Iowa's oldest person for six months, and "the Guinness recordholder for the oldest person to ride in a hot air balloon". Long article packed with pedestrian life details ('One time she had lunch with the Salvation Army. "I like that, they're friendly," Carroll said.'), two routine sources other than primaries, and so on. EEng ( talk) 05:53, 12 November 2015 (UTC)

Oldest to ride in a hot air balloon is notable and needs a succession box. Who did they take the title from and who is next? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 166.171.123.205 ( talk) 20:43, 12 November 2015 (UTC)
- Delete - A church newsletter and a local rag with only a couple of paragraphs (can't access the link on one though, although a bit of searching found an obituary which I think is what is linkedin the Ottumwa Courier that was only slightly longer and mainly contained lists of survivors and predecessors [1]). Lots of mundane information used to pad out the article, but nothing here that even slightly confers notability beyond being old. AIRcorn (talk) 21:51, 12 November 2015 (UTC)
- Delete As suggested above, the current sources are insufficient to satisfy WP:N and I could not locate others that would be sufficient. Canadian Paul 01:26, 13 November 2015 (UTC)
- Delete - Oldest person in Iowa? Oldest person to ride in a hot-air balloon? Seriously? No significant coverage in multiple, independent, reliable sources? Delete. Dirtlawyer1 ( talk) 16:48, 14 November 2015 (UTC)
- Delete. I can't see how being the 10th oldest person in the USA for a while is notable. Do we need bios on the 10th heaviest or 10th tallest? Legacypac ( talk) 04:52, 18 November 2015 (UTC)
