Questionable notability. A person who is "possibly the oldest person with x" does not warrant an article for that reason unless it's picked up on by medical academics or more serious publications than those cited in this article. Josh Milburn (talk) 14:20, 21 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. The claim of being the oldest Downie was made by the nursing home where she lived, an utterly unreliable source. WWGB (talk) 10:23, 22 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect to Downs syndrome. Maybe deserves a mention there, but not warranting an individual article. ~EDDY ^{(talk/contribs)}~ 19:10, 23 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Delete If this "possible" oldest record was actually notable, we would have better than find a grave (not at all reliable), an article from the paper in the town she lived in and a feel good article from a TV station in the state she lived in. There are just not enough sources to pass GNG.John Pack Lambert (talk) 02:42, 24 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
