Hester Ford
AfDs for this article:


 * – ( View AfD View log )

Substantively the same as was AfDed in July with the exception of September 1 being declared in her honor (source 9). Still no evidence she meets notability guidelines as also discussed at Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Longevity. Was tagged G4, which the creator removed. Bringing here for discussion and if deleted, suggest protection of the redlink/redirect. StarM 23:31, 14 December 2020 (UTC)

 * Speedy delete per g4 absolutely no changes since last time. Praxidicae (talk) 23:33, 14 December 2020 (UTC)
 * keep would also like to see additional information regarding any recent news during covid-19 with oldest living American,., Eric Carr (talk) 03:29, 15 December 2020 (UTC)
 * keep she’s been subject to many media reports and is so annually, her birthday gains a lot of public attention every year. Plus her birthday was only recently named the Mother Hester Ford Day by commissioners. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Thebiggangwiki (talk • contribs) 08:47, 15 December 2020 (UTC)

 * Note to closer The above account (Thebiggangwiki) recreated this previously deleted article and is allegedly (see Sockpuppet investigations/Thebiggangwiki) the master of the below already struck sockpuppet. Newshunter12 (talk) 06:23, 17 December 2020 (UTC)
 * Comment above !vote Thebiggangwiki !vote is from article creator who also removed the prior speedy out of process.      StarM 23:26, 15 December 2020 (UTC)
 * Keep she’s also well known as videos of her exist which went though the roof. — Preceding unsigned comment added by John9912 (talk • contribs) 08:50, 15 December 2020 (UTC)

 * Delete just living longer than everyone else who was born at the same time as you with good documentation is not a sign of notability.John Pack Lambert (talk) 21:20, 15 December 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete per my WP:NOPAGE reasoning in the first AfD, which resulted in deletion. Being the "oldest x" is not notable either, and nothing substantive has changed with her lack of notability since the first AfD. Newshunter12 (talk) 07:07, 16 December 2020 (UTC)
 * Comment Pinging editors who participated in the first AfD less then five months ago (who haven't participated yet): @ DerbyCountyinNZ, @TFBCT1, @--Devokewater, @Lockley. Newshunter12 (talk) 07:07, 16 December 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete Typical longevity fanfluff. No substantial improvement over previously deleted article. Social media hits are no indication of actual notability. Nothing more than a minor local celebrity so far therefore fails GNG. DerbyCountyinNZ  (Talk Contribs) 07:32, 16 December 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete Prior stand alone articles for Gertrude Baines, Dina Manfredini, and Gertrude Weaver who were oldest Americans and world’s oldest people have all been deleted for lack of notability. Hester Ford is the 6th oldest living person and certainly has less notability then the aforementioned.TFBCT1 (talk) 21:53, 16 December 2020 (UTC)
 * Speedy Delete per G4 and only G4. No prejudice against recreation if she becomes oldest in the world, as the articles would no longer be "substantially identical." schetm (talk) 04:43, 17 December 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete but add back if she reaches 116 and makes it into the top 3 Currently Hester Ford is not even in the top 5 of oldest currently living people in the world and is only in the early part of being 115 still. My suggestion would be to take down Hester Ford for now, but then if she makes 116 and gets to where she is in the top 3 for oldest currently living person in the world add a new page for her provided some good, reliable sources come out about her giving good longevity oriented information.
