Nasser bin Radan Al Rashid Al Wadaei
editNasser bin Radan Al Rashid Al Wadaei who recently passed away at the claimed age of 142, should be included in the list. 1000mm (talk) 01:00, 13 January 2026 (UTC)
Cleanup needed
editObviously these claims are disputed and obviously notable instances with their own stable articles should continue to be included in some form, despite (e.g. the Old Countess) modern scholars now offering more reasonable ages. On the other hand, some of the guys currently listed are well under 130 even by the most generous legends and belong in the religious list or the separate longevity claims article. — LlywelynII 06:40, 22 March 2026 (UTC)
