I think she meets WP:BIO. simply being 2nd oldest in UK doesn't guarantee automatic notability. nor does she really get much coverage for it [http://news.google.com/archivesearch?q=%22Annie+Butler%22+%22second+oldest%22&num=10&hl=en&scoring=a]. LibStar (talk) 07:31, 4 May 2011 (UTC)

  • Delete, agree, lack of sources for notability --Whiteguru (talk) 10:17, 4 May 2011 (UTC)
  • Delete. With the sources that are there now, notability has not been proven. Redirect to List of supercentenarians, maybe. Crisco 1492 (talk) 12:44, 4 May 2011 (UTC)
  • Keep. Not much coverage is found in Whiteguru's search because it is made too restrictive by adding "second oldest". Here are multiple reliable sources that can be used to fill the article out: [http://www.leamingtoncourier.co.uk/news/local/features/annie_celebrates_her_105th_birthday_1_1049135] [http://www.leamingtoncourier.co.uk/news/local/features/woman_celebrates_110th_birthday_1_1048380] [http://www.leamingtoncourier.co.uk/news/local/features/amazing_annie_is_111_1_1058580] [http://www.leamingtoncourier.co.uk/news/local/features/britain_s_second_oldest_woman_annie_butler_dies_aged_112_1_1065310] SiameseTurtle (talk) 17:19, 4 May 2011 (UTC)

:: the sources are all one regional newspaper, there has been no widespread coverage of this in multiple sources. LibStar (talk) 00:55, 5 May 2011 (UTC)

: is this a serious argument? LibStar (talk) 05:28, 11 May 2011 (UTC)

  • I can see coverage in two sources (the Warwick Courier and the Leamington Courier). I agree that she wasn't exactly the most notable person in the world, but it's not a clear-cut "delete" either and there isn't a pressing reason for deletion, so given that there are good faith users who want to keep this material, let's err on the side of keep. Crisco 1492's alternative of a redirect to the list of supercentenarians also strikes me as an acceptable option.—S Marshall T/C 11:25, 11 May 2011 (UTC)
  • Delete or Merge salvageable content (such as the quote about clean living, perhaps?) to a relevant article about supercentenarians/aging/elderly people etc. Otherwise, the subjects lsiting at List of British supercentenarians seems sufficient. LordVetinari (talk) 04:35, 16 May 2011 (UTC)
