Talk:List of living centenarians

Jim Cullivan
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
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)

Bert Corona
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)


 * 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)

 * 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)

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

 * 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)

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

Norman Spencer
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)


 * Spencer is already listed at List of centenarians (actors, filmmakers and entertainers). We do not list the oldest people by city, only by country. on the Oldest living by country list, the oldest living man in the UK is John Tinniswood, who is  (using ayd for most current age).

 * 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)
 * I know this list is the oldest people by country, not by city. I just mentioned him being the oldest man in London, as a fact. What I'm saying is that he should be one of the oldest people in the world known for reasons other than just their longevity, like it says on the main page. At 109 years old, he should almost top the list.
 * I'm aware that he is on actor/filmmaker/entertainer list, but for instance, James C. Floyd is on this list of living centenarians and he is also on the List of centenarians (engineers, mathematicians and scientists). Or is there a reason the same person shouldn't be on two lists? He should certainly qualify as being known for reasons other than just his longevity. AJVK (talk) 22:36, 5 June 2024 (UTC)

Norman Spencer
Why isn't Norman Spencer on this list? Why do you delete him every time I add him? He is a notable person and he is still alive: https://oldestinbritain.nfshost.com/living.php. In August he will celebrate his 110th birthday, come on... NSD30511 (talk) 17:58, 20 July 2024 (UTC)
