Puzzle 874.Consecutive integers with increasing or non decreasing quantity of divisors

Fred Schneider recently sent the following puzzle proposal:

I had an idea for a couple of new sequences.  I believe they haven't been done before.  I can provide more terms if necessary
 
Consecutive numbers which have an increasing (>) or non-decreasing (>=) number of divisors.  

For example:   3 has 2 divisors.  4 has 3 5 has 2.  So, 3-4 is a sequence of length 2.
(n, t) n is the first number, t is the length of the sequence

Increasing:
1) 2
2) 3, 4
3) 73-75
4) 61-64
5) 35221-35225
6) 11371-11376

Non-decreasing:
1) 4
2) 5,  6
3) 2, 3, 4
4) 13-16
5) 1613-1617
6) 241-246

These are now drafts in OEIS: A284596- Increasing; A284597 - Non-decreasing

...Shoot, similar sequences have already been created.  I guess it's worth still trying to extend them

A075028 - increasing
A075046 - non-decreasing

Q1.Would you like to extend these sequences.
