Time elapsed between first appointment and final departure from the role as Prime Minister

Listcruft (perhaps better termed tablecruft?); neither encyclopedic nor notable. KurtRaschke (talk) 01:33, 15 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep but clean-up and re-title as it passes WP:RS and WP:N. Dalejenkins | 01:37, 15 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete. Wikipedia is not an indiscriminate collection of information, and IMO all the truly relevant info is already included in List of Prime Ministers of the United Kingdom (I suppose one could add a "time served" column there, but that's not an AfD issue).

 * Delete - indiscriminate list - do any third-party sources care to mention this detail? Also, there are other countries besides the UK which have Prime Ministers, you know... - Biruitorul Talk 03:48, 15 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Comment The whole name issue is something that can be solved by calling it List of British Prime Ministers by time in office. Whether it should be merged depends on whether the dates used to make the calculations can be determined from reliable sources. - Mgm|(talk) 10:03, 15 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep Despite the clumsy and nondescriptive title, it's a sortable table that can be used to compare the British prime ministers in several different categories-- alphabetical order, date of birth, date of accession to office of PM, etc.; comparative tables of that nature have been a mainstay in reference books such as Joseph Nathan Kane's Facts About the Presidents and would be applicable to the heads of government in other nations as well.

 * Delete indiscriminate trivia. Start a website if you think this is fun. NOt here.Bali ultimate (talk) 15:48, 15 April 2009 (UTC)
 * merge any relevent info not already included in the existing, better titled and sourced List of Prime Ministers of the United Kingdom. PaulJones (talk) 19:46, 15 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete this has absolutely nothing to do with the Prime Minister of Russia. 70.29.213.241 (talk) 05:41, 16 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep and rename to List of British Prime Ministers by time in office per Mgm. This provides a good navigational and informational purpose that is not served by the main list of British Prime Ministers, and it does not fall under any consensus determination of indiscriminate information.
