No independent notability besides this person's reaching an advanced age. Her entries on the List of the verified oldest women and List of Portuguese supercentenarians are sufficient. — JFG ^talk 16:28, 20 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Keep, any world's oldest person should always be guaranteed an article. LE (talk) 17:57, 20 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

There is no notability policy or guideline that the "oldest x" is notable or entitled to an article. Newshunter12 (talk) 03:13, 24 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete not dying does not make someone notable. WP:NOPAGE applies. Delete to discourage recreation then create a redirect to the appropriate list. Legacypac (talk) 21:29, 20 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Not dying for an incredible amount of time does make someone notable and creation of articles on every world's-oldest should be encouraged. LE (talk) 17:44, 21 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you, LE, for plainly showing that your opinion in this AFD is pure WP:ILIKEIT and can be disregarded by the closer since it's not rooted in any policy or guideline. Newshunter12 (talk) 03:13, 24 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete This article blatantly fails WP:GNG, WP:BIO1E, and WP:NOPAGE. There is no policy that the "oldest x" is notable and this article is packed with longevity fancruft like she only visited a hospital once, had a child born on Christmas and her taste in food. Her name, life dates, and nationality are best handled on the six lists they already reside on. This WP:PERMASTUB is not needed. Newshunter12 (talk) 03:13, 24 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete Unlike those campaigning against articles about supercentenarians copying their "reasons" from one page to another, I am voting delete in this case because I find very little coverage of this individual. Some on her 115th birthday, but not (as far as I can see), sustained over more than just a few months, not in-depth, and no evidence of participation in books or documentaries or other activities that would indicate that she became widely known.
