[edit] Last surviving cast member

I can think of absoultely no rhyme or reason why this page should be in an encyclopedia. It serves no purpose (be it useful, informative, interesting or even relevant). Stenun 19:20, 3 May 2006 (UTC)

• Oh dear lord, please delete I don't think anything else really needs to be said. -- Kicking222 20:02, 3 May 2006 (UTC)
• Strong Delete. Wikipedia is not a crystal ball, yet this article insists that actors will die eventually. Everyone knows that they live forever in the hearts of their fans or something. --Several Times 20:16, 3 May 2006 (UTC)
• Delete. "Unfortunately, who exactly the last surviving member was is often an issue of contention." A prime reason why this list is inherently unencyclopedic - there are no objective criteria for this list. The sub-categorization within each movie listed only confirms the subjectiveness of this list. Fluit 22:34, 3 May 2006 (UTC)

• Errr ... I would think that the objective criterion for this list would be "when the last cast member dies," myself. Painfully obvious replies aside, Delete and Merge the information as trivia bits into the individual films cited. RGTraynor 23:01, 3 May 2006 (UTC)

• It was mostly built by an IP address last fall. A few users have added to it since. The problem I have with it is its arbitrariness and incompleteness. If you're going to do something like this, you pretty much have to do every movie, which could get lengthy. I concur with Merge and Delete... put the info, where known, on the individual movie pages, if it's not already there. Wahkeenah 00:11, 4 May 2006 (UTC)

• Merge and delete. Send any useful information to other pages. Sue Anne 21:13, 4 May 2006 (UTC)
• Delete, not very useful and horribly incomplete list. BryanG 23:00, 4 May 2006 (UTC)
• Delete per above. Ardenn 04:27, 5 May 2006 (UTC)
• Delete: Basically production trivia that has no relevance to the content of the artistic works. (Although I think there is a concept of Last surviving cast member for the one character still in the film at the end, for some murder mystery or horror films.) Peter Grey 07:15, 5 May 2006 (UTC)
• Delete no useful value. Carlossuarez46 17:18, 5 May 2006 (UTC)
• Delete. I doubt information from the article is not in other articles already, but if not, it could be merged. -- ReyBrujo 06:12, 6 May 2006 (UTC)
