It's been over seven years since this came up but this is still someone who lived to 113 and that's about it. All the articles are about her death and nothing more. To repeat from the 2007 discussion, she was never more than the ninth-oldest living person in the world or the fourth-oldest person living in the United States.

Delete: Per WP:1E (with the "one event" being extreme longevity, rather than individual birthdays) and WP:NOTNEWSPAPER. Anything of encyclopedic merit here can be (and is) mentioned on one of the many longevity-related lists on Wikipedia.

 * Delete was never the oldest person anywhere, just a run-of-the-mill supercentenarian. Wikipedia is WP:NOTNEWS and subject fails WP:1E and WP:GNG. Kraxler (talk) 18:53, 5 August 2015 (UTC)
