Jim Cullivan[edit]

Hi guys,

Can we please add Jim Cullivan, an American football coach. He is a centenarian who is still alive and will be 101 on 10 June. This would be very appreciated. Thanks. User:Jack M E 01 (talk) 21:20, 25 May 2022 (GMT)

Shi Ping[edit]

He is not validated by the GRG/other longevity entities (as he should be in the top 10 oldest man in the world if validated). Just a random Wikipedian^(talk) 02:46, 13 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Bert Corona[edit]

Please add Bert Corona to the centenarian list… he is currently 102 and will be 103 June 1st. Bert resides in the US and was a World War 2 veteran. His birthday is June 1 1921 Corusso (talk) 01:42, 9 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry, this list is restricted to notable people, basically people who are the subject of Wikipedia articles. There is a Bert Corona article but it isn't the same person. Largoplazo (talk) 11:26, 9 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Add Zoya Boguslav Russian poetess 16.04.1924[edit]

Add Zoya Boguslav Russian poetess 16.04.1924 Andrewmoi1 (talk) 09:08, 17 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Do you mean Zoya Boguslavskaya? We'd need a reliable source indicating that she's still alive as of her hundredth birthday. Can you provide one? Largoplazo (talk) 11:02, 17 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Done. Largoplazo (talk) 10:01, 18 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

What is the purpose of this page if it does not list all living centenarians?[edit]

? LatviaRich (talk) 13:09, 23 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

See WP:LISTCRITERIA. This list conventionally includes only people who are the subject of articles. Similarly, List of clarinetists isn't a directory of all the millions of people in the world who play the clarinet. Also, see the note on the list itself that there's a separate list for those who are noted only because of their great age. Largoplazo (talk) 15:53, 23 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Manos Zacharias[edit]

Add Manos Zacharias. He is an award-winning Greek director, born on July 9, 1922.

Norman Spencer[edit]

Producer Norman Spencer who worked with David Lean is 109 years old. He is the oldest man in London. I think he should be on the list. Norman Spencer (producer) AJVK (talk) 16:20, 5 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Spencer is already listed at List of centenarians (actors, filmmakers and entertainers). We do not list the oldest people by city, only by country. As of 5 June 2024 on the Oldest living by country list, the oldest living man in the UK is John Tinniswood, who is 111 years, 284 days (using {{ayd}} for most current age). Peaceray (talk) 17:04, 5 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Also, the List of British supercentenarians only lists the top 100 British supercentenarians. It appears that Spencer will not be able to be listed on that list until he is over 111½ years old. Peaceray (talk) 17:27, 5 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
