Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Jadwiga Szubartowicz
Unless there is some additional evidence of notability, independent of age, then I do not consider this article to meet . There are at least 193 countries in the world, all of which have an oldest living citizen and an oldest ever citizen (in most cases a different person), so you're already looking at around 400 articles minimum. Each time one of the first group dies there is a new person immediately becomes the oldest living - on average probably that's one per country every 1-2 years - an additional ~100 articles per year.  Because life expectancy for men is lower, you can double the previous figures - now we're at about 800 articles, growing by about 200 per year. At this point we haven't even considered dual citizenships, territorial changes, people moving and people who were the oldest living at some previous point but who died before an article was created. For example, the oldest person born in what is now Poland, August Holtz, was born in the German Empire and died in the USA aged 115 in 1986. Jadwiga Szubartowicz wasn't even the oldest living Polish-born person - that is Yisrael Kristal (age 113) who is living in Israel. Being the oldest person who was born in a country and died in the same country or being, at some point, the oldest person born in a country who is still living in that country (based on various possible definitions of what constitutes the same country in many cases - there are almost no countries whose borders and political status have remained unchanged for 100-120 years) are not, to my mind at least, claims that demonstrate notability for the purposes of an international non-specialist encyclopaedia
