The Gerontology Wiki is about "facts", not mythology. You can believe what you want, but consider this: 1. The man's own ID said 1910. 2. There's no documentation for 1901. 3. Census matches suggest 1907/1908 4. USPRI supports 1910 5. This man was involves in a for-profit entity with an incentive that, if he were older, his claims would appear more amazing.

Over 100 billion people have lived in history...over 50 billion have been male. This man is claiming to be one of less than 10 out of 50+ billion to have reached age 114...facing such extraordinary odds, and with evidence pointing in another direction, there's no logical reason to believe this claim. There are emotional reasons that one might wish this claim were true, but that's not the direction the facts lead us in. As for your behavior, you can believe what you want, but please follow the rules...don't category false/debunked cases as "supercentenarians".Ryoung122 (talk) 15:20, June 30, 2016 (UTC)
