Yet another non-notable oldster. Nothing beyond routine coverage, all local papers and obituaries, leaving this a permastub with no suitable place for redirecting. The Blade of the Northern Lights ( 話して下さい ) 20:59, 24 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 on how she relates to other peoples longevity milestones or longevity milestones for various arbitrary categories, with some fluff about her work history and her taste in sports. There is almost nothing actually said about her in an article that is supposed to be about her. Her age, life dates, and nationality are already recorded on four different lists, where they are easier to view, so this permanent WP:PERMASTUB is not needed.

 * Delete – This person got older than most, good for her, we have tables to record this, where readers can sort and compare at will. The rest of her biography is eminently non-notable. — JFG talk 03:02, 26 October 2018 (UTC)
 * Delete seriously some unrelated 113 year old guy was ALSO a Red Socks fan? Junk that gets added when we know very little able the subject and want to pad the article out. Legacypac (talk) 09:10, 29 October 2018 (UTC)
