Previously deleted via PROD, but later recreated. Does not seem to pass WP:N, which requires multiple, non-trivial coverage of this individual. Of the Ghits, none contain any substantial coverage of or information on the subject of the article; they are all lists of where she ranks among the world's oldest and none of them go into any depth about her as an individual. Thus it has little potential for expansion and contains no information aside from what is present in the various supercentenarian lists. My basic problem with this article is that there is little, if any, information out there that could be added to this article aside from what is already present on these lists. For those worried that the Google test is not sufficient, I performed searches at the University of Texas Libraries Catalog (which covers several voluminous libraries), jstor.org (which covers journal articles back to the 1800s and may have had information on her if she was significant from an academic standpoint) and news archives with no results. It is possible that there are Japanese sources, but articles should not be kept (or created) on theoretical sources that may not even exist. Cheers, CP 17:04, 22 May 2009 (UTC)

 * Delete and redirect to List of the verified oldest people. Unlike others on that list, there are no sources describing her. All we can verify is her birth and death dates, which is not enough for an article. I looked and could only find her mentioned in lists. Fences and windows (talk) 18:12, 22 May 2009 (UTC)
