The result was merge with List of American supercentenarians. The succession box issue can be solved by redirecting to the list, as is the case for Anna Eliza Williams, the next name in the box.--Kubigula (talk) 05:07, 19 December 2007 (UTC)

Yet another unreferenced stub article on a very old person. BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 20:25, 9 December 2007 (UTC)

• Delete or Merge No substantial independent, reliable sources to establish meeting WP:N or WP:BIO. Nothing here that couldn't be summarized in the many supercentenarian lists. I'm not the best Google searcher though... as with all these of these SC articles, I would at least reconsider my position if significant coverage could be found.

• Keep As well as the fact that her succession boxes will be less organized. Neal (talk) 21:47, 9 December 2007 (UTC).
  • Comment Keeping an unreferenced article to allow the use of succession boxes seems to me to be a thoroughly bad idea. Boxes are fine for linking between notable people, but they don't establish notability --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 04:10, 10 December 2007 (UTC)
• Merge to List of American supercentenarians. List should probably be reformatted (maybe as a table?), but if the only notable fact about a person's life is the length of it, verifiable non-stubworthy information will be impossible to find. Better as a few sentences in the list, IMHO. --Storkk (talk) 15:54, 10 December 2007 (UTC)
