Katie McMenamin

 * – ( View AfD View log ) •

A declined speedy and an aborted AFD nom by NickOrnstein both read, "McMenamin is NOT the oldest living resident in Ireland. The oldest is Kathleen Murray, born in 1902, followed by Stasia Kealy, born in 1903, Paddy Gleeson, born in 1904, and another case unknown. The general reason is she is not the oldest living Irish person." I add that Nick has access to sources like the Gerontology Research Group to back up this statement, which combined with not yet being a supercentenarian pretty much gives the lie to notability.

deleteThere are three people older than her living in Ireland, and the oldest person living there doesnt have an article, so it seems odd for her to have an article when the oldest person living there doesnt. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Longevitydude (talk • contribs) 14:43, 25 October 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete The closest this article comes to even an assertion of notability is two sources for the proposition that "Katie McMenamin is described as "probably Ireland's oldest living person". "is described as"? "probably"? C'mon.David in DC (talk) 20:55, 28 October 2010 (UTC)
