Living former cabinet members of the Netherlands

 * – ( View AfD View log )

Per all the other similar pages: unencyclopedic intersection (WP:NOTDIRECTORY) of "living" and "former X". Does not accomplish any encyclopedic or reader helpful function (all of this information is likely included already in pages about the respective cabinets, without the WP:OR). No evidence whatsoever this has any encyclopedic notability (WP:LISTN) beyond the pure WP:NOTSTATS trivia it is. RandomCanadian (talk / contribs) 12:36, 25 September 2021 (UTC)

 * Delete The intersection of "has held public office X" and "is still alive" is to my eye self-evidently a WP:Non-encyclopedic cross-categorization, and as such WP:DELREASON (Any other content not suitable for an encyclopedia) applies. Of all possible parameters to list this group of people by, being alive is certainly one of them – but so is being born on a Wednesday. TompaDompa (talk) 18:06, 25 September 2021 (UTC)
 * Note And now I've just realised [the reason I did not find this earlier]: there's a whole other Category:Lists of political office-holders by age, which includes a fair number of similar "X by longevity" or other such statistical trivia nonsense...

 * Delete per the nom and @TompaDompa. This is a WP:OR list that's just a WP:SYNTH of the intersection career, age, and more. Wikipedia is not a WP:Directory, nor a hub for WP:TRIVIA. Newshunter12 (talk) 00:42, 28 September 2021 (UTC)

 * Delete, no encyclopedic value. Geschichte (talk) 19:38, 28 September 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete. For prime ministers or heads of state a detailed table of longitivy can be justified. This is certainly not the case for government ministers of small countries like the Netherlands, while only having alive or not as criterium. gidonb (talk) 07:36, 29 September 2021 (UTC)
