Why is there no way to delete specious/questionable inclusions in this "category?" Without a way to reverse damage, this page will only become more corrupted and eventually useles...172.136.190.131 01:32, 6 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Gender

On average, women live for about four years longer than men do. Hence the vast majority of supercentenarians are women. Jim Michael (talk) 10:37, 10 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Nationality

No need for divisive 'subcategories.' Some people lived in two or three countries. → R Young {^yakł_talk} 01:11, 30 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Actually, it makes it easier to browse Category:Supercentenarians if it is divided into categories by nationality. Ryūlóng 02:30, 31 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

No, it makes it much more difficult to find anyone. Gene Nygaard 08:06, 12 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Mythological and legendary figures included?

I don't believe this category (and all sub-categories) should include fictional, mythological or legendary characters, actual historical persons only. Editor2020, Talk 00:26, 21 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
