Notability not established per WP:BIO. One article of a few hundred words in a local paper, two refs in non-WP:RS sources, and nothing much to say about her other than that she is old and eats egg sandwiches. Article has been merged into List of British supercentenarians, but has been unmerged, without improved references. --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 00:41, 27 November 2007 (UTC)


 * Merge: Again, and redirect. - Rjd0060 (talk) 00:59, 27 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep and improve. All a good game of who gets to Google it (references). Also per being the oldest person in a sizeable country, U.K. Neal (talk) 06:19, 27 November 2007 (UTC)
 * There are several hits on Google. They all say she is old and eats egg sandwiches. --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 07:28, 27 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Yes, but also that she is currently (at age 111 1/2 namely) the oldest person in the entire U.K., a very big country. Extremely sexy (talk) 12:12, 27 November 2007 (UTC)
 * So she is the oldest person in the UK, eats egg sandwiches, and has a great-grandson. That's not a biographical article, that's an item in a list. --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 12:21, 27 November 2007 (UTC)
 * I didn't google her name yet, so it looks like all she is is a factoid. Looks like she isn't worthy of her own article by that judgment. Neal (talk) 15:19, 27 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Wrong, and I will prove this with a lovely reference for this article, Neal. Extremely sexy (talk) 22:36, 27 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Strong keep. As per user "NealIRC" in fact. Extremely sexy (talk) 12:10, 27 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Weak keep. The article does seem better if merged with the British list, but then, again, she is the oldest of that group. Tim Ross ·talk  18:53, 27 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Merge & Redirect to List of British supercentenarians no sources establishing notability. RMHED (talk) 21:28, 27 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep as per bart and neal. &#39;&#39;&#91;&#91;User:Kitia&#124;Kitia&#93;&#93;&#39;&#39; (talk) 22:11, 27 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep Most of the supercentenarian articles deleted lately very much deserved to be deleted, but some should remain--such as this one.Oldest in a major country is notable. .DGG (talk) 11:20, 29 November 2007 (UTC)
 * What is a "major country" exactly? Cheers, CP 17:37, 29 November 2007 (UTC)


 * Merge. Nothing here that couldn't be done justice to in an entry at List of British supercentenarians Cheers, CP 17:37, 29 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Merge to List of British supercentenarians. A British supercentenarian is pretty much all she is, she has some information besides bare bones stuff, but not enough for her to be worthy of a whole article. --RandomOrca2 (talk) 19:48, 29 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep, being the oldest person in a given country is notable enough. RFerreira 07:25, 2 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep for now - at least while she's still alive, she's notable for one relatively significant fact, being the oldest person in the UK. After she dies, I agree that she'd no longer be particularly notable and this article should then be deleted. Terraxos 21:08, 2 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Reply. Please read WP:NOTE. --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 12:48, 4 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Merge and redirect to List of British supercentenarians. She seems notable now because she happens to be the oldest person in the UK, but that won't last forever, and she has no other claim to notability. Therefore, merge and redirect. --Fang Aili talk 18:40, 4 December 2007 (UTC)
