@Mach61: Such a "list of military juntas" is unsustainable, setting precedent from military dictatorship which has achieved good article status without being a list of military dictatorships as it formerly was PizzaKing13 ^¡Hablame! 20:37, 12 March 2024 (UTC)

@PizzaKing13 why would it be "unsustainable"? The current list isn't that large, and even if it were the correct thing to do would still be to WP:SIZESPLIT into a new article. Why does this article need to be in alignment with the military dictatorship article? Mach61 21:09, 12 March 2024 (UTC)
