Discussion:

• Oppose: If these are the most commonly used terms for those officials, then they should remain. With respect to the U.S., the current form is far more common than the proposed one. There is no compelling reason for for uniformity here, so renaming pages to remove the "List of" is does not seem warranted, either. -Rrius (talk) 15:23, 28 August 2009 (UTC)
• Support change from "ambassador" to "Permanent Representative" for all. Use of the actual term makes sense here. Only heads of state receive ambassadors. Organizations receive permanent representatives or observers. Good Ol’factory ^(talk) 23:32, 30 August 2009 (UTC)
  • Read WP:Name. What is important is what name is most commonly used. In the US, that is Ambassador to the UN or UN Ambassador. If the others are something other than what they say, then they should be that something else. Also, some of those provide paltry information about the Perm. Rep., so "List of" is at least a correct name, and there is no good reason to change them. -Rrius (talk) 23:56, 3 September 2009 (UTC)
• Is there an actual basis anywhere for the claim that "Permanent Representative" is more correct then "ambassador"?
