List of Formula One drivers by longevity

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

Arbitrary ranking of racing drivers and their ages at death - or yesterday, if still living. Delete. I42 (talk) 21:26, 21 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per WP:INDISCRIMINATE.--Jimbo W junior (talk) 21:41, 21 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Delete The article is irrelevant to the topic of formula one. Wikipedia is not an indiscriminate collection of information. Acebulf (talk) 21:46, 21 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Delete This list puts two unrelated facts about a person together: 1. He was a Formula One driver. 2. He lived to be over 80 years old (the oldest so far is 99). There is no relationship between the two. None died on the racetrack and it is not claimed that their racing experience lengthened or shortened their lives. You might as well have "List of former girl scouts who lost the most money in the 2008 stock market crash" or any two items. Steve Dufour (talk) 23:56, 21 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Do be mindful of WP:BEANS, man - else someone will turn List of former girl scouts who lost money in the 2008 stock market crash by severity of loss will become a bluelink. UltraExactZZ ^Said~ Did 13:33, 24 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - as unlikely, unhelpful and unencyclopedic concatenation of subjects per WP:SALAT and WP:INDISCRIMINATE. - DustFormsWords (talk) 00:33, 22 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - it's trivia. It's fancruft. It's not notable. --Falcadore (talk) 12:05, 23 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
I additionally note that the relevant creating editor of this article has been active across very similar, and similarly deleteable list-articles. List of Presidents of Switzerland by longevity. List of German Federal Ministers by longevity. List of longest lived state leaders. How many of these trivial longevity lists are there? --Falcadore (talk) 12:17, 23 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Delete as hopeless fancruft. Warrah (talk) 17:19, 23 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per the above. The ages of living former athletes is a reasonable fact to include in their articles, or perhaps in other contexts as one of several facts about a set of individuals - but we don't need an article for it. It's only really notable for the oldest living former driver - and that goes in his article. UltraExactZZ ^Said~ Did 13:33, 24 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
