Lately it has been common for a GRG-validated person to die and for GRG's list to have them on their list for a few days after their death. For this reason, I want to know if anyone can add the following information to the HTML comment:

Having a reliable source revealing the person died is sufficient for a person to be removed from the list; there is NO requirement that the person has been removed from GRG's list.

Correct. If someone on the list has been reported to have died by a reliable source then they should be removed. Whether or not they have been reported by the GRG as deceased is irrelevant. DerbyCountyinNZ ^{(Talk Contribs)} 07:12, 9 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

It seems that Gustav Gerneth passed away: https://www.volksstimme.de/sachsen-anhalt/todesfall-114-jaehriger-aus-havelberg-gestorben Xakepxakep (talk) 19:24, 22 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I have just removed seven individuals for various sourcing issues (sources are fan websites, no date of birth, not about them, etc.) Many of these individuals have been added by @TFBCT1. TFBCT1, do not add individuals who do not have actual reliable sources that are dated within one year and have a reliably sourced date of birth. Also, when adding an individual, you must fill out the whole citation, never just slap in a url and call it a day. All such contributions do more harm then good and need to stop. If such conduct continues, any editor may be taken to ANI. Newshunter12 (talk) 13:58, 3 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

The HTML comment at the top of the list already says that the Gerontology Wiki at Wikia and the 110 Club are not reliable sources. Any other un-reliable sources that it's important for the HTML comment to emphasize?? Georgia guy (talk) 14:39, 3 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Georgia guy Thank you for the support. Not sure if it will do any good to add them, but the additional fan websites used here were: supercentenariditalia.it and najstarsipolacy.pl The more fundamental problem, unfortunately, is TFBCT1's longstanding refusal to follow the policies of this and other related pages and just adding people based on what Gerontology Wiki says about them.

This website as well ( http://centenaires-francais.forumactif.org/ ) which was used as recently as October 15 to declare someone deceased. The above two are similar to the oldestinBritain website as they're clearly self published. And my one is a forum which is not even close to a reliable source.

One thing to know is that unlike most Wikia wikis it stayed at Wikia rather than going to Fandom. If I were to guess a reason, I would guess it's because it's about a formal subject. Georgia guy (talk) 15:09, 3 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you all for your support and appreciation for the time and effort I put into trying to keep pages updated and current when other editors go on sabbatical for weeks and contribute nothing. Also, thank you to Newshunter12 for his keen eye, if only he could contribute more consistently instead of popping up every once in awhile to push his agenda. For the record, I have never used Gerentology Wiki as a source, and nowhere does it state that using a sole url is inadequate. Newshunter12 has a habit of making up his own rules as part of his OCD nature,TFBCT1 (talk) 15:58, 3 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I just reviewed the individuals removed by Newshunter12. Four of the seven were added by me of the recent near 25 I have added to this list to keep it updated. I am in disagreement with two that were removed, but will not contest do to the editor’s uncompromising nature. I will here admonish Newshunter12 not to threaten me on public talk pages for “good faith” errors or I will be forced to take action against him. It appears by the page history that your edits have not been well accepted by all.TFBCT1 (talk) 16:19, 3 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

why 100 oldest living people? why not limit on 110 year?--83.242.224.234 (talk) 09:54, 4 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

The GRG estimates there's between 150 and 600 living 110+ year olds. Do we really need a list of roughly 600 people on it? That'd be a maintenance hassle. CommanderLinx (talk) 23:50, 5 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
