I'm fine with leaving Ji off. But please add the other three back. Here's an idea, make a thread on the Gerontology Wiki forum, and try to gain input from other contributors, that way the list is a reflection of the majority opinion, not the minority. Why?

As I've said before, Begay, Champion, and Rivera-Santella were once pending. If Vartan Anooshian is included (another old two-star case), then I see no reason not to include Begay, Champion, and Rivera-Santella. Otherwise, it becomes a list in which people pick and choose which unverified cases are included and which aren't. It's unlikely Zhou Youguang will ever be validated, yet he gets kept...but Zheng Ji doesn't. It seems very much like there's no logic to the list, in my opinion. I have made very few contributions to this list, so I didn't pick the cases that were included. However, those that did (CGT dk, Ozcaro, CoolMan2, Richard Monkey) are all experienced editors that know about how validation works. Since they didn't include these cases, perhaps they believed that the cases weren't reliable enough to include. Your best bet is to be patient, and wait until one of these editors is online, then you can discuss this with them.
