This reiterated phrase is in the main section. Sure, it doesn't really matter too much but at this point in time, it would be better off as "only U.S president" because as all of us know, Jimmy Carter is the only U.S president to accomplish this feat and if it happens again, then we can consider the wording of "first U.S president" but I think we have a long while before we even get a runner-up in that regard. ~ MountainJew6150 (talk) 21:35, 20 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I do not think that reaching 100 is a "feat" that Carter "accomplished"; nor do I think it is "doing something," other than not dying. Carter was lucky -- okay, maybe he exercised and ate right, but, nevertheless, his having reached 100 is trivia and, in my opinion, does not belong in the lead. I will not delete it, because everyone else seems to want it there. I merely offer you something to consider. Maurice Magnus (talk) 23:28, 20 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Why even "the longest-lived US president"? If he had still been serving as president at age 100, that would be noteworthy. The fact that he was the longest-lived is no more important than if he'd been the tallest or the shortest. Maurice Magnus (talk) 01:51, 21 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I was today years old when I found out that surviving 100 years, something only about a mllion people out of 8 billion currently living people, wasn't a feat that is accomplished. Sure it's "trivia" but frankly, let's be straight up, 90-95 of Wikipedia is glorified trivia that is presented as important information. If him reaching 100 doesn't belong in the lead, then his post presidency work doesn't belong in the lead either, nor does for example, on Donald Trump's page, the fact that he became the oldest president in history twice and is the second non consecutive term president (that's not even a anti Trump sentiment since we're supposed to be objective here), but if those objectively true fact about Trump shouldn't be in his lead, then this objectivelt true Carter fact shouldn't be. But yes, being the ONLY president in 250 years to live to 100 is indeed something to put in the lead and acknowledge as noteworthy for the sheer rarity of the fact, with it being again the first time in TWO HUNDRED FIFTY YEARS! One more counter argument, if him being the first president of 45 people to be president living too 100 years old isn't worth putting in the lead, and is considered un-needed material, then by extension we shouldn't have the first female president referencing it as well in her lead when it eventually happens, because both are equally rare and impressive feats, they are both at the end of the day, trivia by this logic. 71.8.165.62 (talk) 10:22, 2 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
People are fascinated not just because he reached 100, but which way he did. Not only he reached 100, but even more impressive is the fact that he is the first president to be born in a hospital. First time in US history that a president born in a hospital, and immediately becomes first president to reach 100! Context matters!213.230.87.116 (talk) 17:52, 2 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
The debate over whether Carter reaching 100 is significant reminds me of how longevity is perceived differently in global politics. In the U.S., it's a rare milestone, but in other countries, some leaders remain active well into old age. Mahathir Mohamad, for example, was still running for office at 97. Perhaps it's not just about reaching a certain age, but also about how one spends those later years. Baginda 480 (talk) 13:08, 30 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
