Greetings,


Izabel Rosa Pereira is the only person in the list not being veryfied by Gerontology Research Group. Checking "LongeviQuest", I could not even find an article in Misplaced Pages about this group. How reliable is it? Is Mrs Pereira's age verified by other groups or at least accepted for approval by Gerontology Research Group? Does it make sense to keep her listed in top ten without further evidence?
I've reverted back to a version that is associated with the GRG. It is considered the authority and is the source Guinness uses. Please refrain from attempting to use newspaper articles as proof of age. They rely on the claimant. As seen with ], ], ], ], Pierre Joubert, Damiana Sette, ], and several other cases, age validation is needed - we can't just take the claimant at their word. --] (]) 21:57, 12 April 2016 (UTC)
Kind regards
Michael ] (]) 21:28, 6 January 2025 (UTC)

:And I reverted you. Misplaced Pages goes off reliable sources, not just GRG only. In case you didn't notice, this is Misplaced Pages not the GRG so other sources can be included. Consensus is also to include sources outside the GRG. It's not a good idea to revert against consensus on a topic area where discretionary sanctions are in place. ] (]) 00:14, 13 April 2016 (UTC)
::No, consensus was to use GRG only. I have a proposal. Unverified cases can be left on the list, but rows with unverified cases must be color-coded red, and pending cases in blue. Verified cases don't need a color coding. This way, people can tell whether a case is verified or not, and unverified cases can be included. Everybody wins. Sound fair? --] (]) 23:34, 16 April 2016 (UTC)
:::Consensus is to use sources as well as GRG tables ( and ). This has been discussed and rejected several times. We are NOT going to use GRG only nor will there be separate tables.

::::The GRG is the internationally recognized authority on the subject. Age verification lets us weed out the frauds - otherwise, cases like Alberta Lyles - who is actually 106, NOT 111 - get traction and it's Carmelo Flores Laura all over again. Remember him? His family claimed he was 123, and news outlets carried the claim....but then researchers found his baptismal record which revealed he was born in 1906 and only 107. Remember Bernando LaPallo? He claimed 114, the documents said 108. There's a long list of cases featured in the media over the years that were not the ages claimed - Zaro Agha, Shigechiyo Izumi, Mitsu Fujisawa, Maria Diaz Cortes, etc. Cruz Hernandez claimed to be 128 when she died in 2007. But last year, researchers found her baptismal record, which proved she was born in 1893 and only 113 (almost 114) at her death. Age verification is needed to prevent fraudsters like Charlie Smith from getting attention for their deception. At the very least, distinguished between GRG-verified cases and cases with just a news report. The GRG is the source Guinness uses. --] (]) 00:38, 17 April 2016 (UTC)

:::::::So you admit you deliberately blocked users in an effort to silence those who disagree with you? I'm not proposing we have several tables, I'm proposing we color-code based on research status. Throughout history, many fraudulent longevity claims have come and gone, and it's better to have some way of distinguishing between cases we are completely certain are the ages claimed (Guinness has the documents) and Li Suqing of China who claims to be 117 and whose family has not submitted documentation.

:::::And? When such frauds are revealed, the articles can be updated to reflect that. It's not egg on Misplaced Pages's face to have reported what reliable sources said, even if those sources ended up being wrong.
