Per the arguments in Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Cardinals over the age of 80 in Papal conclave, 2013. Merging to either the main conclave article or the list of cardinals who did participate would make little sense: not participating in conclaves upon turning 80 has been the standard practice after the reforms of Pope Paul VI following the Second Vatican Council, and these individuals are not notable as a group for not doing something. At most, it could be mentioned in their individual articles, but even then I don't think it would be required. Not doing something that one is not expected to do isn't notable for an article on its own or noteworthy for inclusion in another article in most cases. Additionally, as it stands, the article is entirely unsourced. My suspicion having done work with conclaves on Wikipedia would be that the origin source is the Salvador Miranda page on cardinals, which is self-published.
