Trivial cross-categorisation which fails WP:LISTN and is just the same as usual WP:NOTDATABASE-listcruft. See also recent AfD logs for similar lists of living former government officials from plenty of other nations... RandomCanadian (talk / contribs) 17:01, 7 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. There are similar articles for senators and representatives which should probably be evaluated as well.2601:241:300:B610:D14F:D58D:3EC0:80E7 (talk) 22:18, 8 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per nom. Goes against WP:NOTDIR and as there are no sources at all, let alone sources that specifically cover this listing as a group or set, fails WP:LISTN. Rorshacma (talk) 16:13, 9 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Delete The intersection of "has held public office X" and "is still alive" is to my eye self-evidently a WP:Non-encyclopedic cross-categorization, and as such WP:DELREASON#14 (Any other content not suitable for an encyclopedia) applies. Of all possible parameters to list this group of people by, being alive is certainly one of them – but so is being born on a Wednesday. TompaDompa (talk) 19:12, 9 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
