Fails WP:GNG. Source 1 only mentions her name and does not go in-depth about her, I wonder how reliable source 2 (grg table, only says name and age) is and source 3 consists of the confirmation that she's dead and the usual pointless trivia, which (the trivia) is also featured in the Biography section of this article. This is a WP:BIO1E page. If someone wants to keep it it can be merged into List_of_supercentenarians_from_the_United_States &raquo; Shadowowl  &#124;  talk  19:53, 31 August 2018 (UTC)

 * Delete The article fails WP:GNG due to lacking significant reliable sources. Brief mentions of her in the first two sources are both insignificant and I to doubt the reliability of the GRG table in source two, since the GRG has, among other things, verified some claims in the past only to withdraw them at a later time. The article also fails WP:LISTEN because there is no significant coverage demonstrating that being the first verified person to reach 112 and 113 years old is notable. The longevity trivia in the article like having kids and making cheese in source three also adds nothing of encyclopedic value. Newshunter12 (talk) 11:53, 2 September 2018 (UTC)
 * Delete - Per nom. Source 1 is useless and gives a whole ONE sentence mention about her. Source 2, while reliable (according to the WOP wikiproject), tells us nothing except for name, age and country. Source 3 is a WP:ROUTINE obituary and the photo gallery source (listed in the see also section for some reason) would be unreliable since we have no idea where that section on her came from. Did someone from the GRG write that or is it a plagiarized? Either way, fails WP:GNG and WP:NOPAGE. CommanderLinx (talk) 02:14, 3 September 2018 (UTC)
