Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Heights of United States Presidents and presidential candidates (2nd nomination)
I strongly deny that this article is |trivia.  Firstly, it is part of the general category on http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Lists_relating_to_the_United_States_presidency lists relating to the United States presidency, which includes many aspects of the Presidents' lives, including their List of United States presidential nicknames|nicknames, United States presidential pets|pets and whether they're Handedness of Presidents of the United States|left-handed or right-handed.  If their height is trivial, then so are these other aspects.  United States Presidents occupy a significant part of US history and society, so it is reasonable to document more aspects of their lives than other people.  Secondly, as this article highlights, the height of US presidential candidates is a particularly topical issue in presidential politics, as it has been suggested on a number of occasions that it plays a role in which candidate voters prefer.  That this is a particularly noteworthy phenomenon is verified by seven different sources in the article.  Furthermore, it fits in well with the topic of Heightism in general, which is linked at the bottom of the article and which also notes the issue of whether height plays a role in US politics.  This article has been nominated twice before for deletion - on 2007-02-08 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/List_of_heights_of_United_States_presidential_candidates and on 2008-11-27 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Heights_of_United_States_Presidents_and_presidential_candidates - and each time it failed
