It should be noted that Arthur Custance was a religious creationist advocate for extreme age claims, as they 'supported' the Biblical claims. Thus, his 'endorsement' means nothing. Ryoung122 07:47, 12 September 2007 (UTC)
Even the referenced book site says the figures mentioned are to be taken with some skepticism and primarily based on memory reports. 98.223.49.54 ( talk) 16:18, 6 September 2008 (UTC)
While most people wouldn't give this case ANY credence, it does help to establish an historical pattern of age claims and points to the need for verification. If NO ONE exaggerated their age, there would be no need for age verification, would there? Therefore, even the false claims are important...
Further, someone may believe this case on the nonrational bases of religious, nationalistic, or perhaps quack affliations. Ryoung122 19:16, 6 September 2008 (UTC)

This is not original research. I don't believe his claim. But sources say same thing. Takabeg ( talk) 06:58, 28 June 2011 (UTC)
Isn't it better to call him Agha than Aga as written in the english text in the picture below Michelle's Cigrattte. Thanks Manaviko ( talk) 15:34, 8 November 2015 (UTC)
Walter Bowermann did NOT verify this claim. In fact, he debunked it - Agha was only 97 when he died. I'll have to find the citation. -- Sailor Haumea ( talk) 20:03, 19 April 2016 (UTC)
What is "highly looked upon" supposed to mean in reference to his wife? The obvious literal meaning is that "lots of people looked at her", which seems wholly unremarkable and certainly not worth mentioning in an article about a different person (her husband). Maybe the intent of the original has been lost in this translation, and a more idiomatic English phrase can be found, but even so, unless it speaks to Zaro Aga's motivations or actions, it's difficult to see how his wife's status is relevant. Please clarify the meaning and explain why it's relevant, or excise what amounts to irrelevant commentary about other people. 124.171.138.127 ( talk) 00:09, 11 August 2021 (UTC)
