Delete This page isn't simply about the "earliest serving United States senator" but to be accurate should properly be entitled using the description from the lead as List of the earliest serving United States senators among those currently living (sitting or former) and a list of those who at the time of their deaths had served at the earliest date among those current or former senators then living which just highlights how obtuse the premise of this article is.----Pontificalibus 15:08, 3 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Delete as synthesis, and a fork of Seniority in the United States Senate. See also my deletion comments at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Earliest living former members of the Australian House of Representatives. Bearian (talk) 20:24, 7 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
