The result was Redirect to List of American supercentenarians#Clara_Huhn, insufficient reliable sources for anything more than a mention on a list. Davewild (talk) 20:40, 17 December 2007 (UTC)

Stub article on a very old person, notability not established per WP:BIO. The only references to her are in list articles, and I have found nothing more substantial in reliable sources in a google search, while google news finds nothing at all. I had merged the stub to List of American supercentenarians#Clara_Huhn, but the merger was reverted twice, once without comment and once with the note that "Oldest in a state seems notable" (that seems to me to be a rather marginal assertion of notability, but in any case non-trivial sources are still needed per WP:BIO).
Huhn is listed in List of the oldest people and in U.S. state longevity recordholders, which seems enough when there is so little to say about her; otherwise I suggest restoring the redirect to List of American supercentenarians#Clara_Huhn. -BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 11:51, 11 December 2007 (UTC)

• Delete: The interesting material about this woman seems already to be in other articles, and ther eseems no point in her having an article of her own. Anarchia (talk) 20:19, 11 December 2007 (UTC)
• Keep Notability is evident and sourced. Article's stub status is not a reason to delete. Colonel Warden (talk) 00:24, 12 December 2007 (UTC)
  • Reply. Sorry, but that's simply wrong. WP:BIO#Basic_criteria requires at a minimum substantial coverage in reliable sources to establish notability. The sources provided are entries in lists, and offer no substantial coverage. --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 11:28, 12 December 2007 (UTC)
• Delete Just getting old does not satisfy WP:BIO. One reference is just a directory listing, and the other is not the substantial coverage required to show notability per WP:N. Inclusion in a list is sufficient. Edison (talk) 17:39, 12 December 2007 (UTC)
• Merge as stub to List of American supercentenarians. Fromseatoshiningsea (talk) 00:16, 16 December 2007 (UTC)
