Talk:List of tallest people

Kevin Peter Hall

I do not understand why Kevin Peter Hall is not listed among the tallest actors on this page. Having played The Predator, he is definitely noteworthy, and according to his wikipedia page, stood 7 ft 2½ in.

Bao Xishun

The wiki article of Bao Xishun ([[1]]) mentions his height to be 2.47 metres (8 ft 1 in). In "People that are tallest (6 ft 3 in and over)" it's said to be 2.36 m (7 ft 9 in). Both heights are mentioned in different sources on the Internet. Which one is correct?

This article has some cleaning up to do

I feel this article has been edit abused alot and has to many unneeded people listed, along with people being listed incorrectly. I really dont think this page looks professional in any way, so Im asking for permission to remove a few listed heights, or maybe somone else can help spruce this page up.... -br7722

I would suggest that the tables of men be set to match the tables for women. This would clean up the display a lot and make the entries easier to read. Table parameters are easy to use. DaleDe (talk) 00:06, 15 May 2022 (UTC)

The "Unconfirmed and Disputed" section

Good Morning, I noticed that that section is so bad, for example there are people who are on list of tallest but also on disputed and unverified claims, also there are many people who got exposed for example jintera sigh who claimed to be 8 ft 2 but was measured at 7 ft 6, how is tat possible to him be really 8 ft 2? Also another claim siah khan ibn kashmir khan who claimed to be extremly tall, over 11 ft! but when he went to hospital it turned he was 7 ft 3 in... I understand height changing over the years and at end of day but almost 4 ft? really?

Grgo Kusic

Good Morning, maybye grgo kusic should be moved to disputed and unverified claims, there isn't anything proving his height,"photos of him" are photos of other giant Johann K. Petturson, at least he shouldn't be at 8 ft, there isn't even source which states him at 8 ft 4 (2.54cm)...

Vaino Myllyrinne

Can somebody add Him, why did he get deleted from this article.. He was 8 ft 3.1 in (2.52cm) Also some heights need to be corrected such as Ondor Gongor to 2.39cm not 2.38 ghazi at 7 ft 10.44.

Vaino Myllyrinne

Could somebody add him? He was 8 ft 3 in, he was n list but deleted for some reason Finland 1909-1963 (53) 8 ft 3 in

Dodgy height claims

Why are Middleton and Keever heading the main lists when their heights are disputed/unconfirmed? 2A00:23C6:2000:A401:119C:B356:8957:A4CD (talk) 19:07, 16 February 2022 (UTC)

Andre the Giant

Andre the Giant's kayfabe (real in the wrestling world) was 7'4, but in reality he was around 6'10. He was noticeable shorter than Wilt Chamberlain, who was 7' https://athlonsports.com/girls/was-andre-giant-7-feet-4-tall-height-drink-100-beers — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.240.41.163 (talk) 22:50, 26 March 2022 (UTC)

Ring Kuot is 7’2, not 8 ft. +

Guy has a public Facebook. One of his most recent photos is him clearly shorter than 7’3 Marial Dhal. 2603:8001:6E02:DF0E:448D:FDBB:E9E:2B8C (talk) 07:45, 11 May 2022 (UTC)

Grady Patterson

At 265 cm tall, Grady Patterson was listed as the third tallest man in history. I moved him to the disputed section.

In fact, Mr Patterson is not a real person. A page about a Grady Patterson was created as a joke on the Tallest Man web site years ago, with some poor photoshopped pictures. I remember this because I was a user on the forum section of that web site.

Ideally, Mr Patterson should me removed completely, but I put him in the disputed section for now.
