No evidence of the type of sustained coverage that would meet the guidelines at WP:N; most of what is here and findable online is routine coverage following a brief burst of interest in her extreme age and subsequent death. There's no Wikipedia policy or consensus that states that the oldest anything is automatically notable by the encyclopedia's standards; numerous AfDs on the "oldest" individuals have been kept or deleted based on their individual merits. Thus we default to the general notability guidelines and any material of encyclopedic merit can be included on the many longevity-related lists on Wikipedia.

 * Delete nothing notable about this person according to article. and, it's factually inaccurate. a simple google search shows that Augusta Holtz was the oldest person ever from Germany who died in the USA at 115 years of age in 1986. lastly, the oldest person to ever be born and die in Germany is Maria Laqua who died at 112 years of age.

 * Delete 'Lina said about King William II of Württemberg that he was a nice person because when you saw him on the street and greeted him he greeted back.' -- who writes this stuff? Sources lacking.  E Eng  10:08, 13 November 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete Per WP:NOPAGE, the guidelines at WP:WOP and failure of WP:GNG. The routine obituary and birthday articles tell us nothing of interest outside the bare basics that is easily covered on a list of. CommanderLinx (talk) 11:16, 13 November 2016 (UTC)
