Too similar to List of supercentenarians from the United States; Page is also not similar to other articles, which are organized by continent or by nation, NOT by multiple continents put together. The name is also confusing.Tim198 (talk) 20:14, 31 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. This is just listcruft. Other lists are by continent or nation; putting two continents together doesn't accomplish much. It's also true that the vast majority of the cases are from the USA, and most of the rest from Canada.Ryoung122 22:14, 31 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Delete continent/nation makes more sense. People who need information in this article can synthesize it themselves from "continent" articles. Rklawton (talk) 01:48, 1 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Comment This could easily be called "list of U.S. supercentenarians some people from Ecuador, Puerto Rico and Canada". I'm not sure why we have to organize old people by nationality, or why we have a bunch of lists called "List of _________ supercentenarians" (Australian supercentenarians, Belgian supercentenarians, Canadian supercentenarians, etc.) but not a plain old list called List of supercentenarians. It's a blue link, but only as a redirect to Casey's Top 100 old folks ("Moving up a notch from #34 to #33 is Neva Morris. When asked the secret of her longevity, Neva said, 'Because I haven't died yet.' Now, on with the countdown." Mandsford (talk) 13:46, 1 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
