Total content fork of Current members of the United States House of Representatives where all the detail (except exact birth dates) and more can be seen. Legacypac ( talk) 06:59, 30 December 2015 (UTC)

- Delete. I agree that this is a WP:CONTENTFORK with Current members of the United States House of Representatives, which you can sort by the members' year of birth (see WP:DEL-REASON). The author clearly put a lot of work into this page, and if they want to preserve the information, I would encourage them to add the date and month of birth for current members at Current members of the United States House of Representatives (but please make sure to substantiate all assertions with citations to reliable sources). -- Notecardforfree ( talk) 19:24, 30 December 2015 (UTC)
- Delete. Redundant content fork. We shouldn't spin off articles based on sortable table elements. If that's not a guideline somewhere, then it should be. NinjaRobotPirate ( talk) 10:29, 31 December 2015 (UTC)
- Keep If nothing else, the article's age at which they entered Congress is notable in its own right, as it has major career, leadership, and tenure implications. And if anything, the year of birth should be removed from the clunky current members page. Star Garnet ( talk) 08:16, 3 January 2016 (UTC)
- Ummm, you want to delete the (to you critically important) variable that makes the TITLE of this list unique from the article It duplicates to save this article? Is that correct?

- No, that was more or less a gripe at how long that more basic list takes to load with four hundred odd photos and the painful sorting therein. And pointing out that it is not likely that any more detail will be added to that page in the absence of this article. Also, vaguely hinting that the other elements of that list would probably be deserving of their own article, such as List of hometowns of current members of the House, in which simultaneous and former hometowns would add politically significant nuance, as this list does.
