I don’t believe that this is a valid disambiguation page because I don’t believe that anyone has ever referred to the Prime Minister of Ireland as the “Indian President”, and the other entries in this list are equally fanciful. It might be possible to rename this to “list of heads of state or government of Indian heritage but I’m not sure there’s much point in that. Mccapra (talk) 07:31, 19 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

• Redirect to President of India. Literally no-one is going to search for anything else with this term. Dronebogus (talk) 07:44, 19 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Any particular reason to redirect Indian president (disambiguation) to President of India when Indian president already redirects there? Anyone typing the former, longer title is going to pass the latter, shorter one, and the target isn't a disambiguation page. TompaDompa (talk) 04:27, 20 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
• Agreed, this seems like a set index article in search of a topic. --Joy (talk) 11:01, 19 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
• Rename or Delete agreed per previous points about the article title making no sense, should be a List of Heads of State of Indian Ancestry or just deleted outright. - Epluribusunumyall (talk) 20:23, 19 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Many of the people on the list aren’t heads of state though. Mccapra (talk) 08:18, 20 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

• Merge: Merge this article to List of foreign politicians of Indian origin.❯❯❯ Chunky aka Al Kashmiri (✍️) 13:59, 20 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I’d be happy with that, thank you. Mccapra (talk) 14:04, 20 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Sure. But even after the merge, the resulting redirect wouldn't make much sense, what are the odds that an average reader looks up "Indian president" and expects to see that? This title is just weird and needs to go after any merge. --Joy (talk) 07:38, 21 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
