Talk:List of oldest living men in the United States/@comment-44851562-20200112234812/@comment-44851562-20200114135833

Hi,

If the argument is that I must prove he's still alive, then that would be particularly difficult considering I live in the UK. However as mentioned by Gambler2000, he was noted as living in 2017 at age 104 and there has obviously been no report of his death. In that case I'd throw the opposing question back at you... Is it known for sure that Carl J. Shapiro is deceased? If not how can you justify his absence from this list. Carl J. Shapiro is a person of note, famous for being an entrepreneur and philanthropist. Therefore I assume his existence and birthdate are more easily verifiable than the majority of individuals on this list. At the very least this should warrant an investigation into whether or not Carl J. Shapiro is still alive as he would be a clear entrant for the list of oldest living men in US. Not least to say he would be due to enter the list of oldest living men in the world as of February upon his 107th birthday. Considering he was still alive at 104 someone ought to know something about this. Particularly if there was no report of death. Being a person of note, it would also be more likely that his death would be reported with more significance than the majority of entrants also. I shouldn't be proving he's still alive, someone should be able to prove he isn't, otherwise he belongs on this list until known otherwise.

Thanks
