[edit] Problem with title and naming conventions
There is a big naming problem with this article. As you will see in the article on the Prime Minister of Spain, Spain hasn't got a President but a Prime Minister, but as in Spanish he is referred to as Presidente del Gobierno this causes a lot of confusion. Therefore, the Spanish Vicepresidente Primero actually means Vice President of the Government (not of Spain). The title is actually equivalent to that of Deputy Prime Minister. So, I think the article should be named either:
- First Vice President of the Government (Spain)
- First Deputy Prime Minister (Spain)
- First Vice Prime Minister (Spain) (problem with this one: no such position exists anywhere as far as I know)
For the time being I'm going to change the heading of the list to "List of First Vice Presidents of the Government of Spain". I'm also going to extend it with content from the Spanish article and explain the terminology slightly.
Does anyone know how to change the name of the article (a redirect would be kept, of course)? Which of the three options (or any others) do you think is most appropiate? --Daniel Medina 16:18, 26 Jun 2005 (UTC)
