- Keep Credible claim of notability based on age -- as one of almost 100 people included in Category:American supercentenarians -- and status as state's oldest resident, backed by reliable and verifiable sources. Alansohn (talk) 04:10, 10 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep She is notable due to being a super centenarian being born, and to have died in New Jersey. Historically, it's rare for New Jersey. Also, this achievement is done by only 1 in 80 million people. There are several scientific groups and clubs dedicated to following and studying this noteworthy accomplishment. jjrj24 (talk) 08:15, 10 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete Long-standing precedent has been that simply being old does not satisfy notability guidelines, nor does being the oldest person in a city/state/country (the most recent examples being WP:N. There's nothing here except a fact (which can be stated on one of the many supercentenarian lists on Wikipedia) and a lot of trivial, unencyclopedic information.

- Redirect - Long-standing precedent is actually that indentifiably discreet search terms of topics which Wikipedia has coverage of are redirected to the list articles where such coverage exists, even if such were John Smith (supercentenarian); this would make the articles restorable with one revert edit if they were actually to take a primary rather than secondary position, and should have been the result of the other recent AfDs; agreed that they currently do not meet the threshold guidelines for stand-alone biographies.
