	::I was thinking that "Prime Minister of the United Kingdom" would be too specific. But I do also think an article for "President" should also be made, not just "President of the United States". Can always just remove the list of people, and just have the page be about what a prime minister is.

	:::I'm making this a deletion proposal because I do think that the article topic is too broad. The topic is basically the governmental position either titled prime minister, translated as prime minister, or analogous to the office of a prime minister in modern parliamentary systems or semi-presidential republics—or maybe it means to refer to the head of government in any country?. "Prime Minister of the United Kingdom" is not any more specific than "Grand Master of the Templar Order". It would refer to an actual office/title rather than a concept generalizing and encompassing a wide range of offices. For a real-world encyclopedia like Wikipedia, it makes sense to have an article on that concept, but there is no such necessity here on the Assassin's Creed Wiki.		:::I'm making this a deletion proposal because I do think that the article topic is too broad.

	:::Moreover, the lede as it currently reads is not accurate to the historical Chinese prime ministers listed, as their governments were neither parliamentary systems nor semi-presidential republics. Even among historical Chinese prime ministers, the office and title were not always the same. To simplify things, I think an article summarizing Chinese premiership throughout history is in order, but it would be better organized to keep them separate from British prime ministers.

	:::Of course this invites the question of whether we should also have articles on "emperor", "king", "khan", etc. I would disagree. A Chinese emperor, a sultan, a Persian "king of kings", a khagan, the Holy Roman Emperor, a Roman emperor, Victoria as "the Empress of India", etc. are all distinct enough in their historical and political contexts that if we ''were'' to have articles on the position of emperor, it would be better organization to discuss them separately. I also don't think that an article on a generic title like "king", "president", "general", etc. are warranted on our wiki to begin with. But finally, we should be consistent with precedent set by our articles on the [[Grand Master of the Templar Order]], [[Grand Master of the Knights Hospitalier]], and [[Grand Master of the Knights Teutonic]], where we have them as separate articles as opposed to having one article on "Grand master".

	Should we really have an article on as broad a position as prime ministers across all history and every country or should we have more narrow articles for the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, Premiers of the Soviet Union, etc.? And this sets a precedent for an article on "President" and on "King". I personally think that instead of an article on "President", we should have an article on "President of the United States" and likewise instead of an article on "Prime minister", we should have an article on "Prime Minister of the United Kingdom". Not all leadership positions with the same name or which are analogous to one another are really the same since the context differs between different political systems.

			I'm deleting this now, but I do wish to make one final note. I didn't properly address Vilka's good argument before regarding the existence of articles on [[ealdorman]] and [[jarl]]. My rebuttal to that would be that those titles are narrower in meaning because they pertain to specific socio-cultural systems whereas "prime minister" is kind of a catch-all for many titles of similar rank and position. There can be articles on viziers and prime ministers aka chancellors of imperial China instead.

	:::I'm making this a deletion proposal because I do think that the article topic is too broad. The topic is basically the governmental position either titled prime minister, translated as prime minister, or analogous to the office of a prime minister in modern parliamentary systems or semi-presidential republics—or maybe it means to refer to the head of government in any country?. "Prime Minister of the United Kingdom" is not any more specific than "Grand Master of the Templar Order". It would refer to an actual office/title rather than a concept generalizing and encompassing a wide range of offices. For a real-world encyclopedia like Wikipedia, it makes sense to have an article on that concept, but there is no such necessity here on the Assassin's Creed Wiki.		:::I'm making this a deletion proposal because I do think that the article topic is too broad.

	:::Moreover, the lede as it currently reads is not accurate to the historical Chinese prime ministers listed, as their governments were neither parliamentary systems nor semi-presidential republics. Even among historical Chinese prime ministers, the office and title were not always the same. To simplify things, I think an article summarizing Chinese premiership throughout history is in order, but it would be better organized to keep them separate from British prime ministers.
