Emma Morano

Is Emma Morano deceased? There is an update on the Italian page from what looks to be Robert Young (GRG) showing that she died today 03/25/2017, aged 117 years, 116 days. TFBCT1 00:32, 26 March 2017 (UTC)

Robert Young GRG 1974 to 2017 looks like a fake account. DerbyCountyinNZ ^{(Talk Contribs)} 01:19, 26 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

She died on Saturday, 04/15/2017. Kostaki mou (talk) 19:31, 17 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Kicchi Innoue

On 03/31/2017 I added Kicchi Innoue to the overflow of this list. He was not even on the radar to be added, but I saw that his birth date was on target, so I added him. He has now been reliably reported deceased as of 03/21/2017. He was never on this list, so he is not subject to the stringent gudelines for removal and can be readily replaced on the overflow. I added him to the overflow on 03/31/2017, and now I am removing him on 04/11/2017 based on current information. So for the usual suspects, don't add him back citing gudelines that don't apply to this situation.TFBCT1 17:22, 11 April 2017 (UTC)

I restored him earlier because someone cited the 110 club forum as a reference. I think anyone that uses that as a reference should be reverted. But thanks to whoever found an appropriate source. CommanderLinx (talk) 06:46, 12 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Olga Yvonne Agar

Does anyone know why Olga Yvonne Agar is listed on the African Supercentenarians Wikipedia Page, but is not listed on the Oldest Living People wikipedia page? Seems inconsistent. Wikipedia page for African Supercentenarians where Olga is listed: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_African_supercentenarians JasonPhelps (talk) 03:11, 23 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

She used to be listed here, but then someone removed her. https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=List_of_oldest_living_people&oldid=768886599 I don't know why they removed her. 2602:306:3653:8440:7DE2:4DEE:626A:B08D (talk) 15:54, 23 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I have restored her to the list. If she shouldn't be included in the list for some reason, it should be discussed here why that is. PizzaLuvver (talk) 23:30, 23 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Removing Olga Yvonne Algar from list using the same rationale as was used on 03/06/2017 when she was removed. "Deleted one African longevity claimant. This case is the same as Carmelo Flores Laura, Hryhoriy Nestor and Sudhakar Chaturvedi." Not credible. I'm removing her from the African page as well. TFBCT1 11:40, 28 April 2017 (UTC)

Also of note, she was only added to the African page (2) days ago. So there's your inconsistency, not that she wasn't on this list. TFBCT1 11:48, 28 April 2017 (UTC)

News about 116 Mexican woman being denied a bank account

There has been a vivid interest on the Internet about some Mária Félix from Mexico, who had reportedly asked for something in a bank but was refused for being too old (the computer system had a maximum age limit). I am not sure if these news are reliable as there could be one source and other media did no further research and simply assessed the information as true.

Similar to the others listed in Longevity claims. DerbyCountyinNZ ^{(Talk Contribs)} 09:21, 28 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Sahae Kawabata

I have removed Sahae Kawabata from this list. I see that she has repeatedly been placed back when other users have removed her. While it is true that she has been reported deceased as of 04/30/2017, her source listing her on this page is from 09/09/2015. Nothing more is needed to remove her. Provide a current source that she is alive or she remains off the list.TFBCT1 (talk) 09:15, 10 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Ilse Weiszfeld

Ilse Weiszfeld was moved to limbo she is no longer listed under Living Supercentenarians on the GRG list [1] 173.69.20.107 (talk) 01:38, 12 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
