Thebestofall007 (talk · contribs) proposed to merge Presidency of Nelson Mandela into Nelson Mandela at 02:46, 4 July 2011‎ (UTC)

A merger with "Nelson Mandela" has been proposed since 2011. I strongly oppose this merger, since Mandela's Presidency is a major historical period in its own right, and since he is notable for much beyond his presidency. I would agree that this page needs work, and there should be some exchanges between here and the main page for Mandela. groupuscule (talk) 14:55, 13 November 2012 (UTC)

• Oppose I also oppose the suggested merge. His presidency is highly notable in itself, so can stand on its own, and he himself is known for far more than just his presidency. -- 65.94.78.9 (talk) 10:59, 7 December 2013 (UTC)

• Oppose We already have complaints that Nelson Mandela is too long. HelenOnline 11:45, 7 December 2013 (UTC)

• Oppose This article should be expanded along the lines of Presidency of Barack Obama. --NeilN ^{talk to me} 16:46, 7 December 2013 (UTC)

• Oppose for reasons that have already been articulated above. Midnightblueowl (talk) 17:19, 7 December 2013 (UTC)

• Oppose Subject is clearly notable enough to have it's own stand alone article. Mkdw^talk 19:04, 7 December 2013 (UTC)

• Oppose per groupuscule, 65.94.78.9, HelenOnline, NeilN, Midnightblueowl, and Mkdw. This article needs work, yes, but it's notable, too big, and too distinct from the main article.   — Jeff G. ツ (talk) 14:41, 9 December 2013 (UTC)
