List of members of the United States House of Representatives who died in the 2000s

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

This article should be deleted as it is a simple listing of information failing WP:DIR. It also contains unexplained stats violating WP:NOTSTATS. The article is also a WP:SYNTH as the original sources do not directly state the information presented in the article. -KAP03(Talk &bull;&#32;Contributions) 00:17, 21 February 2017 (UTC)
 * I would also like to nominate the following for the same reasons:


 * Comment: This was hashed out before at Articles for deletion/List of members of the United States House of Representatives who died in 2012 and Articles for deletion/List of United States Senators who died in the 2010s, with no consensus. In creating these pages (and a few you missed), I was simply merging these pages with better formatting. Star Garnet (talk) 00:50, 21 February 2017 (UTC)
 * I nominated all the pages now. -KAP03(Talk &bull;&#32;Contributions) 01:00, 21 February 2017 (UTC)
 * Missing List of members of the United States House of Representatives who died in the 1990s. List of members of the United States Congress by year of birth and death, Template:USCongressBirthsDeaths and about fifty redirects would be technical deletions if this were successful.

 * I'll note the existence of List_of_former_members_of_the_United_States_House_of_Representatives_(A), which could be modified to better incorporate the information in these lists. meamemg (talk) 02:29, 21 February 2017 (UTC)
 * Delete per meamemg. This information can be handled within the other set of lists by splitting the last column (lifespan) into years of birth and death. A bit inconvenient to have to do this 26 times, but the decade of birth or death is simply not that significant. Clarityfiend (talk) 02:44, 21 February 2017 (UTC)

 * Keep Although I am opposed to moving the representatives to a one decade page as the size is too large and it was already length consistent with the senators. I also favor changing the title to "List of United States Senators by date of birth and death (xxxx)" for example as that would make it feel less stat like or indiscriminate. Each entry on each list could use a reference from the congres.gov bio guide, that would totally satisfy where all the information is gotten from as the simple age calculation is acceptable per WP:CALC. All of the other list requirements are met, these are notable people for sure and there's no quick and easy way to see when they were born or died. I find that some editors can't handle another list on here, when the information is valuable and done in good faith to add value to WP. There are countless very discriminate lists that all meet WP:DIR as does this one. This takes all readily presented information and compiles it as stated which absolutely does not meet delete standards, if it did, WP would be losing tons of articles and valuable information with such tenuous interpretation. The argument against these lists is weak at best in my opinion. RoadView (talk) 10:22, 21 February 2017 (UTC)
 * Delete all They're not notable for their decades of birth and death. This is a trivial way of dissecting members of Congress. – Muboshgu (talk) 00:56, 26 February 2017 (UTC)
