No independent notability established beyond her exceptional longevity. We have tables for this. — JFG talk 18:28, 30 October 2018 (UTC)

 * Delete This article fails WP:GNG and WP:BIO1E because there is only WP:ROUTINE coverage of her that fails to demonstrate notability and there is no notability guideline that "the oldest x" is notable. The content of the article is pretty much just trivia fluff about her family and the standard longevity secret. There is almost nothing actually said about her in an article that is supposed to be about her, which demonstrates how the article fails WP:NOPAGE. Her age, life dates, and nationality are already recorded on three different lists, where they are easier to view, so this permanent WP:PERMASTUB is not needed.

 * Delete or Redirect to appropriate list per WP:NOPAGE and WP:PERMASTUB. Article only tells us the bare basics of born, got married, had kids and died. Nothing of interest that isn't easily handled on a list somewhere. CommanderLinx (talk) 10:04, 3 November 2018 (UTC)
 * Redirect to List of British supercentenarians (with the history preserved under the redirect) in lieu of deletion. The nominator notes, "We have tables for this." I recommend that instead of deleting the article's history, we redirect the article to the person's place in the table by adding an anchor to the person's entry. It is useful to preserve the history so that any interested editors can merge content to List of British supercentenarians if they think the person deserves more than a mention in the table.

 * No objection to a merger. — JFG talk 11:40, 4 November 2018 (UTC)
