This was listed before for deletion in September 2012 with a consensus to merge. It was ignored repeatedly [1][2][3] then protected and restarted, restarted, restarted, restarted and restarted. The issue at the prior discussion was not solely that she wasn't even the world's oldest woman (she was then the oldest woman in Asia, it was that there was nothing about her other than her name and birth date. Now that she has been determined to have been the world's oldest woman, that's still a WP:BLP1E issue and the contents should again be merged to the Japanese supercentarian article and hopefully not just deleted outright. I don't think there's a consensus that having being the oldest women ever at any given time is sufficient notability for an article so I want to see where we should go with Template:Oldest people.

• Keep. She was the world's oldest woman for a month, and this is part of the history of longevity. Georgia guy (talk) 23:00, 19 August 2015 (UTC)
• Keep no-brainer, almost all of the top 40 names in List of the verified oldest people have articles and I doubt many of them are notable for anything other than their longevity. @Ricky81682: please consider withdrawing this AFD so it can be speedy-closed as keep. davidwr/(talk)/(contribs) 02:24, 20 August 2015 (UTC)

• Keep and ban OP from further disruption. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 166.170.48.75 (talk) 02:55, 20 August 2015 (UTC)

• Merge to List of Japanese supercentenarians. Sources tell us almost nothing of interest that isn't already available there. Remove the unsourced statements and you're pretty much just left with a name, age and country and a statement that she was the oldest woman for a month. What little bio information that can be salvaged can go in the people section unless more information comes up. CommanderLinx (talk) 03:27, 20 August 2015 (UTC)
