This person's only claim to notability was her advanced age, which itself has been disputed. She no longer appears on our List of Japanese supercentenarians, and if she was re-instated with her 1891 date of birth, she would only rank 99th of the oldest Japanese people ever. WP:NOPAGE applies. — JFG ^talk 13:18, 27 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Delete The 1891 date of birth is unsourced so there isn't a suitable redirect. Fails WP:GNG, two obituaries and a GRG table does not make someone notable. Even if "notable" there is nothing to say about her other than she was born, her age is disputed and then she died. I can't find any source about her being a local celebrity and having merchandise either... CommanderLinx (talk) 01:01, 28 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Delete This article fails WP:GNG, WP:BIO1E, and WP:NOPAGE. There is no policy that a former claimant to be an "oldest x" is notable and even if she was notable, there is nothing to say about her. I explicitly oppose redirecting this page, since it would not be about building the encyclopedia, but as a fancruft shrine to a long ago age claim debunking.

Delete evidently her own family did not believe her claimed birthday. Why do we have this page? Legacypac (talk) 08:22, 3 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
