List of British politicians by wealth at death

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

Indiscriminate collection of information. It's not surprising to learn that many British politicians were rich, but what's the point of presenting this information in this form? Also original research with wholly inadequate sourcing. See, mutatis mutandis, Articles for deletion/List of British military, naval and air force figures by wealth at death.

 * Delete per nom. Maxamegalon2000 05:08, 9 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete due to use of latin in the nomination Indiscriminate information with no unifying secondary source. Also, the list itself skirts the limits of WP:NOR's idea of "naive" transformations. Also, no source showing notability. Protonk (talk) 05:31, 9 July 2008 (UTC)

 * Keep. This information is not original, but is sourced to two well known reference sources. It provides information helpful in answering a number of important questions about British political figures throughout several eras. The information is comparative, appropriate cautions are given, modern equivalents are provided and it is quite extensive. It will be of interest to general readers as well as those doing beginning level research. I suugest those who want to delete it, browse through the various articles of pure trivia throughout Wikipedia. This information is serious, accurate, useful and relevant. It concerns the leadership of Britain at a time when it was a great power. Polycarp
