No independent notability established beyond her exceptional longevity. We have tables for this. — JFG talk 17:46, 30 October 2018 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * 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 fluff about her family and the standard longevity advice. 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 the List of British supercentenarians, where they are easier to view, so this permanent WP:PERMASTUB is not needed.

 * Redirect to List of British supercentenarians (with the history preserved under the redirect) in lieu of deletion. The nominator notes, "We have tables for this." I recommend that instead of deleting the article's history, we redirect the article to the person's place in the table by adding an anchor to the person's entry. It is useful to preserve the history so that any interested editors can merge content to List of British supercentenarians if they think the person deserves more than a mention in the table.

 * Delete/Redirect to appropriate list. Most of this article is padded with unrelated trivia about her family such as what ages her parents died and life and death dates of all her children. There's two sentences that tell us "she became the oldest in the country after the death of the previous". All four sources are WP:ROUTINE obituaries Once the strained trivia is removed, even if notable, WP:NOPAGE should apply as this article cannot be expanded beyond born, worked, got married, had kids, got old and then died.
