List of members of the United States House of Representatives who died in 2012
Closer, please also see Articles for deletion/List of United States Senators who died in the 2010s, if possible the same administrator should close both. Xymmax So let it be written   So let it be done  22:18, 25 March 2012 (UTC)

This article is similar to the one on US Senators, which I also nominated for deletion. My concerns about the first article are identical to those I have about this one. dci &#124;  TALK   22:27, 8 March 2012 (UTC)  dci  &#124;  TALK   22:27, 8 March 2012 (UTC)
 * For the sake of clarity, please provide a link to the other discussion. Perhaps merge both discussions, if the rationale is sufficiently similar.—GoldRingChip  22:42, 8 March 2012 (UTC)
 * Strong keep - the topic seems sufficiently important - the death of a Congressman/woman is certainly an important event which would be covered by independent reliable sources — Preceding unsigned comment added by Wer900 (talk • contribs) 23:06, 8 March 2012 (UTC)

 * Delete, as well as the 2005-2011 lists. This seems to be simply trivia and a list just for the sake of having a list. Reywas92 Talk 18:54, 13 March 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete, as well as the 2005-2011 lists. Adds nothing to the encyclopedia. —GoldRingChip  19:16, 13 March 2012 (UTC)
 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

 * Delete per WP:IINFO. Trivial collection of stats with no reason or purpose.  See my comments on the other AFD for more. Andrew Lenahan -  St ar bli nd  16:50, 15 March 2012 (UTC)
 * Comment: if it's kept (which I opposed above), perhaps it could be merged with List of United States Senators who died in the 2010s as a new list: List of members of the United States Congress who died in the 2010s.—GoldRingChip 18:51, 15 March 2012 (UTC)
 * Keep per comment on related senate page. Dean B (talk) 04:40, 17 March 2012 (UTC)
 * Strong keep per RoadViews and my comments in the Senate article AfD. Newyorkbrad (talk) 21:44, 22 March 2012 (UTC)
 * Keep (Duplicate comment from other AFD) Although a profitable discussion could be had about whether to expand this to List of members of the United States House of Representatives by date of death as mentioned above. By virtue of position, each entry on this list will concern a notable person. The date of death is an essential fact in any biography. Given that this compiles notable facts about notable people, I cannot see how this can properly can be considered indiscriminate. Further, the fact that the information is duplicated elsewhere of no moment, all proper lists are a compilation of information available elsewhere.

 * Delete as over categorization. While these people are notable the fact that their deaths occurred in the same year is nothing but trivia that doesn't need an article pointing it out as it has not be noted in reliable sources.  Eluchil404 (talk) 07:39, 29 March 2012 (UTC)
