Have false claimants lived passed 23 years?

Ahmadiyyah Counter Argument:        
                    
“No false prophet has lived passed the span of 23 years”

As I have previously mentioned in my other post that this is a self invented criteria to prove Mirza Ghulam Ahmad truthful by any sense of the word.  

If this was a criteria given by the Quran or the Sunnah, indeed no false claimant would have lived passed 23 years. But 
the false claimants mentioned below are terrible transgressors and yet they have easily lived passed the lifespan of 23 years:

1)    Elijah Muhammad, claimed to be a prophet and the second coming of Jesus a.s. in 1934 and lived on to year 1975. 
2)    Al Mizra Abbas from Tehran, claimed prophethood in 1233 AH and lived on to year 1818 CE.  
3)    Saleh son of Tarif Burghwati: Saleh claimed prophethood and Mahdihood in 125 AH. Ruled  over his people for 47 years.
4)    Abu Mansoor 'Eessa: Abu Mansoor 'Eessa claimed prophethood and Mahdihood in 341 AH and ruled over his people for 28 years. 
5)    Muhammad son of Said: Muhammad son of Said is considered as one of the four infamous forgers of hadith. He distorted the hadith: "I am the seal of prophets and there is no prophet after me" by adding: "unless Allah wills {otherwise}". He is reported to have drawn his own conclusions from this addition and claimed prophethood for himself.
6)    Jasmin- He appeared in 1998 in Bosnia, claiming the War of Bosnia and Herzegovina was the Battle of Armageddon, and claims that he is the Messiah, tasked by God to introduce the human community into the "golden age", and claims that his destiny has been described under the symbol and notion of a lamb. 
7)    Mahmoud Muhammad Taha, who is known as a “Unorthodox Muslim Reformer” made changes to the shariah under the guise of being a Muslim Reformer. His spiritual movement still exists today, mostly in regions sought through asylums.
8)    Riyaz Ahmad Gohar Shahi claims that he is the Mahdi, Messiah and the Kalki avatar. His organization known as the “Messiah Foundation” exists till today. The death of Riyaz Shahi is however unknown.
9)    Rashid Khalifa from Egypt claimed to be a prophet in 1974 served as an Imam of Arizona  Mosque – and was murdered in 1990 (he however lived 16 years). 

10) A splinter sect of Ahmadiyya known as Jamaat ul sahih, the leader of this jamaat claims to be an "ummati nabi" under the guidance of Mirza Ghulam Ahmad's writings (i guess it is worthwhile to wait 23 years to believe if he is true or not).
