent category to hold both titles, Category:Heads of government of the Philippines. If we agree on that approach and it's non-controversial with other editors, you wouldn't necesarily need a CFD since you're just adding categories. (This is a long way of saying I've moved to Oppose on the rename.) RevelationDirect (talk) 14:25, 6 September 2024 (UTC)
