List of United States Presidents by birthday
Delete - unencyclopedic trivia. The order in the year that the various presidents were born is irrelevant to anything. Otto4711 23:49, 15 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete This is a clear example of information which is verifyable, about notable people, but still not encyclodedic. What's next, xxxyyy? (removed so it is not next per WP:Beans).Obina 23:57, 15 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete next we'll see a list of Presidents by Zodiac sign. Oh, darn, I've given them ideas.--Wehwalt 00:16, 16 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete per Obina. Factual, somewhat useful, verifiable, notable, but entirely unremarkable and unencyclopedic. wtfunkymonkey 00:54, 16 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete as unencyclopedic listcruft. Hmmm, off to create list of president by total score = shoe size + hat size + IQ + zip code.  SkierRMH 03:25, 16 January 2007 (UTC)

 * Delete - this kind of information should be database-generated in some future generation of mediawiki. it should not be its own article. --lquilter 21:13, 16 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment It might be possible to expand the article to include year of birth, and present two lists: one sorted by month/day of the year, and another sorted by birth year/month/day. If you also threw in year of death, you'd have an interesting set of tables that show relative age of each president, puts their births and deaths in historical context to each other, and that might provide some insight into how presidents born in similar years share certain cultural or philosophical traits.  So while I agree that the article as is doesn't have much to offer besides a reader saying "Oh look, Harry Truman and my brother have the same birthday!", I think an expansion using birth and death years might offer some possibly useful historical information.

 * Comment The information could be combined with List of United States Presidents by date of birth. It seems to fit the category. Just an idea. Jjmillerhistorian 14:29, 17 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Merging this list with the date of birth list sounds like a good idea. I'd support that too. Dugwiki 17:23, 17 January 2007 (UTC)


 * Comment I created this article a while ago when I was still a little confused about Wikipedia's policies. I would agree with a move to the birthday article - and sorry about the conflict. Mrmaroon25 21:44, 17 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Merged and Redirected The article has been merged with List of United States Presidents by date of birth. The Birthday article has been redirected to this. Jjmillerhistorian 14:36, 18 January 2007 (UTC)
