She is a S.African woman who lived from July 4 1874?--June 2 or 3, 2009 aged 134 years and 333 or 334 days. Perhaps her case should be put here as well? 218.186.12.226 (talk) 12:11, 17 November 2009 (UTC)
EDIT: I'm sorry, she's actually 134? years and 336 or 337 days old. 218.186.12.237 (talk) 11:57, 18 November 2009 (UTC)
- FYI, she is claiming an age above 130 years which does not match the criteria for any of the tables. The table with the highest age claim range is 115–130. It doesn't leave a place for her in the table, for she is outside the 'grey zone' of 130 years and below. BrendanologyTalK 12:48, 29 January 2010 (UTC)
- There was a table at longevity myths. Perhaps it can be restored there.Ryoung122 12:50, 29 January 2010 (UTC)
Sadiq Sawut
Here would be an another sitation in English for Sadiq Sawut age from China Daily. The article also points out a new name 'Maihefu Zihan' who at the time of writing the article has been said to be 118.

- this person (Zhan) died in 2009, see the list from the past.Ryoung122 20:15, 4 December 2009 (UTC)
Shukhrat Aliyeva
Her passport actually says only "1887" but the article states that she claimed birth January 1, 1887:
http://news.cincinnati.com/article/20091203/NEWS0103/312030068/Did+Louisville+woman+die+at+122
which would come to a claim of 122 years, 334 days.Ryoung122 20:16, 4 December 2009 (UTC)
It doesn't matter if the case is "false" or not
The purpose of this list is mainly to show that there are a great many claims to extreme age, worldwide, and to list cases that are within the realm of believability but are probably not true. As such, trying to "clean up" the list may be going too far. Yes, let's move cases where definite evidence of falsity (such as census matches) have arisen. But simply because I say a case is false, doesn't mean it shouldn't be here.
Again, the purpose of this list is to have a gray-area list of claims from around the world, age 115-130 (deceased) and 113-130 (living), that have "neither been proven true nor proven false."Ryoung122 08:04, 20 February 2010 (UTC)
Watfa al-Ghanem
Why has Watfa al-Ghanem, of Syria, been removed arbitrarily from the Incomplete Claims list? Has the main criterion been that she is approaching 130 years of age? If so, then for consistency, Nelson Schneider, Maria Olívia da Silva and, soon, Tuti Yurupova will have to be deleted, even though these people may be (and are) still alive. What are the rules for deletion: reaching 130 years of age or not being heard of for a period of time, usually 10 years?
