Where is Fidel Castro?

Not including Fidel Castro in the list of most representative dictators is simply shameful and compromises the credibility of wikipedia as a trustworthy source. 2604:3D09:3474:5AC0:B1A6:1093:784D:51BE (talk) 06:13, 9 April 2024 (UTC)

I'm guessing Fidel Castro is somewhere in Cuba. Also, Wikipedia articles are really meant to be example farms like TV Tropes. The encyclopedia article is supposed to explain what a dictator is, not run down all of history's most famous dictators. I know that some Wikipedia articles do this, but they're poorly written. If there's a reason to mention Castro, you could always propose an edit here on the talk page using {{Edit semi-protected}}. NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 02:36, 10 April 2024 (UTC)

"Wikipedia articles are really meant to be example farms like TV Tropes." What gave you the idea that Wikipedia should be emulating TV Tropes? No, they are not meant to be lists of examples unless they are lists. Dimadick (talk) 08:51, 10 April 2024 (UTC)

Well, that's supposed to be "not", obviously. I guess it was late at night. NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 13:22, 10 April 2024 (UTC)

Sheikh Hasina Fascist?

So there is a figure in the article with its inscription callin Sheikh Hasina a "so-called fascists dictator"? Isn't the wording too strong? Any reliablesources calling her a fascist, safe for tabloids? Gorgedweller (talk) 09:50, 9 March 2025 (UTC)

Saddam Hussein Dictator

Saddam Hussein was a Dictator during the 20th Century. He should be included. The user who removed the image, removed it out of spite. ~2026-39919-66 (talk) 11:33, 16 July 2026 (UTC)
