Additional early WOLM titleholders
[edit]Here are some additional early WOLM ("world's oldest living man" titleholders):
https://gerontology.fandom.com/wiki/World%27s_Oldest_Man_titleholders
You can check which ones of them were validated by professional gerontology/longevity organizations, though I think that at least Benjamin Garner has recently been validated by the Gerontology Research Group. 172.59.128.60 (talk) 05:12, 11 August 2024 (UTC)
- Benjamin Garner is indeed validated by the GRG here: https://www.grg-supercentenarians.org/2024-validations/ His validation is a very recent one. 172.59.128.60 (talk) 22:33, 11 August 2024 (UTC)
Johnson Parks disputed
[edit]Johnson Parks has been disputed here:
https://osf.io/preprints/socarxiv/hk7fb
Basically, the argument here is that his verification was based on a mistaken identity switch with another African-American man named Johnson Parks who was born a decade earlier than he himself was born. 172.59.128.60 (talk) 05:14, 11 August 2024 (UTC)
- Maybe you could say that Zak and Gibbs are unreliable because they also previously disputed Calment. However, Calment's validation was subsequently re-confirmed by gerontology researchers, whereas I don't see anyone to my knowledge willing to defend the Parks validation right now. 172.59.128.60 (talk) 05:16, 11 August 2024 (UTC)
