The subject's claim to notability here is that she happens to currently be the oldest living person who was born in 1901. A search discovered no evidence that she meets WP:N's non-trivial coverage in multiple, third-party sources: I found one article on her 111th birthday and then a handful of trivial mentions on lists of the world's oldest this and that. As of this nomination, the article is nothing more than a collection of (mostly unsourced) trivia about her longevity. Canadian  Paul  15:19, 16 May 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete Nothing significant about her; she's the 3rd-oldest person in the UK. --Colapeninsula (talk) 17:04, 16 May 2012 (UTC)

 * Delete - and after she dies, someone else will be the oldest person born in the 20th century. Not seeing any notability here. If she makes it to the oldest person in the UK, then perhaps that might provide a stronger claim to notability, but not automatically so. Robofish (talk) 22:12, 16 May 2012 (UTC)

 * Delete. I agree that there's no indication of notability (yet). HighBeam Research has one passing mention in a 2010 piece in Lynn News (another local paper) about Florence Green. Sorry, Irene! —S MALL  JIM   21:07, 30 May 2012 (UTC)
 * Redirect to List of British supercentenarians per WP:BLP1E. Additional ref at . -- Trevj (talk) 04:47, 31 May 2012 (UTC)
 * Redirect to List of British supercentenarians. Almost closed this as redirect myself, but that'd be probably be supervoting. Anyway, worth a redirect because she does have some coverage in independent reliable sources and is, in my book, therefore a plausible search term. Jenks24 (talk) 06:22, 31 May 2012 (UTC)
 * Redirect per Jenks24, including his comment about almost closing the nomination. She may be notable ... in about 5 years. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 09:51, 31 May 2012 (UTC)
