The subject of this article fails to meet the standards of WP:N due to lack of multiple, non-trivial references in reliable, third-party sources. There's no Wikipedia policy or consensus that states that the oldest anything is automatically notable by the encyclopedia's standards; numerous recent AfDs on the "oldest" individuals have been kept or deleted based on their individual merits. Thus we default to the general notability guidelines and any material of encyclopedic merit can be included on the many longevity-related lists on Wikipedia.

Delete One obit and one birthday article suggesting oatmeal as a key to longevity do not notability make. Fails WP:GNG. Fails WP:SIGCOV. Fails to even assert, let alone establish notability. Has been tagged thusly since 2009. More than half a decade is quite enough time to resolve the notability issue. Please delete. David in DC (talk) 22:11, 13 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - Subject does not satisfy the general notability guidelines with significant coverage in multiple, independent, reliable sources per WP:GNG. What coverage there is, is local in nature and trivial in content. Dirtlawyer1 (talk) 16:58, 14 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per above and per WP:NOPAGE, even if notable. ~ Rob^Talk 18:37, 14 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect There are few sources and she was not "old enough" to be among the oldest. Did not do anything to warrant notability for other reasons than her long life. Could be redirected with a mini-bio to a proper page. 930310 (talk) 19:15, 15 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - old, but no cookie. Bearian (talk) 17:26, 17 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
