In short, this is a list of various tenures of PMs of Australia and the number of former PMs alive during that tenure. Do we need such a convolution of existing data on wikipedia.

There are also pages like List of Prime Ministers of Australia by age,wouldn't a simple sort of the age column in List of Prime Ministers of Australia be enough? Daiyusha (talk) 10:01, 26 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Fascinating? but certainly not encyclopedic, ie, what is the use of the articles. WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS, hence does not count. Sadly someone has done a lot of work. Definitely looks like WP:OR and mild WP:SYNTH. I note that at least one of the other existing articles is already tagged as such. If a graph could be provided of the number alive at any point in time it might be a !definite keep? Aoziwe (talk) 10:50, 26 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Keep No, the List of Prime Ministers of Australia by age can't be used to see the same information. The two Age columns are for the age at which the PM assumed office, and the age at which they left it. The Died column (the date of death) might have been used this way, but it sorts the living PMs (ie without a death date) next to those with the earliest death dates - and in any case, we'd need to be able to sort by multiple columns at once. This article could do with some improvement in the text (I don't think we've had any dead people who've served as PM), and it needs references, plus I would suggest reordering the columns to Start date, Start event, End date, End event, Duration, Living PMs - but it is a very useful tool for seeing which former PMs were alive at any point in time. As for whether it's a topic that is notable and has coverage: there are often articles about living former prime ministers in regards to how many are drawing pensions, and when one dies, how many are still alive and/or turn up at the funeral.
