Non-notable old lady. She was the oldest person in a given geographical area for a few months, she volunteered... and yeah, that's it. At most we're left with 2 paragraphs, thus WP:NOPAGE. The Blade of the Northern Lights (話して下さい) 16:24, 18 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Delete This article fails WP:GNG and WP:BIO1E because there is only WP:ROUTINE local 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 just routine trivia fancruft. She lived. She avoided the Reaper longer then most. She died. Pure WP:NOPAGE. Her age, life dates, and nationality are already recorded on the List of supercentenarians by continent, where they are easier to view, so this permanent WP:PERMASTUB is not needed.

Delete – The only coverage this person received was because of her reaching an advanced age. Her age is notable, not her life or deeds. Hence her placement among the oldest Oceanian people ever is sufficient for recording notable facts in this encyclopedia. — JFG ^talk 09:55, 19 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Keep She received coverage not just for reaching an advanced age, but for doing things at an advanced age, as in volunteering from the age of 100 to the age of 110. An award for volunteers is named in her honour. RebeccaGreen (talk) 16:04, 25 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

Delete having a nonnotable award named for you does not make you notable. Can't add much to the good delete rationals above except to ask why this was relisted? 3-1 delete seems pretty clear, just need an Admin to close it. Legacypac (talk) 07:47, 3 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
