In my experience "supreme leader" refers to the all-powerful person not more frequently than it refers to a mere paramount leader... СЛУЖБА (talk) 10:55, 8 April 2012 (UTC)
The result of the move request was: Not moved. Jafeluv (talk) 08:41, 31 August 2012 (UTC)
Supreme leader → Supreme Leader (title) –. The primary use of the phrase "supreme leader" is Supreme Leader of Iran, and so this title should redirect there and so this page needs to be moved. This is being discussed as part of the discussion about where Supreme Leader (note capital) should redirect, so please comment at Wikipedia:Redirects for discussion/Log/2012 August 24#Supreme Leader rather than here.

Although Emperor Hirohito held supreme power over Japan, is there any evidence that the term 'Supreme leader' (or a Japanese equivalent), as opposed to 'Emperor', was actually used to describe him? --jftsang 11:21, 20 August 2017 (UTC)
Refer to Xi Jinping as future supreme leader... thanks. 112.201.14.188 (talk) 23:30, 21 April 2019 (UTC)
Sources are particularly important. The current Needs additional citations at the top of the article is there for a reason. Its particularly important for more recent entries. On that basic I've done a prune through the existing entries on the Post–Cold War era. If its had a pre-existing cite I've left the entry (there was one). For the remainder I chose to
I am neutral as to whether anyone should be in or out of this list and happy to go with consensus. I just want there to be citations to stop abuse. (We removed one with lots of citations a while back and we should likely be equally or moreso hard when people are not using sources. Any IP's needing a suggestion please consider using WP:REQUESTEDIT. Thankyou. Djm-leighpark (talk) 22:23, 15 May 2019 (UTC)

@87.18.64.165 (talk · contribs · WHOIS) Thankyou for coming back here. Unfortunately the google searches you suggest are too wide. I need one or more specific sources dpecified. We need a specific web page or book page that indicates "supreme leader". It needs to indicate that in some way that title was more than ceremonial ... More that the leader actually exercised supreme domination over his subjects without being held to account. If you can point me at a specific webpage or book page location where this is indicated we would hope we might be able to assist you add the content, though I do not guarentee it. I realise this is more stringent than has been exercised previously. See the existing items in the "References" section to see what we are looking for. Thankyou.

While I have to concede to @My very best wishes opinion on [1] this really is the exception to the rule that a source is required. The supreme leader must also have a really significant impact on the nation from a global viewpoint. I had managed to get all post war with everything in the list sourced, now without that keeping some ongoing surveilance on this page descending into anarchy will become much more difficult. That said if anyone strongly disagrees with a reversion then I ask they discuss here and go to dispute resolution process if necessary. THankyou.Djm-leighpark (talk) 18:38, 29 May 2020 (UTC)
IP seems to wish to remove Narendra Modi (India) from the list and get Semi-protection. Discuss and get concensus to support removal or otherwise. Thankyou. Djm-leighpark (talk) 07:43, 10 February 2022 (UTC)
