In this article, simply being the nth oldest person alive is not enough for it to be notable. Unless she becomes the oldest person alive, I don't see this article being notable. Interstellarity (talk) 19:32, 29 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. Meets WP:GNG with significant coverage in several reliable sources. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jaireeodell (talk • contribs) 20:46, 29 December 2023 (UTC) -- Signing because I forget to do that a lot. Jaireeodell (talk) 21:00, 29 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Again, Interstellarity, this nomination (like that for Elizabeth Francis) has been made without any reference to the relevant notability criteria. Were this Guinness World Records, "simply being the nth oldest person alive" might be insufficient to be listed. It's not. Here, the question is whether sources exist. They do. Examples: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6. --Usernameunique (talk) 21:11, 29 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Keep: Meets notability guidelines, as discussed above. Significa liberdade (she/her) (talk) 23:56, 29 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Even less notable than Elizabeth Francis. I seem to detect a note of America-centrism here: why not nos. 7 and 8? Do they not count because they aren't American? Athel cb (talk) 10:18, 30 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Correction. I see that No. 7 does have an article, so it's just No. 8, Okagi Hayashi, that is missing. Athel cb (talk) 10:36, 30 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I actually attempted to create articles for Hayashi as well, but unlike Francis and Berg, Hayashi does not seem to possess in-depth coverage beyond the organizaztions that certified her, as well as unreliable listicle articles that data dump stats from Wikipedia.

Keep Meets general notability guidelines of significant coverage in reliable sources. --Grnrchst (talk) 17:08, 31 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Weak Keep Nominator appears to have withdrawn looking at their comment on Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Elizabeth Francis I was otherwise going to say redirect and create a mini biography for now, I'm still skeptical on the sourcing and length but time should fix that.
