I know that Wikipedia does not allow original research, but here are some new cases and potential new candidates of oldest known people by country that are not on the list yet: Salomon Biokou, Benin (7 February 1902 - 2 October 2008, aged 106 years, 235 days) https://illassa-benoit.over-blog.com/article-23375045.html Rugwe, Burundi (was mentioned to be 107 years old in 19 April 2016) https://web.archive.org/web/20231001054351/https://www.jimberemag.org/rugwe-107-ans-une-memoire-du-burundi/ Lucie Tincres (woman from Madagascar who died in Reunion on 13 December 2024 at the age of 104 years and 15 days) https://www.facebook.com/LePortiledelaReunion/posts/d%C3%A9c%C3%A8s-de-la-doyenne-de-la-ville-du-port-lucie-tincres-n%C3%A9e-dangol-avait-f%C3%AAt%C3%A9-ses-/1010004101171641/ Vaisamoa Namoa (woman from Tuvalu who died in New Zealand on 15 July 2024 at the age of 95 years and 361 days) https://www.facebook.com/haven.falls/posts/he-panui-t%C4%93nei-mai-i-a-haven-falls-ki-aucklande-ng%C4%81-mana-e-ng%C4%81-reo-o-t%C4%93n%C4%81-hap%C5%AB-o/1272114380506016/

Could any of these cases be reliable candidate of oldest known (and documented) person by country that can be added to the list in the future? Kruununoksa (talk) 14:48, 17 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]

By chance, should they be added as the longest lived Yemeni and Afghan people?

Abdul Salam Sabrah (1912-2012): 100 years, 32 days

Mohammed Hasan Sharq (1925-present): 100 years, 193 days+ Pe Class Heroes010210 (talk) 21:50, 26 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Added the Yemeni but apparently Abdul Majid Zabuli, Afghanistan was (currently) older hence why he is going to be added tomorrow though. Pe Class Heroes010210 (talk) 22:06, 26 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]
