This person fails to meet the requirements at WP:N with significant coverage in reliable sources. There is nothing to merge as this article contains no information outside the tables at List of Japanese supercentenarians. Per WP:NOPAGE, the failure of WP:GNG and the guidelines at the WP:WOP, this person belongs on a list not a standalone article. CommanderLinx ( talk) 03:47, 11 June 2016 (UTC) reply

• Delete Redirect to List of Japanese supercentenarians per WP:BLP1E. The only non-trivial coverage I could find only referred to her in the context of one event— her death. Chickadee46 ( talk) 23:36, 11 June 2016 (UTC) reply
• Delete Redirect to List of Japanese supercentenarians per CommanderLinx and probably qualifies for a speedy delete as a creation by block evading sock, User:104.56.23.57. Voceditenore ( talk) 13:11, 12 June 2016 (UTC) reply

I've changed my recommendation to redirect, given that there is a target, and that this so-called "article" pre-dated the target. Voceditenore ( talk) 15:31, 16 June 2016 (UTC) reply

• Redirect to List of Japanese supercentenarians, we never delete when a redirect is appropriate. -- Richard Arthur Norton (1958- ) ( talk) 16:34, 12 June 2016 (UTC) reply
• Delete, then redirect There's nothing here to justify a stand-alone article. The blocked editor, and his block-evading sock, were on a campaign to undo settled deletions and redirects that were fully in line with our policies about notability and reliable sourcing and fully in line with the guidance found at the World's Oldest People Wikiproject page. That sort of disruption ought not be rewarded. If these actions succeed, we will surely see more. Our message to these persistent longevity hobbyists who refuse to abide by our policies and our dispute resolution processes should be uniform. We not only block them when we become aware of them; we also thwart their improper purpose. There's a reason longevity cases are subject to ARBCOM-imposed sanctions.

• Delete/redirect So WP:NOPAGE it's not even funny. E Eng 14:30, 16 June 2016 (UTC) reply
• Delete and redirect to List of Japanese supercentenarians#Chronological list of the oldest living person in Japan since 1992. Note: my proposed target makes clear that we should not be targeting the list (in that article) on the oldest living Japanese, because the subject's appearance on that list is only temporary.

• Delete/redirect. WP:NOPAGE, WP:PERMASTUB. Could have been BLP PRODed, even, since there's no sources. ~ Rob ^Talk 18:53, 16 June 2016 (UTC) reply
