Non-notable supercentenarian. Any information of value (Her name, age and country) is already present at both List of Canadian supercentenarians and List of supercentenarians who died in 2015. Fails WP:GNG and WP:V as no sources confirm she was the oldest living Canadian at the time of her death. CommanderLinx (talk) 18:38, 9 March 2015 (UTC)

 * I've always found it quite odd that Wikipedians are determined to always create a standalone article about every single person who actually reaches the age of 100, even if all we can actually write or source about them is "this person exist(s/ed)". I acknowledge that it's rare enough an achievement that we should maintain some information about it — but nom is completely correct that if this is the best we can do, then simply including her name in one or more lists of supercentenarians is entirely sufficient and a dedicated standalone biography is not necessary.

 * Delete The list entries are absolutely sufficient. Just growing old does not entail notability. Nothing else of interest here. --Randykitty (talk) 13:34, 16 March 2015 (UTC)
