Bessie Camm

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

There is no notablilty guideline or policy that says “the oldest X is notable”. The sourcing for this article is pretty thin and does not pass WP:GNG. Of the 5 references, three are obituaries for the previous oldest person in the UK and only tell us “Bessie Camm is now the oldest in the UK”. One is a GRG table which tells us nothing other than her name, age and country. The last is a local news article for when she became the oldest in the UK. Further google searches only bring up routine obituaries and more local articles. Even if these sources meant she was somehow notable, then WP:NOPAGE and WP:BIO1E should almost certainly apply as there is nothing to say about her other than the five basic trivial longevity stuff (Born, worked, married, became the oldest in the country, died). Entry on a list in List of British supercentenarians is enough as this article is never going to expand beyond a WP:PERMASTUB.

This topic area has a LONG history of off-Wiki canvassing and given that it occurred as recently as two weeks ago, I'm adding the NOTAVOTE tag. CommanderLinx (talk) 04:58, 23 August 2018 (UTC)
 * Delete Obviously non-notable. Includes pointless trivia. Does not meet WP:BIO1E. The keepist parade will arrive soon. &raquo; Shadowowl  &#124;  talk  18:35, 23 August 2018 (UTC)

 * Delete This article fails WP:GNG and falls under WP:NOPAGE guidelines. There is nothing to say about her that is encyclopedic that doesn't already fit into a table here List of British supercentenarians, where it's easier to view. The only other information in this article is fan trivia like when she got married, had no kids, and the standard "secret" to her longevity question she answered. None of that is needed and she is not a notable individual to warrant an article to begin with. Newshunter12 (talk) 05:06, 25 August 2018 (UTC)
