Please don't undo page mergers that were done per consensus, as you did with List of current presidents. Consensus was clearly in support of it, as you can find on the following page.[1] Needforspeed888 (talk) 13:33, 24 March 2019 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of File talk:List of heads of state of Botswana[edit]
A tag has been placed on File talk:List of heads of state of Botswana requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done for the following reason:
Speedy deletion criterion G8: Pages dependent on a non-existent or deleted page - talk pages with no corresponding subject page. This is a file talk page for a non-existent file, created by an anonymous user who has had to be systematically reverted in their other Botswana contributions (and quite likely elsewhere too).
Under the criteria for speedy deletion, pages that meet certain criteria may be deleted at any time.
If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here.

The President of the Republic of Botswana is the head of state and the head of government of Botswana, as well as the commander-in-chief of the armed forces, according to the Constitution of Botswana.
The president is elected to a five-year term that runs concurrently with the term of the National Assembly. Since 1997, it has been limited to a total of 10 years in office (equivalent to two full terms), even if they are nonconsecutive. Candidates for the legislature declare whom they endorse for president when they lodge their nomination papers. The candidate who receives a majority of endorsements from the elected members of the National Assembly is automatically elected.[1][2][3] If no candidate receives a majority of endorsements, the National Assembly elects the president by simple majority, before it co-opts the specially elected members. If no president is elected after three ballots, or if the Speaker determines that no candidate has enough support to be elected, the legislature is automatically dissolved.[2] In practice, the president is the leader of the majority party in the Assembly.
