List of supercentenarians born in Austria-Hungary[edit]

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

This article groups together the information found on the country specific articles and is an unnecessary subset of the Europe article all linked here Template:Longevity. For example, EVERYONE born 110+ years ago in modern ~~Poland~~ (too confusing) so Austria was born in Austria-Hungary. It creates a maintenance hassle in an area where accurate updates are tough because of the poor coverage of these people by RS. Legacypac (talk) 04:44, 9 December 2015 (UTC) Actually, independent Poland as it existed pre-1773, 1918 to 1939, and again from 1945 to the present, includes parts of the former Austro-Hungarian Empire, German Empire, Nazi Third Reich, Russian Empire until 1918, Soviet Union from 1945 to 1991, Lithuania, Belorussia and Ukraine. In the last 242 years, Poland has been much larger, much smaller, and non-existent geographically. Oh, and for the record, during the partitions of Poland between 1773 and 1795, the Russian Empire got the largest slice of Poland as it existed prior to 1773. Thought you should know.

Delete - Per nom. Massive redundancy considering more than half the countries here have their own article while the rest of the names are available in the "deaths in year" articles. Also fails WP:LISTN because there are no sources (not even the GRG) that discuss this particular list. CommanderLinx (talk) 10:24, 9 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Europe list is enough. EEng (talk) 13:41, 9 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. We have country-specific supercentenarian lists. Austria-Hungary was a country. The fact that the people are listed in other (modern country) lists is immaterial. By that rationale, the Polish list isn't necessary (and a "maintenance hassle") because it's included in the European one. Clarityfiend (talk) 01:19, 11 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Glad you mentioned that as the Poland list is also up for AfD because it is a confused mess covering a people born in a country that did not exist. It needs to be merged into the Europe list too. Legacypac (talk) 01:58, 11 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Delete I'm not seeing any type of justification/coverage for a standalone list on this topic. Also what CommanderLinx said. Canadian Paul 06:11, 11 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Delete: This one has the very same issues as the Russian Empire article. We cannot reliably maintain this fork. Ceosad (talk) 17:13, 13 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
