message: Dr. Denmark is my great aunt (my father was Paul Daughtry - she was his aunt).  I know she just celebrated her 110th birthday and I hope she's still doing well. Ginger daughtry (talk) 21:40, 10 February 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Dr. Leila Denmark 

message: So che questo commento non è adatto per una pagina di discussione ma proprio non resistiamo a fare gli auguri alla dottoressa Denmark per il suo centoundicesimo compleanno. Se qualche suo parente dovesse leggere questo messaggio riferisca alla signora Denmark che in Italia è molto consciuta e amata e ha più fun di quello che crede!  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 79.56.194.60 (talk) 20:55, 1 February 2009 (UTC)

message: Exit 12 on GA-400 is named the Leila D. Denmark interchange. This is just one of many honors that could merit mention in the article.69.15.219.71 (talk) 22:33, 1 February 2012 (UTC)

message: This source includes the "pertussis vaccine" credit that Dr. Denmark claims for herself.

Subsequently, from 1933 to 1944 Denmark conducted research in the diagnosis, treatment, and immunization of whooping cough, which was fatal for many underprivileged babies. Her research at the charity clinic, assisted by Eli Lilly and Company and Emory University, resulted in the development of the pertussis vaccine, which is still used today.

thread_title: Useful Reliable Source

message: I would like to add the following sentence:
She is the only woman known independent of longevity to live to be 114.
But I feel someone will remove it. Any thoughts?? Georgia guy (talk) 19:55, 5 February 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: You could try it, combine with She is one of the rare supercentenarians known for reasons other than longevity. A source would be useful, but it is difficult to define what 'known' means. List of living centenarians uses the policy that having a wikipedia article is required, but that is still arbitrary. Gap9551 (talk) 20:09, 5 February 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: Please note that the term means at least 110, and that 110 is special merely because it ends in 0. Living to be 114 is rare even among people who live to be 110, so that statement really isn't as interesting as the one I want to add. Georgia guy (talk) 20:59, 5 February 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: Therefore I wrote, 'combine with'. Gap9551 (talk) 11:03, 6 February 2012 (UTC)

text: I don't think your sentence would add anything worthwhile to the article.  Let her other biographical details stand on their own merits in her article.  Fred Birchmore (talk) 07:03, 6 February 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: It's also poorly written as is. LadyofShalott 21:04, 7 February 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: It didn't make sense nor did it have a reference. Maybe try a rewrite here. --Mollskman (talk) 20:44, 13 April 2012 (UTC)

text: How can her biographical details show that she is the 'only' one? Gap9551 (talk) 18:48, 23 November 2015 (UTC)
