Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of longest-lasting empires
This is not a duplicate of List of empires, even if it provides some of the same information, it provides it in a different format and is useful for navigation and informational purposes. It is not original research unless the same information in List of empires is also original research. Even if the two lists could be consolidated by adding an age/duration-column and making the list sortable, this list should not be deleted ''until that is done'', and even then making this a redirect is a better option, and in fact |policy says that we don't need to delete duplicate articles. And unless you can be sure that content was not moved from one article to the other, we shouldn't delete for GFDL reasons. It is certainly not redundant with List of largest empires, which contains no information about how long the empires lasted. Finally, any defects with the article can be solved by |fixing them. If the Japanese empire belongs here, add it. Finally, this is clearly not indiscriminate information as the longest-lasting empires are clearly of interest to writers of http://books.google.com/books?q=%22longest-lasting+empire%22&btnG=Search+Books books and http://scholar.google.com/scholar?q=%22longest-lasting%20empire%22&sa=N&tab=ps scholarly articles
