No independent notability besides this person's reaching an advanced age. Her entries on the List of the verified oldest women and List of Japanese supercentenarians are sufficient. — JFG ^talk 16:26, 20 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Keep, any world's oldest person should always be guaranteed an article. LE (talk) 17:58, 20 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

There is no policy or guideline that the "oldest x" is notable or entitled to an article. Newshunter12 (talk) 03:02, 24 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete -- concur with @Legacypac's comments regarding another (similar) AFD, to wit "not dying does not make someone notable. WP:NOPAGE applies." Quis separabit? 22:34, 20 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete per my reasoning on the other page. Legacypac (talk) 22:39, 20 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 was a single mother to five kids, liked to dance in her wheelchair to music, and a breakdown of who succeeded who for what title. Her name, life dates, and nationality are best handled on the four lists they already reside on. This WP:PERMASTUB is not needed. Newshunter12 (talk) 03:02, 24 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete I find very little coverage of her. A little on her 114th birthday, some when she became the oldest person in the world, and then of course when she died - and that little is all within the space of a few months. So while she might possibly be considered to meet WP:GNG, she does not meet WP:SUSTAINED (at least when searching on her name in Roman script; there may well be more in Japanese).
