Subject: Request to Add Information on Swami Sivananda to the Wikipedia Page on Oldest Living People
Dear Wikipedia Editors,
I hope this message finds you well. I am writing to bring to your attention the remarkable life and achievements of Swami Sivananda, a 125-year-old yoga guru from Kashi, who recently received the prestigious Padma Shri award, acknowledging his extensive contributions to the field of yoga and community service. Given the significance of his age and accomplishments, I believe his profile would be an invaluable addition to your page dedicated to the oldest living people.
Swami Sivananda was born on August 8, 1896, in the Sylhet district, now part of Bangladesh. Despite the early loss of his parents and a childhood marked by poverty, he pursued a spiritual path from a young age. Over the years, his unwavering commitment to yoga and his selfless dedication to serving those in need, especially leprosy-affected individuals in Puri, have garnered him widespread respect and admiration.
His life, underscored by a philosophy of love, service, and spiritual practice, embodies profound teachings and inspirational values. The acknowledgment of his contributions through the Padma Shri award at the age of 125 not only celebrates his personal achievements but also highlights his significant impact on society and the field of yoga.
Given the exceptional nature of Swami Sivananda's journey and achievements, incorporating his information into the Wikipedia page on the oldest living people would enrich the content, offering readers insight into a life characterized by remarkable longevity, spiritual dedication, and altruistic service.
Thank you for considering this request. I look forward to the potential inclusion of Swami Sivananda's profile on your esteemed platform, ensuring his extraordinary legacy is acknowledged and shared with a global audience.
Yours sincerely,

There is a new oldest living person in the world. Their name is ”Deolira Glicéria Pedro da Silva”, a brazilian centenarian who is 119 years old. She is a resident of the city of Itaperuna, State of Rio de Janeiro. My suggestion is for you to add them to the list, state them as living, as a 119 year old. I hope i helped.

Not done: please provide reliable sources that support the change you want to be made. Greekcitytimes has been discussed before and is agreed to be unreliable. Jamedeus (talk) 17:32, 15 March 2024 (UTC)- Regardless of source, does not meet the criteria for inclusion as she is older than the oldest verified person.
