 * The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review).  No further edits should be made to this page.

The result was   redirect to List of living supercentenarians. Content can be pulled form the page history and merged. The argument that she may some day be more notable was not considered as this cannot be verified and is speculation. Beeblebrox (talk) 18:17, 30 March 2010 (UTC)

This page was ProD by User:Chzz and removed, so I'm bringing it to AfD for consenus... Chzz stated, "After searching, I cannot find any reliable sources to verify any of the information (per WP:BLP, WP:BIO). All I could find was a 1-line entry at grg.org, and a blog entry on wbtv. I can find no mention in any news articles."  D u s t i SPEAK!! 23:33, 22 March 2010 (UTC)


 * Note to anyone thinking of closing this AfD. The tag on the article page was removed with this edit and I've only just re-added it (with this edit) just over two days later.  Therefore this discussion probably needs to be extended by a couple of days. Dpmuk (talk) 23:06, 28 March 2010 (UTC)

 * Comment I have tagged this article for rescue. Silver  seren C 04:07, 23 March 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep I have expanded the article and put the sources in. I believe it is good enough to pass notability standards. Silver  seren C 04:07, 23 March 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete Extremely limited claim to notability (being a supercentenarian). Not only have there been thousands of supercentenarians (most of whom do not have articles) but she is also neither the oldest person in a country nor in the top 100 of all-time which (which seem to be more substantial claims to notability).

 * Keep there i posted my vote, and the afd statistics better count my vote. Longevitydude (talk) 14:42, 23 March 2010 (UTC)

i know shes not the oldest in her state, but she still gets attention, can we at least wait for her to die before deletion, while shes alive she has a chance of being the oldest someday. Longevitydude (talk) 15:03, 23 March 2010 (UTC)

superhappyperson was right the first time, she IS notable, she DOES meet qualifications for notability. Longevitydude (talk) 16:12, 28 March 2010 (UTC)


 * Delete Redirect to List of living supercentenarians. Although she gets some news coverage due to her age I don't think this is enough to meet our notability requirements and isn't within the spirit of WP:BLP1E, although there may be several events (e.g. her birthday each year) they're still all related to one thing.  Would also support a redirect to a "List of American supercentenarians" (similar to List of British supercentenarians) should someone create one.  This would be my prefered option as then some biographical information would be kept.  23:06, 28 March 2010 (UTC) (Changed: Dpmuk (talk) 08:31, 29 March 2010 (UTC))


 * Look, we can at least leave it up until she dies, she might live long enough to be the oldest person in Tennessee, then America, then the world, we must not delete an article on someone who could become more notable someday. Longevitydude (talk) 23:59, 28 March 2010 (UTC)


 * If that were to occur it would be easy to restore the deleted article and, especially in the case of oldest in the world or in America, any admin would likely do this for you simply by asking them. It would also be acceptable to just recreate an article should such an events occur as circumstances would have changed enough to make this AfD invalid. Dpmuk (talk) 08:31, 29 March 2010 (UTC)

 * Comment: This article should have been "merged" to List of American supercentenarians, not redirected to the less-appropriate List of living supercentenarians which is only used for list-format information, not biographical information. Ryoung 122 03:43, 9 August 2010 (UTC)
