Proposed merge of List of sitting judges of the Supreme Court of India with List of former judges of the Supreme Court of India

I propose merging List of former judges of the Supreme Court of India into List of sitting judges of the Supreme Court of India that be renamed List of judges of the Supreme Court of India. Doesn't seem to warrant a stand-alone list. Snickers2686 (talk) 17:48, 11 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose; both articles are long, and the List of former judges of the Supreme Court of India will only grow over time. As there is no overlap in scope, then merging doesn't solve a duplication problem. Hence, readers are best served by retaining articles in their current structure, for readability. Klbrain (talk) 12:31, 14 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Why would it be hard to read assuming there's a chart/table? Several other "List of..." articles are formatted that way. That would negate the readability issue. Snickers2686 (talk) 15:21, 23 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I support keeping this list as a separate article.

The current list is usually what is relevant for readers trying to follow current legal cases, the makeup of benches, seniority, the next CJI in line and so on.

Merging the articles will make it harder to do so. Abhigonibeed (talk) 16:14, 2 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Support However, the article should be clearly separated into four heading:

Current Justices,
Current Collegium,
Former Chief Justices, and
Former Justices.

One might consider, with or without replacing the Current Collegium, add two columns to Current Justices and Former Justices for

duration of service as members of Collegium, and
Number of Supreme Court Justices nominated.
