- Yes, I saw that report too - but you needed to include it in your edit. I have now done so.--Pawnkingthree (talk) 17:07, 6 November 2017 (UTC)

Maps Talk:Longevity claims
Oldest living person
The article says that Nabi Tajima is the oldest living person. She has recently died so this needs to be updated. I didn't want to update it because I don't know whose age is verified and whose is not, but List of oldest living people lists Chiyo Miyako at the top.

Koko Istambulova
Just ran across an article published by the Daily Mail claiming a Russian woman, Koku Istambulova was born 1 June 1889, making her nearly 129 years old. Despite the probable legitimacy of the news source, the claim seems highly dubious. Besides the advanced age, the claim that she is a miserable woman who "has not had a single happy day in her entire life" seems rare in claims of extreme age, and, in my opinion, the accompanying pictures appear to show a woman between about 85-90, not nearly the claimed 129. So rather than adding it directly to the top of the list, I'll post it on the talk page and let someone else decide if they think she ought to be included just because the claim was made in a more-or-less respectable news source. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-5735065/Worlds-oldest-woman-aged-129-says-shes-miserable-day-life.html?ito=social-twitter_mailonline Ryan Reeder (talk) 22:23, 16 May 2018 (UTC)
- The Daily Mail is not "more or less respectable" as a source and should not be used. See WP:DAILYMAIL.--Pawnkingthree (talk) 22:51, 16 May 2018 (UTC)
