List of leaders of Armenia → President of Armenia – Similar to other articles of the heads of states. "Leader" is a very wide term. Երևանցի ^talk 14:13, 12 May 2013 (UTC)

The article seems to cover more than just presidents. How about List of heads of state of Armenia? That would fit the article's scope, and there's plenty of precedent for such titles. Jafeluv (talk) 09:15, 22 May 2013 (UTC)

The First Secretaries of the Communist Party of Armenia were in no way "leaders of Armenia". We need an article titled "President of Armenia". We can include the Soviet Armenian leaders in a separate article. --Երևանցի ^talk 20:14, 23 May 2013 (UTC)

I think we could well have a separate article about the president of Armenia in addition to the list. As a parallel example, we have both President of Argentina and List of heads of state of Argentina. Jafeluv (talk) 09:14, 24 May 2013 (UTC)

You stated that "the First Secretaries of the Communist Party of Armenia were in no way 'leaders of Armenia'" and then referred to them as "the Soviet Armenian leaders" in the same message. —David Levy 10:38, 24 May 2013 (UTC)

Exactly! I called them the Soviet Armenian leaders. They was no independent Armenia from 1920 to 1991.--Երևանցի ^talk 18:20, 26 May 2013 (UTC)

The article's title isn't "List of leaders of the independent Armenia". —David Levy 20:42, 26 May 2013 (UTC)

We also have many articles whose titles begin "List of leaders of". In this instance, I don't believe that "head of state" would be accurate in reference to the period in which Armenia was a Soviet republic. The current terminology is broad by design. —David Levy 10:38, 24 May 2013 (UTC)

• Oppose. An "[office title] of [country]" article is intended to describe the office and its history. Yerevanci is correct that we need an article titled "President of Armenia", but no one has written it yet. This is a list of persons, most of whom weren't President of Armenia. Indeed, "we can include the Soviet Armenian leaders in a separate article," and this is that article. —David Levy 10:38, 24 May 2013 (UTC)

  Then we should move this to "List of leaders of Soviet Armenia", but we still need a separate article for "Presidents of Armenia". --Երևանցի ^talk 18:20, 26 May 2013 (UTC)

  Why should the article be split (thereby fragmenting a list that readers interested in Armenia's leadership history will seek)? And what about the 1918-1920 items (which fall into neither of those two categories)? I see no organizational benefit to the change that you propose.
  We do, however, need a President of Armenia article, documenting the office itself. Perhaps you could write it. —David Levy 20:42, 26 May 2013 (UTC)
