Marita Camacho Quirós

Hello Neveselbert. I noticed that you removed my addition of Marita Camacho Quirós to the centenarians list of politicians and civil servants, under the argument that she's neither of those. However, her article has a category that says "National Liberation Party (Costa Rica) politicians", meaning she has some political affiliation with that party. Also, the same article explains that as First Lady of Costa Rica, she traveled with her husband, the President of Costa Rica, to other countries, and met with several political figures, so she was involved with politics at some level. Point is, I think she should be added back, but if you still disagree, that's fine. Petrandreev13 (talk) 09:10, 26 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Petrandreev13, thanks for your message. Since the centenarian lists are sorted by career, the standard for inclusion in the politicians and civil servants section is that the person must have held elected office, a formal government role or civil service position in their own right. I couldn't find any reliable sources describing her as having held such a position herself.

Given that, I think her inclusion in that particular list would be a stretch. List of centenarians (miscellaneous) might be a more appropriate home, as it includes centenarians who are notable but don't clearly fall into the other career-based categories. All the best, ‑‑Neveselbert (talk · contribs · email) 23:09, 27 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
