Why is Adele Lankenau in limbo? I thought her birthday last year was confirmed

Why is Adele Lankenau in limbo? I thought her birthday last year was confirmed

Exactly. Last year her birthday was confirmed, but not this year. This means she was last confirmed alive over a year ago, and thus she is in limbo now (no confirmation of a supercentenarian being alive within the last year).

I'm pretty sure I have seen cases that have not been confirmed alive in a year or more on these lists though, i.e. Aline Miles

True, but not all confirmations are made public. Privately, I can make use of my network of fellow researchers to confirm if supercentenarians are alive or not.

(Though, I would also be surprised if all supercentenarians currently listed as alive are actually all alive... you simply cannot know everything!)
