Adding pending cases (again)

As per this previous discussion, pending cases should not be included in these lists. They violate WP:CRYSTAL and WP:OR (the GRG lists do not include pending cases). DerbyCountyinNZ ^{(Talk Contribs)} 04:57, 29 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Oldest man on earth is in India(180 Years)

http://noticiasvaishnavasemportugues.blogspot.in/2013/05/hanuman-das-baba-cerca-de-180-anos.html

Hanuman das baba is the oldest man on earth , he is 180 years old and still alive.— Preceding unsigned comment added by 182.73.21.234 (talk) 08:08, 3 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

This article is for verified people only. Vaguely realistic claims can be found at Longevity claims. More outlandish claims such as this one belong in List of people reported to have lived beyond 130 or Longevity myths, although a blog is not considered a reliable source so a better citation would be required before this could be included.

Missing articles on two people

Mary Rhodes - she is the only person over the age of 114 who has no article.
~~Naomi Conner - She is the only person of the 1800s still living who has no article.~~

Can somebody please create these two articles? Thank you. --I love old people (talk) 14:57, 6 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

One of the oldest living people right now is captain Józef Kowalski. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Józef_Kowalski He is currently 113 years old, and hopefully will get even older! Please put him on the lists in proper places. Thanks. Yairomi (talk) 15:27, 16 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

He is not verified and almost certainly never will be, therefore he cannot be included in this article which is for verified oldest people only. DerbyCountyinNZ ^{(Talk Contribs)} 20:32, 16 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

What about Carmelo Flores Laura?

Carmelo Flores Laura has stories from famous sources, like CNN and ABC, saying that Carmelo Flores Laura is 123 years old. (yay 1,2,3) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 166.82.146.188 (talk) 22:44, 17 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

This article is for verified people only. Flores is not verified and never will be, if you read his talk page you will see he is probably only 107. DerbyCountyinNZ ^{(Talk Contribs)} 23:22, 17 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Only one man has been verified to have lived to 116 years old. For a man to be allegedly 123 that is seven years past the oldest known modern lifespan. If it was claimed he was 116 that would be possible, 123 not possible. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.253.155.86 (talk) 03:58, 19 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

We can't say that a man living to 123 is impossible. The only fact that matters is that this man isn't verified. — JJJ ^{(say hello)} 14:07, 19 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

And he never will be. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.253.155.86 (talk) 03:34, 23 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
