The result was delete and redirect to List of Japanese supercentenarians. Curiously enough, I am closing the AfD again. However, this time it seems that the consensus is clear. Tone 17:14, 19 November 2018 (UTC)

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

No independent notability besides her exceptional longevity. This person's entry in the list of Japanese supercentenarians is enough, per WP:NOPAGE. I performed a redirect on 8 November but it was reverted on 9 November, thus I'm seeking consensus to re-instate the redirect. Many similar articles about non-notable people who lived over 110 years were recently merged or deleted. — JFG talk 04:00, 12 November 2018 (UTC)

 * Delete. A bunch of random stats about managing to ward off the reaper for an unusually long time is not evidence of notability. As per usual, WP:NOPAGE. The Blade of the Northern Lights ( 話して下さい ) 04:28, 12 November 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 fluff about her family and health. There is almost nothing actually said about her in an article that is supposed to be about her, which demonstrates how the article fails WP:NOPAGE. Her age, life dates, and nationality are already recorded on three different lists, where they are easier to view, so this permanent WP:PERMASTUB is not needed.

 * Keep. She was in the top 5 oldest verified people ever at the time of her death and she held the title of "oldest verified Japanese person ever" for about 20 years before she was finally surpassed. She is certainly notable. RightGot (talk) 16:33, 13 November 2018 (UTC)
 * This is not a tournament to see who can maintain a pulse the longest. Where are the sources besides the thoroughly routine coverage already present? The Blade of the Northern Lights ( 話して下さい ) 22:12, 13 November 2018 (UTC)
