The article teaches us that Ms Karnebeek was born, got married, worked a farm, died at 110, and was posthumously recognized as the world's oldest known living person for about a year. This last fact is her only claim to notability, therefore her mention in the list of oldest people is enough coverage in Wikipedia. Delete and redirect there. — JFG ^talk 12:34, 13 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Delete and redirect per nom. Very little coverage of this subject, and what is there is very minimal; thus, per WP:NOPAGE, a redirect to an entry on oldest people makes the most sense. The Blade of the Northern Lights (話して下さい) 13:50, 13 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Delete and redirect This article clearly 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. It's also blatant WP:NOPAGE. All she needs is a redirect to her listing on oldest people. Newshunter12 (talk) 23:37, 13 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. Anyone who was ever world's oldest person should always be guaranteed an article. LE (talk) 18:14, 20 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Delete amd redirect. There is not even any proof he was the world's oldest person. No records exist for China, India, Russia, Africa etc born people so there is a very good chance he was not the oldest person. WP:NOPAGE applies here. Legacypac (talk) 22:45, 20 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

She, not he. And the lack of records elsewhere only points out the notable rarity of someone being that old, that early. LE (talk) 17:42, 21 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per nomination. In the most categorical and clear terms, Wikipedia is not here to offer all information about everything! Sources and wikinotability are what guides content. And we do not have truly verifiable sources for even this rather weak claim to one-of-a-kind fame. -The Gnome (talk) 13:09, 21 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
