Gender[edit]

Why is that most of the oldest people at least that I have seen have been females? Are the Y chromosome deadly keeping us from being that old? J. C.

On average, women live for about four years longer than men do. Hence the vast majority of supercentenarians are women. Jim Michael (talk) 10:37, 10 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Nationality[edit]

No need for divisive 'subcategories.' Some people lived in two or three countries. → R Young {yakłtalk} 01:11, 30 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

No, it makes it much more difficult to find anyone. Gene Nygaard 08:06, 12 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Mythological and legendary figures included?[edit]

I don't believe this category (and all sub-categories) should include fictional, mythological or legendary characters, actual historical persons only. Editor2020, Talk 00:26, 21 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
