List of heads of state and government by net worth edit

I am nominating this for featured list because It was previously nominated for GA by another editor and that was removed with the person stating it should be a FL and I believe that it fulfills the requirements, it just needs a clean-up of the references.

Oppose:
- What's the cutoff? Why go as far as Rousseff but no further? Is the lack of anyone else because they are worth less than half a million, or because there's no sourcing for them?
- A few in the 'former' section have no years attached. And, again, what's the criteria for exclusion/incluson? It includes dead people, so how long are they to remain on the list? Why not, for example, Ronald Reagan, who according to the linked article was worth $13 million? Why do a few (like Clinton, Carter, and Marcos) have multiple two values? Why is Imelda Marcos listed, despite not being a head of government or state? If her, why not Nestor Kirchener, or Hillary Clinton, or even Jacqueline Onassis?
This article seems to have fundamental issues with its scope. --Golbez (talk) 16:28, 22 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose Major issues. The inclusion criteria seems to be random (why nobody between .5 million and 700 million?) and the net worth column doesn't even sort properly...Mattximus (talk)
Oppose In addition to the above, the lead is not descriptive of the article whatsoever, just giving the limitations of comparison. How do I know the list is comprehensive for the ungiven cutoff? I am quite certain that Singapore's PM, who makes $1.7mil/year, his predecessors, and its president should be on the list, and I'd expect several other leaders to be included as well. I don't know why Bill Clinton's 2007 worth should be listed when he left office in 2001, or Carter's 2011. Reywas92^Talk 05:27, 23 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
