Maudie Wilson

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

No independent notability established beyond her exceptional longevity. We have tables for this. Also, in reference to the artilce stating She was succeeded as New Zealand's oldest person by 109-year-old Peg Griffin. "oldest person in country X" is not a position or title with predecessors and successors, it's just random trivia. — JFG talk 00:14, 21 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 just standard obituary info (born, married, had kids, spouse died, she died, number of offspring). Wikipedia is not a WP:MEMORIAL, which is what this article is acting as. There is almost nothing actually said about her in an article that is supposed to be about her because she was not notable. Her age, life dates, and nationality are already recorded on the List of supercentenarians by continent, where they are easier to view, so this permanent WP:PERMASTUB is not needed.

 * Delete - Non-notable supercentenarian. Fails WP:GNG, a GRG table that doesn't mention her and three routine obituaries that only tell us the bare life basics (born, got married, had kids, died) does not make someone notable. WP:NOPAGE and WP:PERMASTUB apply here too. CommanderLinx (talk) 06:11, 21 October 2018 (UTC)
 * Delete agree with all three delete votes above, nothing new to add. SportingFlyer  talk  02:21, 23 October 2018 (UTC)
