Talk:List of oldest living men in the United States/@comment-26890527-20190123180952

I’ve been thinking about this article recently. Quite a few men without 107th birthday confirmations that we knew about before (e.g. Irving Hyman) are being reported deceased recently. I was thinking about lowering the age requirement to a 106th birthday confirmation, as many men aren’t reported for 2+ years (Francis Smith etc.) but are alive nonetheless.

I think it would provide better coverage overall of America’s oldest men, as many are confirmed alive at 106, but not at 107 or even 108, even though they’re still alive.

I wanted to get more opinions on the matter before I changed anything, just in case it’s not a good idea that these changes be implemented.
