Non-notable supercentenarian. The dispute over her living arrangements is a clear case of WP:BIO1E, and the rest is about how she lived, she got old, she died. Maybe worth a minibio somewhere, but certainly not a full page. The Blade of the Northern Lights (話して下さい) 16:16, 18 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per WP:NOPAGE. Best recorded on a list because nothing else of any import is known. Legacypac (talk) 17:56, 18 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Delete This article fails WP:GNG and WP:BIO1E because there is only sparse WP:ROUTINE local 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 routine trivia fancruft. She lived. She avoided the Reaper longer then most. She died. Pure WP:NOPAGE. 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 – The only coverage this person received was because of her reaching an advanced age. Her age is notable, not her life or deeds. Hence her placement among the oldest Oceanian people ever is sufficient for recording notable facts in this encyclopedia. — JFG ^talk 09:55, 19 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Delete being the 11th-oldest in the world has more to do with the lack of strong documentary records in some areas than anything else.John Pack Lambert (talk) 04:04, 20 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Delete for the nature of the coverage and lack of anything substantial. JC7V (talk) 01:13, 24 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
