No independent notability besides her exceptional longevity. The only coverage this person received was because of her reaching an advanced age. Her age is notable, not her life or deeds. Hence her placement on the list of American supercentenarians among the 100 oldest American people ever is sufficient for recording notable facts in this encyclopedia. — JFG talk 09:35, 19 November 2018 (UTC)

 * Delete all thoroughly routine coverage; she lived, she volunteered, she walked places, she died. The overtly promotional tone of this page certainly doesn't help. The Blade of the Northern Lights ( 話して下さい ) 15:58, 19 November 2018 (UTC)
 * Delete This article blatantly fails WP:GNG, WP:BIO1E, WP:NOTINHERITED and WP:NOPAGE. There is no policy that the "oldest x" is notable and this article is packed with longevity fancruft like she got a gift and letter from a politician for being old and she liked to walk instead of use a car. I agree with the above that the article seems very promotional in nature. Newshunter12 (talk) 01:31, 20 November 2018 (UTC)
 * We are told all about her life: she was born in Russia and moved to the United States when she was two, she got a master's degree, married a real estate developer, had a daughter, taught theatre ... oh, yes, and she lived a long time. And that's more or less it. Delete. The editor who uses the pseudonym "JamesBWatson" (talk) 21:57, 25 November 2018 (UTC)
