The result was delete. As opposed to the list for the US presidents, this one has zero sources so it is hard to argue that it is not OR or SYNTH. Tone 18:11, 15 December 2018 (UTC)

List of living Prime Ministers of Sweden

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Similar case to Articles for deletion/Living Prime Ministers of Australia, trivial article that is a list of various tenures of PMs of Sweden and the number of former PMs alive during that tenure.Unlike the Australian page, this sweden page has no corresponding "List of PMs by age" page. Creating a page for the "list of PMs of sweden by age",and deleting this page, might be more in tune with an encyclopedia in my opinion. Daiyusha (talk) 06:07, 8 December 2018 (UTC)

 * Delete for similar reasons to the Prime Ministers of Australia AfD. We already have List of Prime Ministers of Sweden which is a much more encyclopedic coverage of the topic. Ajf773 (talk) 19:51, 8 December 2018 (UTC)

 * Keep - valid topic per precedent at Articles for deletion/Living Presidents of the United States - WP:AFDNOTCLEANUP and WP:Systemic bias 82.132.186.90 (talk) 19:45, 9 December 2018 (UTC)
 * Keep - The argument about creating a "List by age" holds no water - such an article would give no indication that there were once 11 living PMs, nor any indication of whether such an occurrence were a regular occurrence or not. This article conveys significant information that conforms to WP:5P1. The lack of references provides no support for deletion; the raw information - dates of accession and dates of death - is clearly attributable, even if not attributed in the words of WP:OR.  The additional information - numbers alive at each moment - is easily derived by simple calculation (WP:CALC). Hence, this is by no means WP:OR. YBG (talk) 01:11, 11 December 2018 (UTC)
 * I add that the proposal to delete this article but leave the corresponding UK PM, US President and US VP articles un-nominated leaves WP open to a charge of being UK- or US-centric. The AfD for the US Presidents list (Articles for deletion/Living Presidents of the United States) (a strong keep) has many arguments that apply equally to this article. The arguments that do not directly apply to this one are the arguments that cite specific discussions in the popular press. This may be because such discussion has not taken place in the Swedish press, but without access, I have no way of knowing. YBG (talk) 01:41, 11 December 2018 (UTC)
 * Keep - the age lists do not easily or clearly show the same information. Closeclouds (talk) 01:59, 11 December 2018 (UTC)
 * No doubt,the age lists do not show the same info, but other than the "list of former PMs alive right now", its not very likely someone would try looking for number of former PMs alive during a particular year. Daiyusha (talk) 08:50, 11 December 2018 (UTC)


 * Delete per Ajf773. It's unsourced and violates WP:LISTN. SportingFlyer  talk  02:21, 11 December 2018 (UTC)
 * Keep - for the reasons given by YBG above (especially in his latter posting). /FredrikT (talk) 13:26, 14 December 2018 (UTC)
