Trivial cross-categorisation ("age/age at death" and "Academy Award winner/nominee") which is also statistical trivia. Unsourced WP:OR. The article is a deeply confusing series of tables and chronologies of the oldest and earliest living winners or nominees of "Academy Award X", and is a trivia bonanza.

Similar to five recently deleted articles at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of Academy Award for Best Actress winners by age (2nd nomination). Newshunter12 (talk) 17:16, 20 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete. It might be a reasonable cross-categorization if the list reported the ages at which the people were nominated or won, but it's based on their current age. Longevity and film-making are unrelated topics, and this is clearly a non-encyclopedic cross-categorization. I'm sure a lot of work went into this, but it's not notable and probably original research. pburka (talk) 17:32, 20 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. Another one of the interminable "oldest/youngest" lists that are being pruned. Oldest/youngest at the time of winning is the only notable criterion. Clarityfiend (talk) 00:07, 21 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete per nom, just yet another list of meaningless gerontology trivia and WP:OR. Dronebogus (talk) 00:48, 21 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete I believe there has been enough precedent set to delete these kind of lists. Fails WP:LISTN with big WP:V and WP:BLP issues. Vladimir.copic (talk) 23:23, 21 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete - WP:FANCRUFT, WP:TRIVIA. Platonk (talk) 03:59, 24 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete per nom. Topic also seems to fail LISTN as the only sources are 'top 10' listicles. Avilich (talk) 16:50, 25 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete – per the nominator. – Kavyansh.Singh (talk) 17:07, 25 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
