Rewshe Qasim

Rewshe Qasim, 137, was born in 1887 in the Kurdistan Region of Iraq. She is considered the oldest person in the world and Iraq.I want it listed in that article. Ari Qasm (talk) 15:05, 22 November 2024 (UTC)

Does not qualify for inclusion. Appropriate article is Longevity myths. DerbyCountyinNZ 18:41, 22 November 2024 (UTC)

The oldest living man in the world is only 112 years and 83 days?

So João Marinho Neto born on 05 October 1912 is the oldest living man on Earth? That can't be right. In a remote village on the mountains of Yunnan, China, every family has at least one man older than 110. 112 years old is not that impressive really, I have a friend whose great-grandma is already 106 years old and she is still going strong. 120.16.36.85 (talk) 08:06, 27 December 2024 (UTC)

Longevity claims and Longevity myths are full of similar unverified claims. DerbyCountyinNZ 10:13, 27 December 2024 (UTC)

Lin Shemu

Chinese media reports that a very old lady named Lin Shemu (Chinese: 林蛇母, born on 18 June 1902 in Longhai District, Fujian) has died on Wednesday (New Year's Day) at the age of 122 years and 197 days (123 years according to East Asian age reckoning), 33 days more than Jeanne Calment. They have shown a copy of her National ID Card as her proof of age. Should we list her as the oldest person ever lived?

No. She can be listed in Longevity claims with the other unverified cases. DerbyCountyinNZ 08:17, 3 January 2025 (UTC)
Why is she considered "unverified"? She has a National ID Card, that means her age has been verified by the Chinese government. 1.159.150.219 (talk) 10:05, 3 January 2025 (UTC)
