{{edit semi-protected|List of oldest living people|answered=yes}}
People on this list must have evidence that they are alive. As that cannot be determined from day to day the only obvious point to establish this is when they reach a birthday. If there is no reliable citation for their most recent birthday then it is likely they are not alive, two months for this seems more than adequate. Keeping people on the list because there is no citation for their death is unscientific: failure to prove a negative is not the same as proving a positive. <span style="background-color:red;color:lime;">DerbyCountyinNZ</span> <sup> (] ])</sup> 00:50, 18 January 2011 (UTC)

== Cochabamba supercentarians ==

I'd like to add three media-reported supercentenarians to this list, from Cochabamba, Bolivia. These individuals and a dozen others are being honored in a public Centenarian event, have had their birth dates confirmed by the National Retirement System in Bolivia (Senasir), and are currently local media coverage including in major local newspapers. I doubt there is any contact between them and the GRG mentioned here. However, this list seems oriented to the GRG's categories. How exactly can they be added?--] (]) 20:10, 7 February 2011 (UTC)

:::::Well, we know that the serious nature of this article will end soon, when the circus in ArbCom ends, but we don't need to loose temper. So, I will try to rephrase- there is a section in this article for unverified cases of people between 110 and 113 years old. Even they are unverified, they need a proper citation, telling the birthday and that the person is still alive. If the person is than 113 (dead or alive) years old put it on ].] (]) 15:12, 13 February 2011 (UTC)

== Proposed year ban on regular editors of this article ==

For those that are unaware, there is a proposal ] that many of the regular editors of this article, including myself, be banned from editing any longevity related articles for at least 1 year after which they may request, once every 3 months, permission to resume editing. Most are also threatened with a 1 year "behavior restriction" for making "any edits which are judged by an administrator to be uncivil, any personal attacks, or any assumptions of bad faith". 3 guesses who is responsible for this. <span style="background-color:red;color:lime;">DerbyCountyinNZ</span> <sup> (] ])</sup> 22:02, 10 February 2011 (UTC)

::This is a nightmere!!! JJB should be banned for ever, and all the religious fanatics that spread like a cancer in the wikipedia. What pleasure does he have on destroying serious work? This is a test to wikipedia itself. Any result except forbidding JJB to rotten longevity related articles is a further step to endanger wikipedia as a reliable source.

::The ] is too large. What can I do to help wikipedia?] (]) 00:01, 11 February 2011 (UTC)

== Shigechiyo Izumi ==

Shigechiyo Izumi should be removed from all wikipedia pages as his claim is no longer being accepted by any reliable source. Guinness dropped the case in the 2011 edition and Robert Young confirms ] that GRG has as well. Epstein has also removed him from his list.] (]) 22:03, 17 February 2011 (UTC)

== WOP citations ==

As per the recent ArbCom decision, and the clarification ], WOP can no longer be used as a citation for people included in the unverified list in this article. They will therefore need to be removed. Any person with no other citation claiming to have celebrated a 110th birthday will also need to be removed. <span style="background-color:red;color:lime;">DerbyCountyinNZ</span> <sup> (] ])</sup> 20:59, 18 February 2011 (UTC)

Per ], ] doesn't apply, but edit-warring does no one any good. So I'm making my plea here: These are living people. Louis Epstein's OHB list is not a reliable source. It fails ] and it is specifically excluded in the Notability and sourcing guidance at the WOP WikiProject page. If you don't like that, please try to generate a new consensus on the WOP talk page. But on a page about living people, to revert the replacement of genuine reliable sources with ones that are not, is serious business. It's childish, too. Please comply with the rules. ] (]) 22:42, 1 March 2011 (UTC)

== Proposal on Sortable Tables ==

If the months in the table dates are shortened to 3 letter abbreviations (Jan, Feb, Mar, etc.) then the wikitables can be made into wikitable sortables. Shortening the months would allow the table to detect them as dates, thus making it sortable in chronological order (Currently it doesn't recognize the format '01 January 2001' as a date, but it recognizes '01 Jan 2001'). This would also give the option to sort by country, gender, or any categories in the current columns. ] (]) 06:13, 5 March 2011 (UTC)

== viuda de … ==

Re: the recent removal of ''viuda de'' surnames: It's a bit blithe to treat all "Spanish speaking countries" as a unit on this issue. ] discusses a variety of conventions. Despite a year living in Cochabamba, the exact convention here is not clear to me. Nor is the convention that might be embraced by women born around 1900. I can say that local media have clearly presented ''viuda de …'' as a part of these women's names, not as an explanatory or parenthetical note. Further, their inclusion reduces ambiguity and aids in readers specifying these individuals. As such, I'm restoring the text.--] (]) 14:47, 7 March 2011 (UTC)
