[edit] Cleanup

While this article is an interesting read, there's a few issues that should be addressed. I've broken it up into issues that concern the whole article and specific section.

[edit] General

  • The article is a mixture of three different categories, only one of which really matches the title of longest marriages.
  • Much of the sourcing is good, though other Wikpedias are not considered reliable sources. Any entry citing another Wikimedia project should be removed or have a citation from a primary source.

[edit] Section 1: "Highest age of married couples"

  • The section is a rather odd category that addressed the couple's age rather than the duration of their marriage. This doesn't seem to fit the article and this section should probably be removed.

[edit] Section 2: "> 80 years"

  • This section is more in line with the article's title, though it's really a "very long marriages" section rather than a definitive list of the longest marriage. The cutoff of "> 80 years" is pretty much arbitrary. I think this section would be better as a "Top X" list where the top 5 or 10 longest marriages were listed.
  • A number of entries in this section are sourced to nl.wikipedia and should be removed or have better citations.

[edit] Section3: "60-80 years"

  • The final section is a list of fairly long marriages that are seem to be chosen arbitrarily. The lengths of these marriage don't fit the "longest" criteria (I personally know three marriages that could beat couples in this list") and essentially are various notable people with rather long marriages. I'm not sure how this section could be brought in line with the article's title.
  • Very few of these are sourced.

I think this is a case of "more is less" where cutting the article down to its core focus would greatly improve it. ChazBeckett 13:23, 4 March 2007 (UTC)

I think we can deleted the "60-80 years"-Section. But in with categorie we should put the "Highest age of married couples" - I think this shouldn't be lost. Statistician 06.03.2007 13:04 (CET)

I o some research - know only two are from the netherland-wiki. I need time to confirm them so please dont't delte them. Statistician 06.03.2007 14:05 (CET)
