Fails WP:GNG. While some argue that 110 yr+ people are notabile automatically (they are not and there is no guideline that says so) this person just reached 110, the bottom cut off for super old. Best line is "Mayor Siegfried Nagl, said... that Dunz was in good shape for a woman of her age" which is a nice thing to say to any woman aged over about 100. Best of all though is another user suggested this article for deletion [1] that usually votes to keep every article about the super old. Legacypac (talk) 09:27, 31 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Delete/merge to list Where applicable, I always go straight to WP:NOPAGE, thus avoiding the notability debate. The most interesting thing said about this person is: "Her party was attended by Graz Mayor Siegfried Nagl, who was quoted as saying at the time that Dunz was in good shape for a woman of her age." (Crikey, just realized Legacypac said the same thing.) EEng (talk) 21:10, 1 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

What else could the Mayor say given she was still breathing? Any shape is good shape at her age. Legacypac (talk) 15:59, 2 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

It's like the old joke that growing old isn't so bad when you consider the alternative. EEng (talk) 22:15, 2 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Per nom.--Inception2010 (talk) 06:28, 3 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Delete This article has been tagged since April 2013 for having only one reference (now a dead link) and as possibly failing to meet our general notability guideline. It's never been improved. Being a supercentenarian (110+) is not inherently notable. I haven't searched exhaustively, but what I could find was a bunch of sites that mirror Wikipedia and a passing mention in a work of fiction [2]. There's no evidence of significant coverage in multiple, independent reliable sources. There's nothing of encyclopedic value in the article. WP:NOTMEMORIAL.
