No independent notability established beyond her exceptional longevity. We have tables for this. — JFG ^talk 00:11, 21 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

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 on how she relates to other peoples ages or longevity milestones for various arbitrary categories, with the standard fluff added in (married, had kids, longevity secret, died). There is almost nothing actually said about her in an article that is supposed to be about her. 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.

Delete or Redirect to appropriate list per WP:NOPAGE and WP:PERMASTUB. Half the article is the fluffy trivia about her predecessor and successor and that someone else was older but living in another country. Other than that, the sources can only tell us she was born, she got married, she had kids and then she died. Nothing of interest that isn't already on a list.

Delete leaving on lists as usual. It's amazing that people spent their time scattering these worthless nothing "articles" all over creation. E Eng 23:28, 22 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
