This list should be deleted as the set is a non-notable grouping of items (the group not mentioned by sources) and therefore fails WP:LISTN. -KAP03 (^{Talk • Contributions • Email}) 21:47, 21 April 2020 (UTC) -KAP03 (^{Talk • Contributions • Email}) 21:47, 21 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Also nominating List of United States politicians with doctorates for the same reason. -KAP03 (^{Talk • Contributions • Email}) 21:50, 21 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Keep There are several reliable sources covering the topic (doctorate degrees) including coverage from the Clerk of the US House, the Economist, the Chronicle of Higher Education, Brookings, and Forbes. The list is well defined and has encyclopedic value (especially if the introduction was expanded to signify context). --Enos733 (talk) 23:51, 21 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Delete the divinity list, keep the doctorate list. Former is an unnecessarily specific cross-categorization since we don't need dozens of articles for politicians with engineering degrees, or law degrees, or business degrees or whatever, but latter is a better scope and has specific coverage.

Delete divinity per our non-notable grouping list policy, keep the doctorates per our non-notable grouping list policy (as the latter is covered by sources.) SportingFlyer T·C 20:41, 23 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Delete divinity article per WP:LISTN. The other article should have been nominated separately (as its criteria is more defined), so for that I'm going Weak keep. Ajf773 (talk) 08:22, 28 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
