List of current senators of Canada by age

 * – ( View AfD View log )

Unsourced WP:OR.The article is loaded with statistical trivia, such as their age at start of office, length of term, and current age, all in years and days. There is also a countdown section for 'Days until retirement' for xx,xxx thousands of days they potentially have left in office.

Doesn't even match the entries at Featured List quality List of current senators of Canada (94 Senators and 11 vacancies vs 77 entries in this article), and has been this way for years (ex. Margaret Dawn Anderson, appointed in 2018, is missing). Was proposed for merging, but nearly two years later, nothing has actually been merged from this article, so it's a valid AfD candidate. List of current senators of Canada is a Featured List without any age cruft additions from this article and is the best place to give an overview on the notable topic of individual Canadian Senators.

 * Ping  if they want to complete the discussed merge. Reywas92Talk 19:44, 20 October 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete. Yet another novel cross-categorizations based on age with no evidence that other independent sources collect such trivia. The main list already has the most (only?) important information: each senator's mandatory retirement date when they turn 75. As the nominator notes, lists of "current" things are especially prone to falling out of date so should generally be discouraged. pburka (talk) 00:49, 21 October 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete - I would suggest a merge with List of current senators of Canada but this process was started over a year ago and nothing happened. This is really WP:TRIVIA fails WP:LISTN and is plain listcruft. Vladimir.copic (talk) 01:38, 22 October 2021 (UTC)
