Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of United States Presidents by longevity 2nd nom
except '''weak keep for List of oldest Surviving members of the House of Representatives|Senators''' This is pure |trivia. The longevity of a person in power is but a biological fact, and is not entirely relevant to what they did, or how they did their jobs, except when the holder has died in office, but these are exceptions which are usually dealt with in the individual subject article. There is no reason I can see except to fulfill the anal obsession of certain editors to sort everything by every imaginable criterion. The only clear exception I see is the case of monarchs, whose reign is invariably linked to their longevity. The dates of birth and death of each president, chancellor, prime minister is already included in the individual subject article for anyone who is interested to look it up there. I support the retention of the long-lived senators because seats tend to be stable in many cases, and it appears to be a lot more common for these politicians to expire at the same time as their terms. wiki is #DIRECTORY|not a directory of every characteristic of people in power. Watch out, well be seeing articles on the longevity of the world's richest people next
