Since there are close to or over 1 000 pending or unverified supercentenarians from many different countries they make up a significant proportion of the dataset. These "superfluous categories" do not contain single individuals, check for the USA, there are dozens of individuals categorizable into these categories. If you have an individual categorized as "American supercentenarians" and "Unverified supercentenarians", those cover the aspects of "nationality" and "case status". I see no reason for "Unverified American supercentenarians." As for finding the case, if you know the person's name, you can use a "search box."

There is also an issue, unclear, of sub-categorization. If we are going to have something such as "Unverified American supercentenarians", it should be a sub-category, not its own category.
