Not done There is no inclusion without verification from reliable sources. What constitutes a reliable source on longevity? Please see Wikipedia:WikiProject Longevity#Sourcing. Peaceray (talk) 05:29, 27 June 2024 (UTC)
- @Peaceray, she does seem to be a real person.

- WP:WikiProject Longevity#Sourcing applies. Like WP:Identifying reliable sources (medicine), the governing WikiProject for this list is WP:WikiProject Longevity. See WP:Reliable sources#Reliability in specific contexts.
- As WP:WikiProject Longevity#Database states, the
Guinness World Records is a reliable source for ages, for dates of birth and death, and for whether an individual holds or held a record for human longevity.
&Gerontology Research Group's (GRG) Table E (verified supercentenarians)
has been found to be a reliable sourcebecause all entries in these tables are fact-checked according to the process outlined here.
- WP:WikiProject Longevity#Obituaries and newspaper articles states that
Newspaper-written articles and obituaries may or may not be reliable sources. When in doubt, ask editors at
the Reliable Sources Noticeboard (RSN)whether a particular newspaper article is a reliable source for birth and/or death dates and age in a particular article.
Thus, a single newspaper article may not be considered a reliable source for age. - Since the GRG seems to be the ultimate test of supercentenarians claims, I would suggest contacting them with the newspaper article.
- I think that I have explained the process as best as I can. @DerbyCountyinNZ and Softmist:, you are two are among the most frequent editors who have recently edited this list. Do you have anything to add? @Georgia guy, TFBCT, and Newshunter12: You were once active pretty active here. Do you have anything to add? Peaceray (talk) 16:26, 23 July 2024 (UTC)
- We can put her in the Longevity claims article. Georgia guy (talk) 16:32, 23 July 2024 (UTC)
Resolved Thanks! I have added Ayşe Bayri to Longevity claims#Recent. Peaceray (talk) 18:02, 23 July 2024 (UTC)
- We can put her in the Longevity claims article. Georgia guy (talk) 16:32, 23 July 2024 (UTC)

missing in the list, add to list:
Hendrikje Schipper; 29 June 1890 – 30 August 2005) was a Dutch supercentenarian who lived to the age of 115 years, 62 days.

- Hi, this is the List of oldest living people. Hendrikje van Andel-Schipper died on August 30, 2005. She is no longer qualified to be on a list of the living. Peaceray (talk) 17:34, 29 July 2024 (UTC)

Number(s) 34
editI see listed, two ladies sharing the rank #34. Are they related, or is this just a massive coincidence that they share the same birthdate? 100.38.133.168 (talk) 15:26, 20 August 2024 (UTC)
- They simply share the same birthdate. If one of them dies, we can change it to only one 34. Georgia guy (talk) 15:28, 20 August 2024 (UTC)
