Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Lucy Hannah
Fails  and , due to the lack of substantial coverage in reliable and independent sources. Lists and directory listings are insufficient. The "Gerontology Research Group" is listed as a ref, but I do not see Lucy Hannah in their list of supercentenarians http://www.grg.org/Adams/E.HTM. I also question satisfaction of  since the Social Security Death index reference attribute the info on her birth date to a "family member." Many extremely old people have exaggerated reports of their age, as stated by the US Census Bureau discussion of "false centenarians" http://www.census.gov/prod/99pubs/p23-199.pdf and by other authors http://www.demogr.mpg.de/books/odense/6/04.htm http://www.slate.com/id/2148550/ and I would like to see additional reliable sources who have done investigations to verify the claim. Census record searches often conflate the records of different individuals with the same or similar names. Birth records of Blacks in Alabama in the 1870's were pretty scant
