[edit] Annie Jennings

Unreferebced short stub on a superecentenarian, containing nothing which could not be included in a 1-line list entry. Had been merged by me ([1], [2]) to the List of British supercentenarians, but restored[3] without comment and without improvement. There is problem at all with having articles on extremely old people if they meet WP:BIO (see e.g. Katherine Plunket or Jerzy Pajaczkowski-Dydynski), longevity is no justification for recreating unreferenced stubs which say nothing more can be conveyed in a list entry and for whom notability is not established. --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 01:07, 27 November 2007 (UTC)

  • Delete as failing WP:BIO, nothing notable about her. I've got a great-great-aunt who's a supercentennerian; that alone doesn't make her notable outside my family. Ten Pound Hammer • (Broken clamshells•Otter chirps) 01:13, 27 November 2007 (UTC)
    • Is your great-great-aunt who's a supercentenarian on the GRG.org page? If not, they would be interested in adding her. Neal (talk) 17:43, 27 November 2007 (UTC).
    • Indeed, what is her name? ''[[User:Kitia|Kitia]]'' (talk) 01:14, 28 November 2007 (UTC)
  • Weak Keep Being the oldest person in the UK for two years seems to lend some notability. --DAJF (talk) 01:40, 27 November 2007 (UTC)
  • Merge: Again, and redirect. No need for a separate article. - Rjd0060 (talk) 01:44, 27 November 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete lack of achievements, other than being old, means this article is destined to remain a stub forever. Ohconfucius (talk) 04:04, 27 November 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep and improve. Again, it's a game of who wants to Google it (the references). I think she (the 2nd oldest person in the world) is as notable as the 2nd tallest person in the world, etc. I note that these past AfDs in my contribs are a result of finding articles with no references.

  • Keep Being age 115 is notable in itself because even the current oldest person, Edna Parker, has not reached that age. Also, she as some info on her. ''[[User:Kitia|Kitia]]'' (talk) 01:14, 28 November 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep A good many of the supercentenarian articles deleted lately very much deserved to be deleted, but some should remain--such as this one. I note that WP:STUB does not prohibit articles which will remain short but cover the topic properly.DGG (talk) 11:20, 29 November 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep per the sound reasoning provided by Neal, DGG, and others. RFerreira 07:23, 2 December 2007 (UTC)
