The result was redirect to List of British supercentenarians. Fails notability guidelines, but redirected as suggested because there was no reason (in policy) not to do so. Xymmax So let it be written   So let it be done  04:27, 11 November 2018 (UTC)

No independent notability established beyond her exceptional longevity. We have tables for this. — JFG talk 18:16, 30 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 fluff about her and the standard longevity advice. 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 the List of British supercentenarians, where they are easier to view, so this permanent WP:PERMASTUB is not needed.

 * Redirect to List of British supercentenarians (with the history preserved under the redirect) in lieu of deletion. The nominator notes, "We have tables for this." I recommend that instead of deleting the article's history, we redirect the article to the person's place in the table by adding an anchor to the person's entry. It is useful to preserve the history so that any interested editors can merge content to List of British supercentenarians if they think the person deserves more than a mention in the table.

 * Delete -Fails WP:GNG as every source is from Kent which is local coverage as she was born and lived in the area. Even if these local articles made her "notable", this is a WP:PERMASTUB that has no hope of expanding beyond 7 fluffy and strained trivial sentences about her. One sentence is the unrelated ages of her sisters and another is her successor. So WP:NOPAGE definitely applies here too. CommanderLinx (talk) 06:21, 5 November 2018 (UTC)
