Deletion of List of living former United Kingdom MPs

Comment: The intersection of "has held public office X" and "is still alive" is to my eye self-evidently a on-encyclopedic cross-categorization, and as such #14 ({{tq|Any other content wikipedia:What Wikipedia is not|not suitable for an encyclopedia}}) applies. Of all possible parameters to list this group of people by, being alive is certainly one of them – but so is being born on a Wednesday

Comment: Lists of living former holders of a political office are not the kind of content it's valuable for Wikipedia to maintain. For one thing, they're not necessarily updated promptly (or at all) when people die — when I reviewed (and AFDed) the similar list that formerly existed for Legislative Assembly of Ontario a number of years back, I found ''four'' dead people on a spotcheck of just ''seven'' entries without even going through the whole list, meaning that it simply wasn't getting updated for accuracy at all. Furthermore, this list depends ''very'' heavily on |primary sources rather than |reliable or notability-building ones; that is, most people's status as still-living is referenced ''solely'' to their Hansard biography ''instead'' of to any recent news story suggesting a reason why there would be anything ''significant'' to be found in the intersection of "former MP" with "not dead yet". If no other sources are ''discussing'' the ''significance'' of the grouping, such that you have to rely on primary sourcing to compile an |original research list of something because other independent sources haven't already done that for you, then that's not a list Wikipedia should be maintaining or curating. And no, applying an arbitrary election date cutoff to separate living former MPs who "belong" in the list from living former MPs who "don't belong" in the list just doesn't solve the problems with it either
