No consensus that this article is justified

It was explained at the most recent proposal to (re-)create this article, Talk:List of oldest living people/Archive 15#List of oldest living men, that it is not justified. DerbyCountyinNZ ^{(Talk Contribs)} 06:36, 31 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Ignoring the WP:BLP issues given that this is unsourced, this article is completely redundant since it's already covered in both List of oldest living people and Oldest people. The less duplicated articles and lists, the better. Support the speedy deletion. CommanderLinx (talk) 09:51, 31 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

- A list of the oldest living women would be redundant, as it would nearly duplicate the oldest people list, however there are less than 20 living male supercentenarians right now. Men are rare among supercentenarians. That may change in the future, but for now, it's rare for supercentenarians to be men. RightGot (talk) 12:57, 31 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
