I'd PROD this, but there is technically a first AfD here. Despite the puffery in the article there's no evidence that this is "one of the most widely reported longevity claims in recent years", and in any event it only states that she was born, lived for some indeterminate time, and died. Once stripped of the filler material about Guinness and the GRG, there's clearly WP:NOPAGE here; the claims about her birth and death dates are best handled on a list in the Longevity claims article.

Delete This article fails WP:BIO1E and WP:NOPAGE. Her age claim is so outlandish that she scammed some news coverage, but she barely even qualifies to be listed in Longevity claims. Her claimed age of 128 is just that ridiculous. This WP:PERMASTUB is not needed in an encyclopedia. Newshunter12 (talk) 05:37, 8 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Delete The actions of the boosters who engaged in promoting her longevity claim might make them notable, but Israel herself is not notable.John Pack Lambert (talk) 05:17, 9 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - One of those who were known only for claiming themselves to be oldest or very old. This is similar to other few recently nominated articles. These subjects lack significant coverage especially when we take their extraordinary claims into account. Rzvas (talk) 06:58, 9 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
