Another contested PROD. Unremarkable sources, none of them even remotely surpass routine coverage, and when stripped of all the banal points we're left with a bunch of random statistics that fails WP:NOPAGE. The Blade of the Northern Lights (話して下さい) 19:09, 30 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Keep plenty of reliable sources significant coverage that is sustained over an extended period of years, easily passes WP:GNG. The nomination is based on WP:IDONTLIKEIT and an interpretation of past consensus. If a valid policy can be quoted then I may change my vote, thanks Atlantic306 (talk) 20:37, 30 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 longevity milestones or longevity milestones for various arbitrary categories, with some fluff about her driving history and her offspring. There is almost nothing actually said about her in an article that is supposed to be about her, which demonstrates how the article fails WP:NOPAGE. 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/merge to an appropriate list. wearing the hat presented to her by the Red Hat Society tells it all. NOPAGE. E Eng 03:17, 4 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

How good is the "80 year accident-free driving record" sentence? CommanderLinx (talk) 12:08, 4 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

My mom and dad are 90 and 93 respectively, still driving, and still 100% accident-free, so I'm not impressed. E Eng 17:05, 4 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Delete/Redirect to appropriate list. This is a WP:PERMASTUB that can't be expanded beyond born, got married, had kids, became oldest in the country and then died. Take out the fluffy longevity trivia that strains to pad the article such as two quotes about her from her son in law and that she liked fast cars and there's nothing of interest that isn't easily handled in a list.

Delete – Once the trivia about longevity stats is removed, there remains nothing of substance about this person's life (well, she liked to drive). Her entry in the various "oldest people" tables is enough to convey the only thing that she is really notable for, i.e. her exceptional longevity. — JFG ^talk 12:25, 6 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Delete and Redirect to List of the verified oldest people as per WP:NOPAGE and WP:PERMASTUB. Over and above the fact that she was very very very old when she died she does not seem to achieved notability. Also she is only number 62 on the list as it is and 24th oldest person from the US and will continue to descend. --Dom from Paris (talk) 18:02, 7 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
