The result of the move request was: listed pages moved as described. I'd spotted this RM earlier this week and have mulled over how to close it, but consensus is quite clear here. Those supporting the move have made an adequate rationale for the move as supported by our manual of style, among other policies and guidelines cited in this discussion. Taking into account recent requested moves discussions similar to this one where a consensus was determined to move the titles to this style of title affirms the application of this manual of style guideline.
Those opposing the move have argued largely on principle, that a requested moves discussion from a year ago on List of Presidents of the United States that resulted in no consensus to move the titles, which was affirmed as no consensus after a moves review, supports the argument that the current format of article titles should apply. However, consensus can change, and more recent discussions as noted have found a consensus on similar articles to make the change. I don't see anything else in the opposition here to overcome the arguments by those supporting, hence my close in the affirmative. I would, however, recommend that a local discussion takes place on that article, rather than a page move taking place based on this discussion.

– Per Wikipedia's
MOS:JOBTITLES: "Offices, titles, and positions such as president, king, emperor, grand duke, lord mayor, pope, bishop, abbot, chief financial officer, and executive director are common nouns and therefore should be in lower case when used generically. They are capitalized... when a formal title for a specific entity... is not plural."
This Wikipedia guideline reflects major style guides such as
AP Stylebook and
The Chicago Manual of Style, which explicitly state that "presidents" (plural) should always be lower case and that "president" (singular) should be upper case only when preceding a president's name.

drawn from the previous liberal presidents of South Korea( The Atlantic).
be the stars and the new presidents of Syria( BBC).
Two former presidents of the Philippines( Washington Post). These aren't cherry-picked - in my searching, I didn't see 'presidents' capitalized once. It seems strange to ignore strong policy-based reasons to move these articles because it's been somehow decided that List of Presidents of the United States is the gatekeeper that must be passed before any other similar titles can be moved. If I'm reading the archives right, the last RM there was a year ago, and ended in 'no consensus'. Subsequent RMs for similar articles have found consensus, and it was in favour of moving to lowercase. What am I missing? Colin M ( talk) 01:55, 15 July 2019 (UTC)

Gotabaya Rajapaksa is yet to officially hand over the resignation. He fled the country and appointed Ranil Wickremesinghe as acting president in his absence. [1] So, can we consider 13 July 2022 as the end of Gotabaya Rajapaksa's term? 🔮 Plpm2021 💬 14:56, 13 July 2022 (UTC)
