There is nothing in the notability guidelines that suggest the "oldest living Nebraskan" is notable so we default to WP:GNG which she fails as there is no significant coverage in reliable sources. This person is non-notable. All references are dead links. Taking out the unsourced longevity trivia leaves you with a name, age, country and that she used to make cookies and never had kids. Nothing of interest outside List of supercentenarians from the United States. Per WP:NOPAGE and the guidelines at WP:WOP, she belongs on a list, not a standalone article.

 * Delete The fact that someone was at one point the oldest living person of their particular US state does not make them notable.John Pack Lambert (talk) 20:53, 11 June 2016 (UTC)

 * Keep the coverage runs from her becoming the oldest person living and an obituary when they died. --Richard Arthur Norton (1958- ) (talk) 22:31, 12 June 2016 (UTC)
 * Two WP:ROUTINE obituaries is not significant coverage in reliable sources. The guidelines at the WP:WOP state an article such as this belongs on a list and not a standalone article. CommanderLinx (talk) 02:20, 13 June 2016 (UTC)


 * Delete/redirect per WP:NOPAGE. Desperate attempts to plump article up include, "Her mother, a homemaker, lived to be nearly 100 years old" and "Before she moved to the Pine View Good Samaritan Center in Valentine, Nebraska in 1989, Stetter made candy and cookies to sell or give away."
