Why is she not on the list? Daka (talk) 22:34, 7 December 2019 (UTC)
- Is there a reliable source which says she was alive on her 100th birthday? DerbyCountyinNZ (Talk Contribs) 22:53, 7 December 2019 (UTC)
- The article speaks of a source from a year ago. (This one.) Daka (talk) 13:47, 8 December 2019 (UTC)
- Does not look sufficiently reliable to me. DerbyCountyinNZ (Talk Contribs) 16:49, 8 December 2019 (UTC)
- There is a reliable source of her being alive in January 2009 (age 100). There are other sources that confirm that she is most likely still alive at the moment. However, they are not reliable as per Wikipedia's established guidelines, so something else will be needed in order to include her here. OscarL 23:42, 14 December 2019 (UTC)
- Did she appear in America's Intercultural Magazine after her 110th birthday? She is named as the founder of that magazine.2001:1AE9:24B:4600:897B:9400:BB72:EE1D (talk) 16:11, 13 January 2020 (UTC)

Hilda Clulow deceased December 24, 2019 age 111 yrs 284 days
I am not sure what a "reliable" source is but according to Oldest People In Britain (oldestinbritain.nfshost.com) Hilda Clulow died on December 24, 2019. The site is now listing Joan Hocquard and Bob Weighton as the joint-oldest people in the United Kingdom. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Bromleychuck (talk • contribs) 18:10, 8 January 2020 (UTC)
- OldestinBritain is not considered a reliable source. DerbyCountyinNZ (Talk Contribs) 18:22, 8 January 2020 (UTC)
Several websites report her death - all quoting the same date. Wikipedia is far more likely to look unreliable by continuing to keep her listed as the age attained increases once there is any published report of death ie reliability is important where exaggerated claims may be made. An exaggerated 'claim of death' is so improbable as to warrant prima facie acceptance of such notifications.165.225.80.65 (talk) 17:19, 17 January 2020 (UTC)
Ok, I deleted her name.-Phil of Bristol 15:45, 27 January 2020 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Phil of Bristol (talk • contribs)
- The criteria for removal from this article are that the person does not have a report from within the last year that they are alive or there is a reliable source reporting that they have died. Reliable sources do NOT include OldestinBritan, Gerontology Wikia or the 110 Club. For the benefit of other users the link should be posted either in the edit summary or on this talk page. So far none of the criteria have been met. DerbyCountyinNZ (Talk Contribs) 16:50, 27 January 2020 (UTC)
The link were already mentionned but here are just 2 sources: - https://the110club.com/hilda-clulow-1908-2019-t22619.html and gerontology.wikia.org/wiki/Hilda_Clulow.--Phil of Bristol 17:10, 27 January 2020 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Phil of Bristol (talk • contribs)
- Neither of which is considered reliable. DerbyCountyinNZ (Talk Contribs) 17:49, 27 January 2020 (UTC)
- The criteria for removal have been clearly spelled out above and have still not been met. I am adding Hilda Clulow back to the list until proper criteria for removal have been met. The question here is if the oldest person in the United Kingdom died 5 weeks ago, why are no reliable sources available?TFBCT1 (talk) 20:50, 27 January 2020 (UTC)
HTML comment
The HTML comment above the list says:
Also, when removing someone from the list please move the HTML comment below the bottom (which has up to 5 people proposed to be added) below so that there are exactly 100 people on this list.
It appears that many editors of this list aren't following this direction. Anything we can do to make this HTML comment (the one at the top of this list, NOT the one at the bottom that the above is referencing) more visible when it comes to this part of it?? (User:TFBCT1 appears to be the one everyone wants to leave it up to because TFBCT1 always pays attention to the table and moves the HTML comment as this direction says. Why won't other Wikipedians do this themselves?? The HTML comment says to do so, doesn't it?? Georgia guy (talk) 15:24, 12 January 2020 (UTC)
Semi-protected edit request on 14 January 2020
Dumitru Comănescu, born 8 November 1908, seems to be the oldest living man in Romania: https://www.digi24.ro/stiri/actualitate/social/cine-este-dumitru-comanescu-cel-mai-varstnic-cetatean-al-bucurestiului-1150042 Please add him to the list of the oldest living people if this is sufficient.2001:1AE9:24B:4600:3895:ED87:61C1:FC29 (talk) 15:37, 14 January 2020 (UTC)
Not done. The page isn't protected, so you should be able to make the change yourself. –Deacon Vorbis (carbon • videos) 16:41, 14 January 2020 (UTC)
- I have added him but I will probably need some help with links and the HTML comment below the bottom of the list.2001:1AE9:24B:4600:910D:ED82:D39F:A2B7 (talk) 15:08, 27 January 2020 (UTC)
- Done. I hope I have done it right.2001:1AE9:24B:4600:910D:ED82:D39F:A2B7 (talk) 15:24, 27 January 2020 (UTC)
Why not limit this list to over 111?
This is a question I've wanted to ask long ago. It has been discussed several times - why limit this list to 100? -why not all supercentenarians? etc Monitoring this list since long ago, I have noticed that over time, it keeps 80+% of people aged 111 or more. So I wondered if taking this age 111 as a limit for inclusion to the list would not be a good idea. It would maybe make the list easier to maintain.Bvatant (talk) 18:04, 17 January 2020 (UTC)
Maria Kononovich
There is an edit war between at least one user who believes that Maria Kononovich belongs to Longevity claims and users who believe that she should be included in this article. Should she be kept here or removed? 2001:1AE9:24B:4600:8499:38D2:94E7:95E (talk) 21:17, 24 January 2020 (UTC)
- She meets the current criteria for inclusion in this article. DerbyCountyinNZ (Talk Contribs) 21:28, 24 January 2020 (UTC)
- If she outlives Kane Tanaka and doesn't get validated by GRG, then she may be moved to the Longevity claims article. Georgia guy (talk) 21:32, 24 January 2020 (UTC)
- I just would like to be clear that my revert was based on the statement that the birthdate had to be fixed around the Julian / Gregorian date issue before Kononovich could be included on this list. That seem to me to be an invalid reason for removing her altogether when the problem could be noted & discussed.
- As to whether Kononovich should be included or not, I am not weighing in on that as others are far more familiar with the inclusion/exclusion criteria. Just because I am growing older does not make me an expert on gerontology.
