Another non-notable oldster. She lived, she died, and even with the attempts to puff this up it's still WP:NOPAGE; almost no sources, and none of any substance. I am explicitly arguing for deletion without a redirect, since she's far down on the list of American supercentenarians and it is highly unlikely someone will search for her name.

Delete This article fails WP:GNG and WP:BIO1E because there is only sparse 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 about her family and her moving history, with mundane record details tossed in to pad the article. She lived. She avoided the Reaper longer then most. She died. Pure WP:NOPAGE. Her age, life dates, and nationality are already recorded well down on the List of American supercentenarians, 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 (unless collecting elephant figurines is now an accepted notability criterion). Her age is notable, not her life or deeds. Hence her placement on the list of American supercentenarians among the 100 oldest American people ever is sufficient for recording notable facts in this encyclopedia. — JFG ^talk 09:32, 19 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Delete As it seems that she wasn't recognised as the oldest living American while she was alive, she didn't become notable in her extreme old age as some supercentenarians do. I can find almost no coverage of her. RebeccaGreen (talk) 14:00, 20 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
