Talk:List of supercentenarians from the United Kingdom/@comment-26890527-20160116165340/@comment-26904760-20160116194339

I agree that unverified British-born supercentenarians are very likely to be the age claimed. However this is not the case with some other countries.

As well as the space issue, there also the maintenance of these lists. So, for example, there are currently 11 unverified British supercentenarians, and including these cases in the overall list will lead to a great deal of maintenance in order to keep the list up to date. Even more so with the List of Japanese supercentenarians, where it is already time consuming to keep the list up to date, and that's just when including verified and pending cases!

If there is a concensus on this wiki to include unverified cases in an "overall supercentenarians" list for each country, then i'll gladly help to maintain these list. But for now, at least, I would advocate including unverified cases in the "Living supercentenarians" lists, but not in an overall list.
