 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Fails WP:GNG. Only sources I can find in a WP:BEFORE search are WP:ROUTINE about being the oldest person in the world, mostly short obituaries. Per wikipedia policy, being the oldest person in the world does not grant an automatic notability presumption. SportingFlyer  talk  06:55, 10 August 2018 (UTC)

 * Delete or Redirect to the chronological list section at oldest people where she is appropriately listed. Nom is spot on. There is no guideline/policy that the oldest living person is automatically notable. The last AFD closed as no consensus back in November 2015 and no improvement has been made in regards to sourcing or expanding the article beyond the absolute bare basics (name, born, married, died) or fluffy longevity trivia (ages of siblings). Even if the sources meant she was somehow notable, there is nothing of interest to say about her other than her name, birth/death dates and that she was the oldest in the world at some point. Easily handled on a list per WP:NOPAGE, WP:PERMASTUB and the biographies section at the WP:WOP wikiproject. CommanderLinx (talk) 11:33, 10 August 2018 (UTC)

 * Delete. This article fails WP:GNG and the little encyclopedic information it contains (name, nationality, age, birth/death dates) is easily displayed on a list, which it already is elsewhere, instead of in a longevity trivia filled Permastub. Information about her relatives and the standard "secret" to her longevity question she answered add nothing of value to this encyclopedia. Newshunter12 (talk) 22:49, 13 August 2018 (UTC)
