Article on a very old French woman, for whom the only avaialble ref in a remotely reliable source is one line in a list. I tried a Google search, but found no reliable sources; and even though she died in 2005, Google news gave me no hits at all. So far as I can see, most of the contents of the article are original research by members of the Worlds Oldest People yahoogroup; if timmed back to verifiable material, this article would amount to no more than year of death and age at death. She is already listed in National longevity recordholders, Oldest people, List of the oldest people, which is quite sufficient when so little verifiable material is available. Unless substantial coverage can be found in reliable sources, this article should be deleted. Wikipedia is not a vehicle for researchers to publish their original research. --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 23:02, 11 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

- Delete per nom, plus, even if true, there have to be limits as to how many people get Wikipedia articles just because they got to be "really old" but did nothing else. Things are a bit too inclusionary on that front right now. --Legis (talk - contribs) 13:05, 12 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete Just getting old does not satisfy WP:BIO. The references, which are mere directory listings, are not the substantial coverage required to show notability per WP:N. Inclusion in a list is sufficient. Edison (talk) 17:33, 12 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
