Talk:List of First Ladies of Puerto Rico
Merge back to original article
editAfter looking at "List of former and current First Lady of Puerto Rico", I asked myself "What is this"? The "list" is supposed to have an informative article to go along with it. It shouldn't be just a boring "table". Where is the introduction of the list? Where is some information which would make the list interesting? Here is an example of what a list should look like: List of Puerto Ricans missing in action in the Korean War. As I stated a simple "table" belongs in an article such as the "First Lady of Puerto Rico" and not as a sole entity. Also the same thing goes for the "List of secretaries of State of Puerto Rico", it should be merged once more to the article Secretary of State of Puerto Rico.

- I do not agree with your suggestion but I have added the proper cleanup templates to the section in the original article and to this article to indicate that they both must be improved. See List of Secretaries of State of the United States which is presented exactly just as a list without any lead section and List of First Ladies of the United States. I strongly believe that my suggestions are a viable solution to this dispute and that they help reach consensus in good faith. —Ahnoneemoos (talk) 16:24, 21 November 2012 (UTC)
- Tony, I have added a shorter, cleaner, and minimal list to the main article while keeping the detailed list on this one. That way we have the names on the main article but the details and pictures on this one; making it easier to read First Lady of Puerto Rico while saving all intricate details on List of First Ladies of Puerto Rico. —Ahnoneemoos (talk) 06:30, 25 November 2012 (UTC)
- I still believe that the tables belong in the articles for which they were created. Both "List" articles can still remain and follow the example of List of Puerto Rican military personnel. As a matter of fact the tables can even remain in the "List" articles. A consensus of both issues should be set up and we should let the community decide which would be the best course to follow. I looked at both "Secretary of State of Puerto Rico" and the "First Ladies of Puerto Rico" articles and the sections which list the names of the former secretaries and ladies. At least in the article of the First ladies of Puerto Rico, the section has some informative substance, however the same cannot be said of the Secretary of State article.

- I do not agree with your opinion. I believe it would be best to show a clean and concise list in the main article showing only the years served, name, and the acronym of the Puerto Rican political party. Then the List article goes into detail with colors, pictures, and whatever else you want to add. As an example, compare Southern Governors' Association to National Governors Association. National Governors Association looks cleaner and easier to read. —Ahnoneemoos (talk) 18:45, 25 November 2012 (UTC)
