No evidence that this is a notable supercentarian. I can't see slick.org but I don't think it's a reliable source. The single source here called her the oldest American but according to the text here (unsourced but repeated here), she was never the oldest American. She was just the oldest person in Indiana and I don't think someone who was mistakenly the oldest American or was just the oldest person in each state (including historical ones) is sufficient for notability as its own article.

Keep Sounds like a lovely woman. 166.170.50.131 (talk) 10:36, 25 August 2015 (UTC) — 166.170.50.131 (talk) has made few or no other edits outside this topic. Block evasion by known abusive IP. Fut.Perf. ☼ 12:15, 25 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Whether or not she was a lovely woman is really far from the point here. Even if she were at some point the oldest person in the US, that is not in my eyes an accomplishment that makes somebody inherently notable. Notability aside though, there seems to be absolutely nothing interesting that we can tell about this woman, so at best, this could be an entry in some list of old people. --Randykitty (talk) 10:46, 25 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Delete or Merge Given that, in retrospect, she was not the oldest living American, I don't think she is sufficiently notable for her own article. However, a mini biography could be created at List of supercentenarians from the United States along with the others which exist. -- Ollie231213 (talk) 23:24, 25 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per nom. There isn't enough here for a separate biography; the fact that she was thought to be the oldest American and that this was found to be untrue can be included as a footnote to her name in a list. Ca2james (talk) 15:50, 30 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per nom. Does not pass WP:GNG and WP:NOPAGE discourages the creation of a permanent stub when alternatives exist. The relevant information is already included at List of supercentenarians from the United States. ~ Rob^Talk 02:27, 31 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Delete No evidence of meeting WP:N's requirement of non-trivial coverage in multiple, reliable third-party sources. Canadian Paul 17:27, 1 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
