List of peers retired and removed under the House of Lords Reform Act 2014

 * – ( View AfD View log | edits since nomination)

The list of people who have resigned from the House of Lords is already absurdly long, and it is only going to get longer every year. What's the point? It may have seemed like a novelty when the first resignations began happening, but this law has been in force for nine years now. No other article about a legislature maintains a list of everyone who has resigned from it. Richard75 (talk) 23:47, 24 July 2023 (UTC)

 * What about having it in list of decade of retired peers Earl of Sutton Coldfield (talk) 14:19, 25 July 2023 (UTC)
 * That would help with the length, but it still doesn't deal with notability. Why does this list need to exist at all? Richard75 (talk) 15:39, 27 July 2023 (UTC)

 * What are you supporting? deletion or keeping? 35.139.154.158 (talk) 14:12, 27 July 2023 (UTC)
 * Delete as a pretty clear failure of WP:NLIST. I see this was split out from House of Lords Reform Act 2014, and I think WP:CARGO applies here.  I also note that the main article doesn't even appear to be notable on its own.  Sources in it are all primary, and I found very very little discussing it on its own, and when I did, it was usually in the broader context of previous reform efforts generally.  35.139.154.158 (talk) 14:12, 27 July 2023 (UTC)
 * Delete I think is should be done by decade which may work as life peers are separated by 1958-1979, Thatcher-Major, New Labour, C(ameron), M(ay), J(ohnson), T(russ) and S(unak).
 * That doesn't address notability though. Richard75 (talk) 15:39, 27 July 2023 (UTC)
 * OK but it would work if you had them in decades. Earl of Sutton Coldfield (talk) 22:04, 27 July 2023 (UTC)


 * Deleted I created these as this maybe the solution:
 * List of peers retired under the House of Lords Reform Act 2014 (2014–2020)
 * List of peers retired under the House of Lords Reform Act 2014 (2021–present)

It is easier to maintain and just keep up to date with either the deaths and the future retirements.

 * I’m not convinced that those meet notability standards, seeing as how they are essentially forks of this article. 64.107.163.147 (talk) 16:16, 31 July 2023 (UTC)
