Greetings,

This Wikia won't be as strict as Wikipedia when it comes to "notability" guidelines. Indeed, one of the purposes of Wikia is to allow users to focus on topics of personalized interest.

That said, our goal here is to be an encylopedia, not a fan club.

Thus, we will be implementing standard minimum requirements for article creation.

I am proposing the following age minimums:

-Notable due to age: this minimum must be specific to the time period the case came from. Age 100 and verified may be notable in 1795; it's not in 2015.

Thus, I'm proposing, for starters:

A. Validated cases:

108+ since 1970

105+ 1900-1970

100+ 1800-1899

95+ 1500-1799

90+ before 1500

B. Longevity claims:

110+

If anyone disagrees and has an alternative proposal, please post here.

Sincerely,

Robert Young
