Since there is no policy that says that the oldest person in Japan or the fourth-oldest in the world is automatically notable, this article fails WP:N's requirement of non-trivial coverage in multiple, independent third-party sources. All three sources on the page are nothing more than trivial mentions of the individual and, considering that she was anonymous up until a few days ago, it's highly unlikely that the necessary sources exist to satisfy the requirements in either Japanese or English (and I couldn't find any). Normally I might suggest merging, but there's nothing encyclopedic here that isn't available already at Oldest people or any other related longevity lists. The only real information is her name and birth date, the rest is just trivia. Canadian Paul 18:41, 15 September 2012 (UTC) reply
