Yeah, this has really become a fascinating article during this AfD. We now know that she was married, is white, and (not even mentioned in the article!) likes "chicken, salmon, coffee and cookies". Oh, and she sings hymns, almost forgot that. Yep, that really is the material we need to build an interesting article for this encyclopedia. No way all that important stuff would fit into a list. And don't forget that supercentenarians are ''studied'' by real ''scientists'' (never mind that the article on Stephen Coles only shows us some lists of oldest old people in a -rather fringy- journal). Am I being sarcastic? Yes, I'm afraid I am, but I think that many people participating in this discussion here are too much in a mood of seeing this as a race with somebody being the winner as opposed to serious encyclopedia-building. In addition, the only sources that we have up till now are, as  calls it, " minor news stories". Yes, they're in a |reliable source (''Tampa Bay Times''), but these are indeed decidedly minor stories, so whichever way you turn it, this does not meet
