Living presidents of Bolivia

 * – ( View AfD View log )

The article contravenes WP:INDISCRIMINATE policy and WP:GNG guideline. Wikipedia is not an indiscriminate directory of information; there is no context for the information found in this article. There are no sources indicating that this topic is of interest to scholars. I am fairly certain that no reliable source discusses just how many former presidents of Bolivia were alive between 4 September 1884 and 15 August 1888. Surtsicna (talk) 09:31, 14 August 2021 (UTC)

 * I don't understand why this article or Living presidents of India are being considered for deletion while Living presidents of the United States is not. If the living presidents of the U.S. merit an article than why shouldn't the exact same list for other countries not? Four of the seven sources on that article simply posit on the fact that the U.S. was experiencing a record number of living presidents. Further, the Bolivian article in question cites Presidentes de Bolivia: entre urnas y fusiles. This is one of the most reliable and foremost sources on Bolivian presidents with the specific pages cited referring to a literal table of dates of birth and death of each president of Bolivia.

 * I'm in concurrence with regards to the first two sentences by . All of these must be considered in tandem. Curbon7 (talk) 10:23, 14 August 2021 (UTC)
 * Different topics receive different amounts of coverage in reliable sources. It may well be that "living presidents of the United States" is a topic that receives "significant coverage in reliable sources". It does not mean that this topic does too. If you believe Living presidents of the United States should be deleted too, feel free to propose it. Surtsicna (talk) 10:30, 14 August 2021 (UTC)

 * Delete per my arguments at the AfDs for the same lists for the USA (1) and India (2). RandomCanadian (talk / contribs) 23:07, 28 August 2021 (UTC)

 * Delete As with Articles for deletion/Living presidents of India, this is to my eye an WP:INDISCRIMINATE collection of statistics without context or explanation of significance, and as such WP:DELREASON (Any other content not suitable for an encyclopedia) applies. I don't see anything worth merging to List of presidents of Bolivia, and I don't think this title would make for a useful redirect. If we want to, we can add the year of birth and death below each president's name to List of presidents of Bolivia (as is currently done at List of presidents of India) and/or create a graphical illustration akin to Template:Lifespan of each President of India, but those things can be discussed separately.
