2 AfDs produced a no consensus result, but times have changed and the vast numbers of SPAs that historically flooded such discussions are now gone. There's only routine coverage here and, once stripped of all the navel-gazing longevity puffery that borders on self-parody, we're left with an almost textbook example of WP:NOPAGE.

 * Delete. Unlike Chiyo Miyako and Kane Tanaka, she never had the title of the world's oldest woman. Georgia guy (talk) 20:24, 4 November 2018 (UTC)

 * Delete – Just being characterized as a "titleholder" reeks of morbid fancruft. Her bio is otherwise not notable; let her rest in peace. — JFG talk 23:33, 4 November 2018 (UTC)
 * Delete This article fails WP:GNG and WP:BIO1E because the subject has only WP:ROUTINE coverage, not WP:SIGCOV demonstrating notability and there is no notability guideline that "the oldest x" is notable. If anything, this article demonstrates the falsity of notability by supposed age titles, since they can be vainly given and taken away at any time - it's not a real accomplishment like building a grand bridge, discovering a planet, or inventing a vaccine. Real accomplishments stick, age fancruft doesn't. The article also clearly fails WP:NOPAGE. Newshunter12 (talk) 00:13, 5 November 2018 (UTC)
 * Delete/redirect to list(s). NOPAGE as usual. "The two were the first to build a concrete bottom pool in Cherokee County at that time" -- says it all. EEng 16:01, 5 November 2018 (UTC)
