Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of the verified oldest people
Read the opening line in this article: "''This is a list of the world's verified oldest people, verified to the standards of an international body widely recognized for specific expertise in longevity research, such as the Gerontology Research Group or Guinness World Records.''" ---> The verifying body does NOT have to be the GRG. It just so happens that, as of the present moment, there isn't another organisation which is as widely recognised (although others do exist). But the idea that - because this article is referenced to just that source - it should be deleted is ridiculous. There's nothing wrong with referencing an authoritative body, we see this elsewhere on Wikipedia. An article like this is something likely to be of great interest to many people so should definitely remain, but it should only be a list of people whose ages are proven to be true, in line with  - otherwise, we could have biblical claims listed here
