Arthur, while I appreciate the effort you put in to creating new articles, maybe you might consider making more articles on supercentenarians than centenarians who are notable for being the oldest person in a nation.

Okay, so if a 107 year-old is the oldest person in Estonia then they are more noteworthy than a 107 year-old in say, the USA, but their age is still the same - so from a longevity point of view, their achievement is the same.

The primary focus of the Gerontology Wiki should be longevity, rather than the place a person comes from. We don't want the Wiki to start being crammed up with people only in their 100s or even younger.

Think about it: if the oldest person in the remote Pitcairn Islands is only 85, should they have an article? No. We're interested in a person's age, first and foremost. Where they come from is secondary.
