For reference, there is Wikipedia:WikiProject World's Oldest People/Oldest (known) living people per country but it is solely a project page for reference and subject to MFD. -- Ricky81682 ( talk) 05:58, 22 August 2015 (UTC)
With the death of Alexander Imich, it shows that Wash Wesley and Conrad Johnson are the oldest but on a different list, James Richardson beats them both by a few weeks. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 97.91.180.106 ( talk) 18:40, 10 June 2014 (UTC)
"Pending and unverified claims greater than the verified oldest are not included." CommanderLinx ( talk) 00:15, 4 July 2014 (UTC)
But the other two men listed Wash Wesely and Conrad Johnson are listed as "pending". 23:16, 28 October 2014 (UTC)~
That still doesn't explain not including James Richardson since he is included on a different Wiki list (the one pertaining to living super-centenarians in the US). If none of them are verified then it wouldn't hurt mentioning all 3 instead of just 2 out of three. 306:02, 29 October 2014 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 97.91.180.106 ( talk)
Especially if the one that is being omitted is listed as being the oldest of the 3.
As there is no verified male supercentenarian then only the oldest pending claim should be included, unless the oldest was born in another country in which case the oldest AND oldest native-born should be included. Therefore the list is currently correct. DerbyCountyinNZ ( Talk Contribs) 07:51, 29 October 2014 (UTC)
Why has Gulli Bergendahl been removed from the list? Did she pass away? Citation not good enough? What happened? Deaths in 2013 ( talk) 05:25, 11 December 2014 (UTC)
Gulli Bergendahl are 'just' "one of Swedens oldest women" because of the 3 disputable older cases:
And the same goes for Albert Andersson with 3 disputable older men:

Bullshit. This is just retaliation for Robert Young choosing nation's over countries. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 166.171.120.167 ( talk) 18:24, 14 August 2015 (UTC)
The heading "Reported age as of 22 August 2015" should be changed. It implied that this is their age today from those sources. The sources only confirm their birth date, not their current age. "Reported age" should be sufficient in my mind. -- Ricky81682 ( talk) 06:08, 22 August 2015 (UTC)
Information of my friend from Statistik Austria. I asked him, if he can name me the birth months of the women who were born in 1906. The whole date is not possible!
1) Oldest Austrian person (female) Born in March 1906
2) Second oldest person (female) Born in May 1906
He gave me of course no names, but it should be Frau Anna Hämmerle, born May 29 1906.
3) The oldest Austrian man was born in August 1908. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 178.115.129.206 ( talk) 10:39, 24 November 2015 (UTC)
