Oldest Living Person

I think it's Masima Leonora Noel, however Dorrisile Dervis and Tava Colo's age I think is true as well, just like Masima Leonora Noel.

Masima Leonora Noel is currently −1,790 days away until she turns 118.
Dorrisle Dervis is currently −1,774 days away until she turns 118.
Tava Colo is currently −1,777 days away until she turns 117.
Kane Tanaka is currently −1,766 days away until she turns 117.

Name	Date of Birth	Current Age
Masima Leonora Noel	1901-12-09	122 years, 329 days
Dorrisile Dervis	1901-12-25	122 years, 313 days
Tava Colo	1902-12-22	121 years, 316 days
Kane Tanaka	1903-01-02	121 years, 305 days

What sources reveal these names?? Please make sure that they are not Wikipedia mirrors, AND that they are very reliable with the subject of longevity (including to whatever extent is possible if GWR or GRG or IDL is biased in any way.) Georgia guy (talk) 01:53, 27 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Their ages are true in my opinion, why do u always have to revert back to Kane Tanaka? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2605:A000:1103:144:B49A:BFBA:F899:4DF4 (talk) 02:51, 3 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Your opinion counts for nothing. STOP wasting everybody's time with these pointless posts. DerbyCountyinNZ ^{(Talk Contribs)} 03:47, 3 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

If Kane Tanaka gets the GWR certificate as the WOP, and what happens if we discover that she was actually a year older than her validated age, I may think her birth date is 2 January 1902, and she would turn 117 on 2 January instead of 116, but likely her birth date is 2 January 1903. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2600:1:91d1:b1f2:70b6:67b8:c321:8d0c (talk) 00:47, 26 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Edited to remove the quote from an interview "Mike sux dix and cox". Can't reach the source, so couldn't see what she actually said. I therefore removed the whole line. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 59.189.60.68 (talk) 08:01, 14 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Article

I made the article about Nabi Tajima in here, because her article was blocked. Do you want it to be about Nabi Tajima or Kane Tanaka.

Nabi Tajima was almost 2 1/2 years older than Kane Tanaka, the day when Nabi Tajima would've turn 118, the validated world's oldest living person was Kane Tanaka. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2605:A000:1103:45:A86B:3DE:7FE6:F8A8 (talk) 03:42, 17 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Dead?

Is she really dead?, when I saw an edit she died, there isn't any news or anything about it, just verifing, or is it just vandalism?.--2605:A000:1103:45:6D92:39FE:DA61:A8E (talk) 19:54, 26 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

It's just vandalism. Georgia guy (talk) 20:11, 26 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Confusing attribution of success

Three competing hypotheses seem to be here regarding what she credits her longevity to. One, at least, may be discounted: her grand-nephew's opinion that it is her belief in God (paragraph 4). This 3rd party opinion is more recently contradicted by the "family, sleep, and hope" statement of Newsweek (paragraph 3). Finally, the beginning of the fourth paragraph appears to be substantiating further claims, but doesn't specify what she is attributing to the sweets, coffee, and other beverages she consumes.

I would like to remove the statement from her grand-nephew, as it is both contradictory and misleading from Tanaka's own accreditations, but not being a long-standing member here, would like to ask if that is warranted in this case.

Mephisto Tabernacle (talk) 18:24, 9 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

The statement from her grand-nephew is well-sourced to a press interview, and properly attributed to him as he relayed it from her. No reason to remove it. I have edited the text about Tanaka's drinking habits: she did not credit those things for long life, she just enjoys drinking them. — JFG ^talk 04:36, 3 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Defining Kane Tanaka's parents

Kane Tanaka is Japanese. Assuming my knowledge is correct, in Japan a married woman's parents are defined exclusively as her husband's biological parents, not her own. Any information on how the infobox should deal with this statement?? Georgia guy (talk) 01:32, 11 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Entirety of the text provided as source for an apparent fabrication.

Text of "San Marcos couple celebrate aunt’s 113th year" from the San Diego Union Tribune, as it stands at this writing with byline Linda McIntosh.

MAY 6, 2016 1:59 PM Lake San Marcos residents Gary and Linda Okada Funakoshi recently visited Gary’s great-aunt Kane Tanaka, 113, who lives in Japan and celebrated her birthday earlier this year.
Tanaka likes to write poetry and still remembers her trip to the United States in the 1970s when she visited relatives in California and Colorado.
She gets around with the aid of a walker and lives in a nursing home.
Funakoshi said his great-aunt attributes her longevity to her faith in God.
Tanaka, a supercentenarian, is the 14th oldest person in the world, according to the Gerontology Research Group based in Los Angeles. She is the fifth oldest person living in Japan, Funakoshi said pointing to a list on Wikipedia.
