Add that a woman, Lillian Elliot from Guyana that is alive was verified as born on July 31, 1909. The source to the newspaper article is here: https://uncutnews.co/2024/03/guyanas-oldest-resident-receives-gift-of-new-home-from-generous-philanthropist/ 24.186.141.111 (talk) 01:10, 16 May 2024 (UTC)

Not now... Hi, generally to be on this list, the longevity claim needs to be verified by the Gerontology Research Group (GRG) or "LongeviQuest".
You may wish to contact the GRG first to initiate the process. Please note that only the oldest 50 living people are in the list, & the youngest is over 112 years old. Peaceray (talk) 16:34, 17 May 2024 (UTC)

100

Upon look at the edit history I see the list used to be 100 entries there was then a discussion to trim it down to the current size the discussion however was in favor of keeping the list at 100 the user seemingly overruled the consensus and trimmed it anyway I think that with more realablie sources for older people such as lq eso and las that a 100 person list can be maintained Wwew345t (talk) 05:14, 24 May 2024 (UTC)

It seems that one certain person whom I won't name rules all the Wiki "oldest people" pages with an iron fist. This person changes edits at will and for no reason except that she wants to. GermanShepherd1983 (talk) 00:27, 27 May 2024 (UTC)
