Another eminently non-notable oldster. Only two very unremarkable sources, and evading the reaper for a long time is not inherently notable, so WP:NOPAGE applies. The Blade of the Northern Lights (話して下さい) 23:01, 1 November 2018 (UTC)

• Delete This article fails WP:GNG and WP:BIO1E because there is only WP:ROUTINE coverage of her that fails to demonstrate notability and there is no notability guideline that "the oldest x" is notable. The content of the article is pretty much just trivia fluff about her family and the documentation proving her age claim. There is almost nothing actually said about her in an article that is supposed to be about her, which demonstrates how the article fails WP:NOPAGE. Her age, life dates, and nationality are already recorded on three different lists, where they are easier to view, so this permanent WP:PERMASTUB is not needed.

• Comment Could people please refrain from using ageist derogatory terms like oldster. It is disrepectful. I have no opinion whether or not this article is kept or deleted, but this ongoing debasing term on several of the AfD is unencyclopedic, if not bigoted.

• Delete Fails WP:GNG. Even if these two sources meant she was notable then WP:NOPAGE and WP:PERMASTUB should apply. CommanderLinx (talk) 09:58, 3 November 2018 (UTC)
• Delete/merge to list Complete and utter lack of content other than longevity fancruft like past confusion over who held the "title". EEng 02:57, 4 November 2018 (UTC)
• Merge/redirect to List of supercentenarians from the United States#List of people in lieu of deletion. There is enough sourced biographical information in the article to support a merge. Cunard (talk) 03:22, 4 November 2018 (UTC)
• Delete – Nothing to preserve aside from longevity trivia, which is well-covered in relevant tables. — JFG ^talk 11:49, 4 November 2018 (UTC)
