In the previous deletion discussion, people have discussed that she is known for her longevity. I think that there isn't anything special about this particular individual that makes her longevity unique. Interstellarity (talk) 21:28, 2 May 2022 (UTC)

 * Delete. From a longevity point of view she is less notable than Gertrude Weaver whose article was deleted with a redirect but no mini-bio. Assuming WP:BIO1E trumps WP:GNG then the one event was "oldest living person" (which only applied for 2 months), and is insufficient to maintain a separate article. Redirect only if it is agreed she is worthy of a mini-bio at List of American supercentenarians. DerbyCountyinNZ  (Talk Contribs) 03:29, 3 May 2022 (UTC)
 * Merge into List of American supercentenarians (create a mini-bio on it) . There have been a number of examples of "merge" results in AfD so far, and this time it should be done as "merge" rather than completely delete. As a once WOP titleholder, this person is more prominent than anyone else who merged into "List of American supercentenarians" (like Barnice Madigan and Bettie Wilson). I personally like these articles, but I know English-version Wikipedia's standards in recent years seem to be strict so I will not vote for "keep".
 * If a lesser-notability person like Bettie Wilson (only world's 3rd oldest person at the death) is allowed to survive as a mini-bio in "List of American supercentenarians" page, then Jeralean Talley, clearly much notable than Bettie Wilson, is should at least survive as a mini-bio. Also, from my point of view, the Gertrude Weaver case should also have been merged into "List of American supercentenarians" rather than completely deleted, but the result was completely delete.--Ayuta Tonomura (talk) 13:41, 3 May 2022 (UTC)
 * Alternatively: Bettie Wilson is even less notable than Talley and her mini-bio should be removed. DerbyCountyinNZ  (Talk Contribs) 01:10, 6 May 2022 (UTC)
 *  Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Keep It looks like she was discussed in depth in several sources. I'm not sure about the previous deletion discussion, as the nom mentioned, but in my opinion, being the oldest living person on the entire planet, is very notable. More notable than professional sports stars who have wiki articles .  DerbyCountyinNZ's point about Gertrude Weaver is a good one and I think that policy should be re examined and perhaps Gertrude Weaver should be nominated again.

 * Keep Change my mind. She died in 5 years+ ago so sourcing will more difficult, but no reason to this page. Many reasons...one of reason is considering that the content is very long, merging is not suitable and keeping is reasonable. The key here is being validated as the oldest person in the world out of 7 billion people at a point and there are sufficient sources that verifies this. --Ayuta Tonomura (talk) 16:16, 10 May 2022 (UTC)
 * Comment I mean she was old, the article doesn't tell much about her other than straight, to the point facts. She got a letter from Obama, lovely. How many others got one? Not seeing notability from what's used as sources. Oaktree b (talk) 18:19, 10 May 2022 (UTC)
