The result was delete. No consensus here for a redirect, but if somebody wants to do that later, I'm not going to stand in their way. -- RoySmith (talk) 00:16, 14 December 2015 (UTC)

This List creates an undue maintenance hassle. We already have at least three supersets above it: List of the verified oldest people and seperately Oldest_people covering the world, and List of European supercentenarians plus subsets of the list by country like List_of_Norwegian_supercentenarians, List of Finnish supercentenarians, etc. Since there is nothing inherently notable about the Nordic countries as a group intersecting with old age, this list should be merged up into the Europe List and then deleted. A redirect to the Europe list could be left if desired. Legacypac (talk) 06:32, 6 December 2015 (UTC)
- Delete Totally redundant. Why do we need such a list for a group of countries, when the same information is adequately presented at the country and continent level? Vanamonde93 (talk) 09:42, 6 December 2015 (UTC)
- Delete per nom. We also don't need the Balkans, Iberia, the Low Countries, etc. Clarityfiend (talk) 02:48, 8 December 2015 (UTC)

- Delete Fails WP:LISTN as there are no sources (not even the GRG) discussing "Nordic supercentenarians". Also redundant because as stated, each name in this article is also covered in the country and deaths in year articles under Template:Longevity. CommanderLinx (talk) 01:06, 9 December 2015 (UTC)
- Redirect to European list, obviously. EEng (talk) 07:32, 9 December 2015 (UTC)
- Çomment' turns out this list ALSO has overlap with List of supercentenarians born in the Russian Empire (modern Finland born people) which is also up for deletion. Legacypac (talk) 09:09, 9 December 2015 (UTC)
- Delete then redirect to European list. There is no nexus between being Nordic and being long-lived. WP:FANCRUFT David in DC (talk) 18:12, 10 December 2015 (UTC)
- And even if there was it would be no less visible in the Europe list. (I'm still unconvinced we shouldn't have just one giant world-wide list.) EEng (talk) 18:19, 10 December 2015 (UTC)
- Delete I'm not seeing any type of justification/coverage for a standalone list on this topic. Sign me up for the giant worldwide list. Canadian Paul 06:08, 11 December 2015 (UTC)
