Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of United States Senators who died in the 2010s
I still think these comments are being overly critical. This satisfies , it's presenting information in a different way. I also think people are being thrown off by the title and thinking that the "2010s" thing is trivial. Again, it is only done like that because if I named it the original title of List of United States Senators by date of death, it would be too long and would need to be broken up. I think a great example of precedent is List of Presidents of the United States by date of death or List of supercentenarians who died in 2012. Both of those can easily be viewed as not notable, not widely covered as a whole, or trivial, especially the former as it is plagued with trivia. However I think all of this kind of information is beneficial at least to some people even if others think it's trivial. This is all notable information and not found anywhere else in one place. There's really no compelling reason to wipe this from WP, especially when there's list after list on here that could potentially fall under this same category. How about List of comic and cartoon characters named after people, I don't care about this, I don't see why it's notable as a whole, and it is rather poorly sourced, but since it is a list, someone has taken information and put it all in one easy to view place. This is the kind of stuff that enriches WP, but may not be for all tastes. There are countless examples on here and I think it's valid to at least point out how there are worse lists out there that receive less scrutiny. If you read all my previous comments on the page, I have demonstrated it's notability and have provided a link http://www.senate.gov/senators/Biographical/necrology.htm that further cements it's relevancy. But I don't even think I needed to go that far, as making a list of senators by date of death on it's own should be an acceptable topic to make a list on
