Age could not wither his passion for the stage

I am using the cite which is above to replace Chemancheri Kunhiraman Nair's cite because the former cite states 105 instead of his age at death 104. He is even a dance performer. 24.45.6.110 (talk) 00:23, 25 June 2021 (UTC)

IP, it is ok to file many requests, each with one name, but don't repeat; it makes our lives easier. ◢  Ganbaruby!  (talk) 19:25, 6 July 2021 (UTC)

Also note that entries do not need to be updated with a new citation if a living person on the list dies There only needs to be an RS that shows that they definitely reached 100. DerbyCountyinNZ ^{(Talk Contribs)} 21:46, 6 July 2021 (UTC)

@DerbyCountyinNZ: Really? I think that if the table is going to list the birth and death years of that person, then the ref should also include those years. I don't think it's an unreasonable request to replace references without the death year. ◢  Ganbaruby!  (talk) 01:53, 7 July 2021 (UTC)

The reasons they are on the list are 1. that they were notable before getting old and 2. lived to at least 100. Whether they are still alive or not is indicated already in the table if there is a year of death, that they died at 100+ does not need a citation as that can be found in the persons article.

Thank You for adding Margia Dean although it is a shame that you had to wait until she died to add her. I added her while she was alive and then someone decided she was not worthy of being added while she was alive and deleted her.

There are others who are 100 or older that I also added and then they were deleted even after I provided sources so I guess they will not be added until they die so that is a shame but there is nothing i can do about it.

Actressess that i added that were deleted were Margia Dean, Janis Paige age 100, Barbara Fuller age 101, Jacqueline White age 100, Annette Warren age 100, Patricia Wright age 101, Juli Lynn Charlot age 100. i know that they will not beadded until they die but my hope is the people who manage this page will add them while they are alive. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 130.45.201.173 (talk) 22:51, 23 July 2023 (UTC)

You should consider adding producer/screenwriter NORMAN SPENCER to the list of centenarians in entertainment. He was born on August 13, 1914, and is apparently still alive at the age of 109 (older than any male on your list), according to IMDB. Mr. Spencer was a close associate of the legendary director David Lean and collaborated with him on such films as Great Expectations, Hobson's Choice, and Bridge on the River Kwai.
