Godaan has "low importance"

Are we sure that Godaan has "low importance"? If I'm not mistaken, it's the most famous/relevant novel ever written in an Indian language. --Super nabla 15:11, 18 July 2024 (UTC)

@Super nabla: That's just a subjective rating an individual editor gave it on the Wikiproject Novels rating scale back in 2006. You are welcome to change it but frankly getting this assessment "right" is not of much importance. IMO any efforts are better expended on improving the article itself. Cheers.

Numbering Indian prime minister's

blatantly unnecessary to remove the numbering. It gives people idea of the post, it's history and it's stature. The post of PM is very much executive and it's important that we don't compare it to UK PM's position which is very much historic. I request to add numbers before the PM post. Felix the luck felicis (talk) 19:55, 20 July 2024 (UTC)

Indian 'jobtitles' count

Hi, since we have a consensus regarding 'PM Count', should we not extend it to other similar articles? I recently removed similar items from this article since the numbering isn't part of the jobtitle and common name, and as well as based on the bolded parts in the excerpt from Template:Infobox officeholder - "The parameter |order= is used in conjunction with |office= to state that the officeholder is the nth holder of the office, for example "42nd President of the United States". This should only be used when there is a well-established use of such numbering in reliable sources. Do not add numbers simply based on a Wikipedia list of holders of the office, because (1) the list may not be accurate and (2) even with a definite list, different numbering systems could be applied (as to how various categories of "irregular" officeholders should be counted, and as to the counting of those serving for multiple non-consecutive periods) making the numbers arbitrary..
If |order= is not specified, the value of |office= can be wikilinked in the usual way, for example, "Minister for Defence". - Fylindfotberserk (talk) 11:15, 21 July 2024 (UTC)

I agree to remove it. There are hardly any sources available for these types of “orders.” If we don’t have the correct PM order, how can we get the correct order for other office holders? GrabUp - Talk 11:19, 21 July 2024 (UTC)
