Whilst it can be interesting if a person held a notable title (oldest in their country or such), posting massive reams of stats does nothing more than give the impression that they were little more than a data point. Please try and desist from this.

I think exactly the opposite, I put it as a curiosity and also to exalt the achievements of these people

Sometimes it can appear somewhat insensitive when someone is alive - if statistics are continually produced for absolutely every milestone they reach.

But when they have passed away, details like this can often be seen as more of a tribute to what they achieved - in a life now complete.

More importantly … Rest in Peace Ms Marina Femke van der Es-Siewers.

I don't think 43rd-oldest person in Europe or 26th-oldest in the history of Benelux are notable enough to really need a mention.

However, as you stated, most importantly: rest in peace, Marina Femke van der Es-Siewers.

For me just the fact that she appears on the list is already remarkable, she is among the 50 oldest in one and among the 30 oldest in another, it is worthy yes

Rest in eternal peace, Ms. Marina van der Es-Siewers (1913-2024).
