Longevity is not a reason for inclusion here. Wikipedia is not a directory of longest living people Fiddle Faddle 21:56, 14 October 2015 (UTC)

• Keep: She is world record holder, so notable. --Human3015^TALK  00:39, 15 October 2015 (UTC)
• Keep; her life is notable for its length, as testified by the sourcing. Saying "longevity is not a reason" strikes me as a category error. Imaginatorium (talk) 04:15, 15 October 2015 (UTC)
• Strong Keep Delete the world oldest person article?...It is incorrect. also, this article has been created with the other 30 languages of Wikipedia. This person is well-known, reason for deleting the article does not have even one. You're why hated so much longevity article? I do not understand the meaning of your action.--Inception2010 (talk) 10:30, 15 October 2015 (UTC)
• Keep: world record holder. period.--BabbaQ (talk) 16:49, 15 October 2015 (UTC)
• Strong Keep. Obviously. Nominator has proposed a number of articles be deleted ([1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6]), including well sourced articles that clearly pass WP:GNG, for no reason other than "I just don't like it". -- Ollie231213 (talk) 22:31, 15 October 2015 (UTC)
• Keep By this point, Canadian Paul should be laughed out of Wikipedia for attempting to nominate someone who's the 6th oldest person in history. Anyone this desperate to prove a point needs to take some time off, as they have successfully embarrassed themselves to the point that the only thing they could do that is more embarrassing would be nominating Shigechiyo Izumi or Jeanne Calment for deletion. This is not up for debate, this is literally the worst AfD I have ever witnessed, an embarrassment to the process. This is what happens when AfD decisions are twisted to the point that no one bothers to try anymore. --2602:306:8381:7390:C091:2760:198B:C94 (talk) 23:14, 15 October 2015 (UTC)
• Keep - Obviously notable person with significant sources and coverage to easily pass WP:GNG, WP:ANYBIO and WP:BASIC (and I didn't even have to dig). The nominator of this ticket cited WP:NOTDIR as the main reason for listing this article for WP:AFD. There are no directories in this article whatsoever. Timtrent - I highly recommend that you brush up on WP:NOT and what the definition of a directory is. Directories are stand-alone lists of items that aren't associated with or significantly contribute to a Wikipedia topic or subject, such as a list of employee names and their phone number extensions under the organization's article, a syllabus or agenda of items for a concert, programming guides for a radio station, yellow pages or white pages - those are examples of directories. This article meets all notability criterion and does not qualify for deletion under AFD. ~Oshwah~ ^{(talk) (contribs)} 23:36, 15 October 2015 (UTC)
