No independent notability established beyond her exceptional longevity. We have tables for this. Apparently she met a few famous people in her youth, but notability is not inherited. — JFG ^talk 18:20, 30 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

• 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 famous people she had met and her family. 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 two different lists, where they are easier to view, so this permanent WP:PERMASTUB is not needed.

• Redirect to List of British supercentenarians#Gladys Hooper (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#Biographies if they think the person deserves more than a mention in the table.

• Redirect per Cunard and WP:ATD. Thryduulf (talk) 12:49, 14 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete or redirect to appropriate list, WP:NOPAGE. "Hooper went to college with aviator Amy Johnson, the first woman to fly solo from England to Australia" pretty much sums it up. EEng 22:38, 18 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep She did become notable during the last years of her life, and there is significant coverage in reliable sources in the UK and other countries when she became the UK's oldest person, when she had a hip replacement at the age of 112, and when she died. I expect that this article will get deleted as part of the ongoing campaign to remove all supercentenarians whether notable or not, so I would second Cunard's suggestion to redirect to her place in the table of supercentenarians with an anchor to the entry.

• Delete and redirect per the nomination and EEng. Straightforward case WP:NOPAGE, all routine coverage. The Blade of the Northern Lights (話して下さい) 04:38, 21 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
