Deletion of List of surviving veterans of World War I

Comment: aside from the article being a notable intersection and near a natural death anyway, the nomination statment is very odd, indeed; aside from its using in Korea and the Gulf War in an attempt to illustrate a point, which I'm not quite sure I've got, it's invalid per the deletion policy: #CONTENT|disputes over page content are not dealt with by deleting the page

Comment: to List of last surviving World War I veterans by country. I'm rather suprised by this nomination, it smacks of frivolousness to nominate a list for deletion because of a disagreement over one entry (even if that entry makes up a third of the list). I'll also respond to the the only policy-based argument for deletion, which was KoshVorlon's claim that this list violates , which makes me question: which clause? It doesn't qualify as a violation of #OR (the dispute not withstanding), MEMORIAL (how can it memorialize a person who still lives?), DIR (not a directory), nor  (a very clear and specific scope that is not a trivial intersection). However, it does seem rather redundant to List of last surviving World War I veterans by country, and will eventually have to be redirected there once the last of the survivors die (which is likely to be soon, given thier advanced ages). Most of the information that is unique to the current article can be easily moved, and the edit history preserved with a redirect. I alo not with suprise and mournful regret to see that Frank Buckles passed yesterday, perhaps the impetus behind this motivation
