Timeline of Prime Ministers of the United Kingdom

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Orphaned, practically unreadable due to the size, violates MOS:SCROLL, and under construction for years. Frietjes (talk) 17:13, 5 October 2015 (UTC)
 * Delete. I suppose illegibility is not a reason for deletion, though this one is a good argument for changing that, and I think it violates WP:COLOR as well. As for content, this is covered in List of Prime Ministers of the United Kingdom (quite well, actually--it's an FA), and we have Template:UKPrimeMinisters, and Category:Prime Ministers of the United Kingdom, so this strikes me as an unnecessary quadruplication.

 * Delete. How long they lived before and after their terms in office have not attracted much interest/study. Clarityfiend (talk) 22:58, 5 October 2015 (UTC)
 * Comment. Looks like it really wants to be a graphic timeline rather than a Wikipedia article.  Did you ping the original creator, User:P.hogg, to see if they want to keep a copy in userspace? --Amble (talk) 00:12, 6 October 2015 (UTC)

 * Comment Wow-those were my eyes! Ok-this article is about the most user-unfriendly list/timeline I've seen here. But can someone more knowledgeable chime in and confirm that appalling style is valid deletion grounds? I can't find a provision for such a thing -- just verifiability, reliable sources, encyclopedic (one probably could have found a timeline like this in an old school encyclopedia), and the catch-all of notability.--69.204.153.39 (talk) 04:53, 11 October 2015 (UTC)
 * Delete per Drmies above – content is already more than adequately covered in List of Prime Ministers of the United Kingdom. This page in it's current form does not really stand up as an encyclopaedia article. └ UkPaolo/talk┐ 07:41, 11 October 2015 (UTC)
