Readers of this page are welcome to comment on this redirect at Wikipedia:Redirects for discussion/Log/2024 August 8 § Interim Government of Waker uz Zaman until a consensus is reached. — Saqib (talk I contribs) 05:04, 8 August 2024 (UTC)
- I am against this redirect simply because it is inaccurate. There is no such government. Waker uz Zaman has never taken power or tried to take power after the student protest, he simply announced there would be an interim government, not that he would head it or that the military would be involved. Adding a redirect provides legitimacy to a claim which is- by all accounts, nonsensical akin to Mike Johnson redirecting to the Biden Administration because he is Speaker of the House. There were concerns and people open to the possibility of a military government, but Yunus has been sworn in and the military has not tried to take an active political role. The link between Waker uz Zaman and the current cabinet is non-existent, since Yunus was directly chosen by the protestors rather than the military. Poundthiswriter (talk) 00:58, 21 August 2024 (UTC)
Constitutional basis
[edit]@Saqib: did you know if the 2011 amendment have been repelled? Panam2014 (talk) 18:51, 8 August 2024 (UTC)
- Panam2014, I have no idea. I'm not from Bangladesh and don’t know much about it. But ask me anything about Pakistan—I'm happy to help! — Saqib (talk I contribs) 18:57, 8 August 2024 (UTC)
- It has, I added a section covering this and the effect it has on the legality of interim cabinets such as Yunus' Poundthiswriter (talk) 01:17, 19 August 2024 (UTC)
RENAME ARTICLE
[edit]Based on other wikipedia articles concerning Chief Advisers such as "Iajuddin Ahmed Cabinet" and "Fakhruddin Ahmed ministry", etc. , I propose that we rename this article to "Mohammad Yunus cabinet" or "Muhammad Yunus ministry" or even better "Muhammad Yunus interim cabinet/government/ministry"
My points:
1. Like all the cabinets/ministries that are named, the title of the article always refers to the head (aka. Chief Adviser).
2. This government is supposed to go on for much longer than just 2024. Most likely, the government is to stay here for 3 years. So, 2024, 2025, 2026, and 2027. Hence, the name "2024 Bangladesh interim government" does not make sense to me. GucciNuzayer (talk) 19:46, 8 August 2024 (UTC)
- @Wiki N Islam:, @Addo Adwin:, @ApurboWiki2024:, @Lahsim Niasoh: We should name it "Mohammad Yunus ministry", just like the first interim government of Bangladesh of Shahabuddin. It also doesn’t make sense to have "interim government" in the title.Need some thoughts...Bruno pnm ars (talk) 04:47, 13 August 2024 (UTC)
- For consistency I would indeed prefer Muhammad Yunus interim cabinet or Muhammad Yunus cabinet, as this seems to be the wikipedia standard (I am new though so don't quote me on that), however I don't agree with point 2, since Yunus has already stated he wishes for elections to occur as soon as possible [1]https://www.business-standard.com/world-news/bangladesh-interim-govt-committed-to-holding-free-and-fair-elections-yunus-124081700381_1.html so let's not jump the gun regarding the duration of this cabinet and just update as things develop rather than speculating. Poundthiswriter (talk) 01:16, 19 August 2024 (UTC)
- @Bruno pnm ars: @Poundthiswriter: I completely agree with changing the article name in accordance with the other cabinet/government articles on Wikipedia. But only Yunus ministry is enough (note I have kept the "Yunus ministry" emboldened in the article and as the cabinet name in the infobox). The reason for this is that, as long as the head of the government is recognizable by his last name, the first name isn't required. For example, when creating the article for Abu Sadat Mohammad Sayem's 1975 interim government, I named it simply Sayem ministry since he is recognizable by the last name. In the case of Shahabuddin Ahmed or, say, Sheikh Mujibur Rahman, the last name is extremely common and hence the first name or personal name is required. In the latter's case, only "Mujib" is enough since he headed multiple ministries like Khaleda Zia, for example. - Ash wki (talk) 07:29, 24 August 2024 (UTC)
Inclusion of the "Coord" template
[edit]Greetings and felicitations. While I'm generally for the inclusion of {{Coord}}
templates, I don't see the point of one in this particular article. Comments? —DocWatson42 (talk) 21:49, 9 August 2024 (UTC)
Background section template
[edit]The "Background" section of the article is some sort of template, this makes it a pain in the ass to edit (at least on PC) or change inaccuracies or to update it. I suggest removing the template so it can be edited without hassle like the other sections, since there are a lot of developments in the Yunus government right now and keeping everything up to date is already a challenge as it is.

- @Poundthiswriter Update the actual article the excerpt is from. It's not like the current developments are changing the background. We're talking about what happened that led to this government, right? - Ash wki (talk) 07:43, 24 August 2024 (UTC)
