Editors have continued removing Emilia Maria Quesada from Cuba off this list. I would like to remind everyone that Maria Emilia Quesada has been sourced by reliable sources falling within the criteria of the consensus as outlined by DerbyCountyInNZ and others. Continuing to remove Emilia from this list without discussion on the talk page is disruptive in nature. Please respond on the talk page, even to the RFC for content dispute, if you have issues with Emilia being on this page. As far as I am aware there is no valid reason for her removal. Thank you.

Excuse me, Could you please add who you said to the other pages about oldest people? Please? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2602:304:5D47:EC19:CD01:65E9:2155:1186 (talk) 01:51, 8 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

It's not appropriate to put Maria Emilia Quesada onto the other Oldest People pages because while she is reliably sourced (the requirements for this page), she is not verified by the GRG. The other oldest people pages require individuals be verified by the GRG. JasonPhelps (talk) 06:25, 8 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I'm neutral on whether non-GRG sources should be allowed, but it seems kind of odd to me that different pages would have different evidentiary standards. 96.59.35.98 (talk) 20:13, 8 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I think the difference is whether or not there is the word "Verified" in the title of the page. When it's just oldest living people, they don't have to be "Verified" or "Validated" by the GRG. Validated might be the more correct term to use. JasonPhelps (talk) 20:55, 8 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I have not removed anyone, but having someone on the list that in all likelihood does not belong here, makes Wikipedia look bad. I would be very surprised if she ever gets verified. Lowenan (talk) 22:05, 8 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Please see my comments / notes under Archive 16#The GRG only POV. Peaceray (talk) 23:44, 8 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

In the past about ten days since March 5th, Maria Emilia Quesada has been removed at least 6 times. There is no valid reason for her removal as this is not a "Verified" or "Validated" page, meaning it's not required she be validated by the GRG. There are reliable sources backing up Maria Emilia Quesada. DerbyCountyInNZ stated that it's not appropriate to use only GRG for sourcing on this page. So, the continued removal of Maria Emilia Quesada from this page is disruptive. I'm not super familiar with all the measures that can be used to protect against such disruptive editing--I haven't used Wikipedia enough to know the ins and outs. However, I suspect that some people have been using multiple accounts to remove Maria (since some of the IP Addresses are at least somewhat similar to each other), but I don't really have a way of proving that for certain. If people continue to remove Maria over and over again when it has already been clarified that she meets the criteria for this page, is there anything else that can be done beyond to protect against that? Maybe it could be required that people have a verified Wikipedia account in order to make edits? It seems like a lot of the removals have been occurring from IP Addresses instead of verified wikipedia accounts. JasonPhelps (talk) 04:26, 16 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Firstly I doubt the IPs will read this, unless they're previously warned/blocked longevity-fans. Secondly, the protections for this page will get longer and longer until either Tajima or Quesada dies. Thirdly the protections will be applied more speedily each time the disruption occurs; for instance if I log on in about 24 hours and there have been 2 more removals of Quesada I will be immediately requesting a 2 week semi-protection. DerbyCountyinNZ ^{(Talk Contribs)} 04:52, 16 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Okay that makes sense. I guess that's probably true that the IPs won't see this, unless they're previous warned/blocked longevity-fans using different IP addresses. Thanks. JasonPhelps (talk) 05:01, 16 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

One issue to point out is that whilst Quesada is one this list, she is not on the 'Oldest People' list. Surely for consistency, she should be on both, or none. Mike Hocks Hucker (talk) 13:53, 21 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Agreed. If she is on Oldest Living People, she should also be on the Oldest People list, as well as the List of the Oldest Verified People and the List of the Oldest Verified Women. If she doesn't qualify for some reason to be on those lists, she shouldn't be on the Oldest Living People list. She could be on Longevity Claims--although under current standards, she wouldn't qualify; the standard for inclusion there currently is people older than the oldest verified living person-130. I would support changing that to 117-130, though. Maybe 116-130 or 115-130.Ryan Reeder (talk) 14:38, 24 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Maybe if this is such an issue for people with the confusion why this page has it that the supercentenarians don't have to be validated by modern standards, it would be good to create an extra column on the righthand side of the table for this page that denotes whether each person is validated by GRG, pending with GRG, or not validated by GRG. Perhaps this would lessen some of the confusion, contention, and disagreements on this page about including people like Maria Emilia Quesada, and others not validated by GRG. If people were able to visually see that the person is able to be on this list due to the consensus for this page but at the same time that they're not validated by GRG, maybe that would lessen the confusion and disagreement. Just an idea. As for Oldest People List if you read the description in the first part, it is for people validated by GRG only, whereas this page is for anyone reliably sourced. JasonPhelps (talk) 04:21, 25 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

2 things: 1. Promoting the GRG on Wiki is viewed with considerable disfavor among many non-longevity Wiki editors. 2. Oldest people is NOT "for people validated by GRG only" it is for " people whose ages have been validated by an international body that specifically deals in longevity research". The fact that we are stuck with the GRG being the only such body which publishes this information is most unfortunate and we can only hope that a serious alternative eventuates. Again I would reiterate that continually pushing the GRG as the ONLY source of such information will only result in another backlash its use on Wikipedia. DerbyCountyinNZ ^{(Talk Contribs)} 06:28, 25 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Okay thank you for the clarification. I will try to be more careful how I word the usage of GRG on longevity pages/talk pages in the future. JasonPhelps (talk) 07:06, 25 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: As I've mentioned in another section, there is currently no consensus for the inclusion of Quesada in this list. Hopefully the RFC will resolve this. Chessrat ^{(talk, contributions)} 16:46, 28 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Pinging @DerbyCountyinNZ:. Do you know what's going on with that RFC: was it incorrectly formatted or something? It's been a few weeks since the RFC was started and we still have no consensus on the inclusion of Quesada. I'm very tempted to go and start a proposal to create a new policy regarding reliable sources for longevity-related articles, and will probably do that soon if there's no progress towards a consensus on this topic. So, any idea what's going on? Chessrat ^{(talk, contributions)} 21:58, 16 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Is the link for Reference #3 broken? If you click on the link for Reference #3 directly it gives a page saying you are not authorized to access this page.

Link still didn't work. I tried a couple things with changing it to subscription=yes and |subscription=yes, but neither of these made the link work either. Someone with more expertise will have to take a look at it. JasonPhelps (talk) 23:17, 19 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

My edit was not to make it work, it was to add some text to the reference thus "(Registration required (help))". This serves as a warning that the webpage might not be accessible unless you have registered with that website. --Redrose64 🌹 (talk) 08:58, 20 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Noticed that they are listed here but not on the verified oldest people of all time list. If she is not verified shouldn't she be listed in the claimed page? Not trying too cause a debate, jut looking for clarification.Bbonds775 (talk) 12:55, 20 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Nope, this is a list for adequately referenced oldest living people, not validated or verified oldest living people. So, this argument is the same for Magdalena Oliver Gabarro as it is for Quesada. Magdalena should remain on this page until she either dies or becomes older than the oldest verified person. JasonPhelps (talk) 16:11, 20 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

What's the difference? Georgia guy (talk) 17:19, 20 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I have faith that Gabarro one day will be proven to have actually been this age. But it's a shame that we have a Wikipedia article with clearly inaccurate information here regarding a couple of other less reliable cases. Lowenan (talk) 22:52, 20 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

This is not a verified page. If this were a verified page then it would make sense to only include cases verified/validated by modern means. However, the title of this page is "Oldest Living People" not "Oldest Verified Living People" JasonPhelps (talk) 04:59, 21 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Since she died "in the night of Friday going into Saturday" can we say that she died on her 113th birthday? Extremely sexy (talk) 14:37, 24 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Just as a point of interest, there is some precedence with this. The exact same thing occurred with Astrid Zachrison of Sweden. She was born 15 May 1895 and died between the night/morning of 14/15 May 2008. Initially she was listed aged 112 years, 365 days, with a death date of 14 May 2008, then changed to aged 113 years with a death date of 15 May 2008. I think partly this was because it was a leap year and 112 years, 365 days seemed strange.TFBCT1 (talk) 00:40, 26 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Our French "GRG" correspondents have meanwhile got her death certificate saying that she died at 3 AM, so she made it anyway: that's great news (although she was born at 11 AM apparently, but that doesn't count at all)! Extremely sexy (talk) 10:24, 4 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Should Maria Emilia Quesada be listed as the world's second oldest living person? NPalgan2 (talk) 03:31, 19 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

• No Quesada has not been vouched for by the Guiness Books of Records, the GRG, or any internationally respected news source. The fact that such a sensational claim - the second oldest person in the world has just been discovered! - has been totally ignored by the wider international press and only repeated by Granma and TeleSur (Cuban and Venezuelan propaganda outlets) and a dingy collection of obscure websites shows what this claim is worth. Sometimes the silence of RSs is just as meaningful as words. There's a ludicrous interpretation of WP:RS and WP:WEIGHT that reigns in this dank corner of wikipedia: if even one cheap tabloid no one's ever heard of, that has no reputation for factchecking, let alone gerontological verification, announces that someone has just celebrated their 114th birthday, then it's a reliable source that must be solemnly respected. It inevitably produces absurdities like this. NPalgan2 (talk) 08:10, 28 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
• No (Summoned by bot) Current sourcing, as footnoted in the article, is not adequate. Only multiple, high-quality secondary sources will suffice. Coretheapple (talk) 16:46, 28 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

• No (Summoned by bot) The sources are not adequate, and the likelyhood of this being a false claim is far higher than the opposite. This is proven by countless other such cases in the past.Lowenan (talk) 07:48, 30 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
• Yes. Multiple reliably sourced articles siting Maria Emilia Quesada. Wikipedia wants to stay away from GRG only, so good idea to use these different sources. One of the sources mentions that she has at least an Identity card verifying her birth, so this source that mentions her age of 117 seems at least pretty believable. Other people are also on this list with similar or lesser levels of validation, so you would need to consider removing other people from this list if you removed Maria Emilia Quesada. Also, why are we asking about listing Maria Emilia Quesada as second oldest living person when Ida Troupe is on the list as second oldest person and Maria Emilia Quesada as third oldest person? JasonPhelps (talk) 00:23, 31 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
• Yes. Please see my comments / notes under Archive 16#The GRG only POV. Despite the clamor to limit it to the GRG, WP:RS still applies. P.S. The Guiness Books of Records is based on the GRG, so bringing that up is meaningless. Peaceray (talk) 06:23, 31 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

• No Not until she is verified by a source that the community has agreed on to recognize. Ida Troupe and any others that do not meet this criteria should also be removed. I think the lower limit on the 'Longevity Claims' article can be decreased to say, 115 years old, and they can be put there. Having a lower limit based on the age of the current oldest person is arbitrary, and Nabi Tajima being the oldest person in nearly 20 years leaves out some candidates that would normally be included. A Wikipedia user should be able to go to different pages about similar subjects and not get conflicting information.Ryan Reeder (talk) 19:13, 3 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

This page and Longevity claims are currently synchronized in terms of criteria, there is no conflict. The reasons this article and the "verified" oldest people page differ have been detailed elsewhere (I don't have time to repeat them here, they are in the relevant talk page archives).

I am her grandson and my father (Her Son) is currently in the Netherlands looking after her! How much more do you need? What is the point of having this Wiki entry if you only accept people in the "limelight" - not all people of this age want the publicity? My grandmother went on holidays with family last birthday (111 years old) to escape the media... so elderly like this do not have many "internet public" records floating around.
