The days are wrong for the oldest American Woman Alive. She is 116 and 63 days not 61. Please correct so it doesn’t calculate the new upcoming top 100 incorrectly one is coming up in a few days. Thank you 47.148.159.57 (talk) 15:44, 29 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Not done for now: please specify which person this is referring to, by name. Nobody in the list seems to be 116+61 nor 116+63. LizardJr8 (talk) 23:50, 29 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I hope this page stays

I've seen other list pages being deleted, I'm hoping this will not end up being another one. Bbonds775 (talk) 17:10, 17 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
