List of Chief Justices of Australia by age

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

This makes less sense than the political ones like Articles for deletion/List of German Ministers-President by longevity being discussed. I see zero connection between age and being the Chief Justice of Australia. This is not related to length of term or the like (although it seems like these are life positions so they are related) but it is in actuality a list of old people who happened to have been Chief Justice of Australia. Maybe length of term could be relevant but given that there are just twelve people involved here, there's only so many ways to sort these twelve names and this one seems trivial to me.

 * Delete, I've made a userspace copy of this. I suggest consolidate the two columns: Age at appointment, and Age at retirement into the Chief Justice of Australia article; along with a snipit of lead section text. Aeonx (talk) 09:28, 12 January 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete and consolidate the two columns suggested by Aeonx. Length of term is a relevant detail, so it would be good if that column could also be added to the table at Chief Justice of Australia and the table made to be sortable. None have died in office in the past and there is now a mandatory retirement age, so in my opinion the death and lifespan information is unnecessary trivia.

 * I like the consolidation idea a lot. Legacypac (talk) 03:18, 17 January 2016 (UTC)


 * Support Aeonx's and Athomeinkobe's proposals. Since Aeonox wants to use a snippet of the lead section text for Chief Justice of Australia, finds the information in the table useful, and saved a userspace copy of this, I do not think it would be helpful to delete the article's history and content. Therefore, to satisfy Copying within Wikipedia, merge/redirect to Chief Justice of Australia. Cunard (talk) 23:16, 18 January 2016 (UTC)
