Are the Oldest-Old or Final Few notable?
Greetings, User Brown-Haired Girl has waged a campaign to wipe out the entire 'supercentenarians' field on Misplaced Pages. This has included:
http://en.wikipedia.org/Louis_Epstein_%28supercentenarian_tracker%29
And, even, a man dead over 100 years:
http://en.wikipedia.org/William_Thoms
I find it incredulous that one would attack even the man who invented the term 'folklore' and started the field of 'supercentenarian tracking.'
Such mass hysteria seems to be working. User BHG is one of the top-10 editors by edit count on Misplaced Pages and has lots of friends. I can't imagine most WWI veteran articles surviving if this trend continues. I do urge everyone who considers tracking the oldest-old, whether WWI vets or no, to chime in on these debates.
