List of Chief Justices of the United States by time in office

Although I wouldn't go so far as to say the length of office is trivial, I do think it just isn't notable for its own separate article. If the number is deemed necessary for inclusion in the encyclopedia, I think adding that one extra column to List of Chief Justices of the United States would suffice.

 * Merge Although this is clearly important information, I agree an extra table in List of Chief Justices of the United States would be sufficient. There is no need to make it its own separate article.Josophie (talk) 20:55, 25 April 2013 (UTC)
 * Both tables are relatively the same except for two extra columns with the length of their time in office and the length of their retirement. If both are deemed necessary, adding the columns will suffice. There's no need for an extra table. Feed  back  ☎ 22:02, 25 April 2013 (UTC)
 * Agreed, adding the extra columns would suffice Josophie (talk) 16:12, 28 April 2013 (UTC)


 * Merge non-redundant material to List of Chief Justices of the United States . As others have noted above, the need for this list is eliminated by adding two additional columns of information to the primary list.  Dirtlawyer1 (talk) 22:31, 25 April 2013 (UTC)
 * Merge length of term only. How long they were retired and when they died is irrelevant. Clarityfiend (talk) 22:43, 25 April 2013 (UTC)
 * As retired Justices typically remain active in some capacity (O'Connor is even hearing cases in lower federal court), the length of their post-retirement life is relevant information. postdlf (talk) 17:21, 29 April 2013 (UTC)
