== New part of HTML comment at top of list ==

Lately it has been common for a GRG-validated person to die and for GRG's list to have them on their list for a few days after their death. For this reason, I want to know if anyone can add the following information to the HTML comment:

Having a reliable source revealing the person died is sufficient for a person to be removed from the list; there is NO requirement that the person has been removed from GRG's list.

:Correct. If someone on the list has been reported to have died by a reliable source then they should be removed. Whether or not they have been reported by the GRG as deceased is irrelevant. ] <sup>(] ])</sup> 07:12, 9 October 2019 (UTC)

{{edit semi-protected|List of oldest living people|answered=yes}}
I have just removed seven individuals for various sourcing issues (sources are fan websites, no date of birth, not about them, etc.) Many of these individuals have been added by @]. TFBCT1, do not add individuals who do not have actual reliable sources that are dated within one year and have a reliably sourced date of birth. Also, when adding an individual, you must fill out the whole citation, never just slap in a url and call it a day. All such contributions do more harm then good and need to stop. If such conduct continues, any editor may be taken to ANI. ] (]) 13:58, 3 November 2019 (UTC)

::@] Thank you for the support. Not sure if it will do any good to add them, but the additional fan websites used here were: supercentenariditalia.it and najstarsipolacy.pl The more fundamental problem, unfortunately, is TFBCT1's longstanding refusal to follow the policies of this and other related pages and just adding people based on what Gerontology Wiki says about them. ] (]) 14:53, 3 November 2019 (UTC)

For the record, I have never used Gerentology Wiki as a source, and nowhere does it state that using a sole url is inadequate.

I just reviewed the individuals removed by Newshunter12. Four of the seven were added by me of the recent near 25 I have added to this list to keep it updated. I am in disagreement with two that were removed, but will not contest do to the editor’s uncompromising nature. I will here admonish Newshunter12 not to threaten me on public talk pages for “good faith” errors or I will be forced to take action against him. It appears by the page history that your edits have not been well accepted by all.] (]) 16:19, 3 November 2019 (UTC)


Izabel Rosa Pereira is the only person in the list not being veryfied by Gerontology Research Group. Checking "LongeviQuest", I could not even find an article in Misplaced Pages about this group. How reliable is it? Is Mrs Pereira's age verified by other groups or at least accepted for approval by Gerontology Research Group? Does it make sense to keep her listed in top ten without further evidence?
