Pluto2, the current GRG WOM titleholders list starts in 1973. So, whether Sylvester Melvin was a validated GRG case or not, his case predated the current official list. The reason the list starts in 1973 is that, before that year, there's not enough data and the list should be considered "under construction". In the future, as more research is done, the WOM list may retroactively be extended further back.

However, I feel that, for many "fans", they don't seem to "get" that the lists as they are already have enough caveats as it is, and we should be working on improving the current material, rather than trying to extend the material further back into the past. I note that several WOP titleholders still don't have articles yet on the Gerontology Wiki.Ryoung122 (talk) 20:11, March 18, 2016 (UTC)
