Fails
WP:LISTN and
WP:GNG as there's no evidence that 35-50 year-old bishops are treated as a group by reliable sources. It's also arbitrary to limit inclusion to 100 people.
Fails
WP:NOTDIRECTORY as these are relatively minor officials within the church, many of whom don't even have Wikipedia pages.
Delete Bishops can be appointed as young as 35, so it's not that unique, defining, or notable that 100 of those appointed in the last decade happen to be under 50.

Oppose/Keep - the media constantly portrays Catholic bishops as an old man's club, so a list of relatively younger bishops might be of genuine interest to some readers. The Pburka's argument that the list is unverifiable is incorrect, as Catholic Hierarchy already keeps an up to date list
see here. The several comments saying that the article is full of red links and therefore unneeded ignores the fact that bishops in the Catholic Church and several other denominations are presumed notable per
WP:NBISHOP, so if a few editors are willing to invest a little time that issue can be quickly resolved.

And all the entries here are either the head bishops or auxiliary bishops of their respective diocese/eparchies, something which is easily verifiable by looking at the references or a simple search online.

Delete - Bishops by nationality makes sense (especially given the historical relevance of nationality in Church politics) but this cross-categorisation is really quite meaningless. Those particularly noted for being especially old or young (to the point of receiving coverage for it) would be independently notable, and so can have articles crated.
