Deletion of Janetta Thomas

Comment: I could find only a single article about her, namely a Reuters report about her death in 1982 http://news.google.com/archivesearch?&as_src=-newswire+-wire+-presswire+-PR+-release+-wikipedia&q=%22Janetta+Thomas%22 which was reprinted in a few papers. To me that is . As I have argued above, simply being the oldest person in a given country does not grant automatic notability. The usual Wikipedia guidelines for |sourcing must be met, on a case-by-case basis, and they are not met for this person based on what I found

Comment: There are, sort of, three "sources" here. One is from Gerontology Research Group web pages. There's some controversy about whether GRG pages are simply not |reliable, whether they are biased against non-western centenarians or whether they are primary sources, prohibited for citation by . Whichever way one goes, they cannot be the sole source for an article. The second is a footnote referencing the Guardian, a reliable source. But it sources practically no facts and cannot be verified because no link is provided. The final "source" is described in the text as a photo that ran in the Times on the subject's birthday. The Times is a fine newspaper and a reliable source. But there's no link here either. Information might be from an accompanying article, but it could also be from a cut line or extended caption. Such captioning is much less reliable than an article. Without more, this slender reed is not enough to serve as foundation for an article on Wikipedia

Comment: It would seem to me that age itself is not enough to pass  and with nothing else to support it, when she passes she would no longer be the longest living. Agree with a merge in the List of British supercentenarians
