Just being old is not notability. Reywas92^Talk 18:07, 1 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Merge to list of Danish supercentenarians Longevitydude (talk) 19:03, 1 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

She's not a supercentenarian. Edit I see, somehow non-centenarian oldest people of Denmark are on the page. That makes the page badly named. Hekerui (talk) 19:26, 1 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

- Thats the only option I can think of. Longevitydude (talk) 20:45, 1 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I don't think we should rename the list to list of Danish centenarians because that would not be consistent with the other lists by country, which are apparently only for supercentenarians. See Template:Longevity.--Pink Bull 04:31, 8 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Someone's always going to be the oldest person in any country, and I do not see any indication that the coverage of this person meets the requirements of WP:N. Canadian Paul 03:36, 2 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

- For once I agree with you, but I still think information about the oldest people in Denmark Belongs in the List of Danish supercentenarians, thats the only option I can think of. Longevitydude (talk) 14:07, 2 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Question How is she different to Katarina Marinič? Lugnuts (talk) 12:12, 5 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Nominated at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Katarina Marinič. Reywas92^Talk 17:04, 5 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Neutral: I see where the nom's rationale is coming from, but if this one goes, I don't see why the third oldest person in the United States is here, or for that matter, why some of these people have articles. I think the notability here depends on coverage in WP:RS. _EricLeb⁰¹ (Page | Talk) 18:04, 5 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect to her listing at list of Danish supercentenarians. The keep/delete debate for similar biographies (Katarina Marinič, Maggie Renfro, etc.) is not about whether one is more important than the other. It only rests on one issue: the amount of significant coverage in reliable sources for that particular bio. Unfortunately, in this case of Karin Elly Hansen, there is only the one short obit -- and that is not enough to pass WP:GNG guidelines. I searched through Danish media and found no other coverage of her (Only the same article reprinted in all the major Danish news media). — CactusWriter ^(talk) 17:11, 7 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Coverage does not appear to be significant. Merging does not make sense because the list is for supercentenarians, not centenarians. --Pink Bull 04:22, 8 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Delete No significant coverage. Favonian (talk) 14:02, 8 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - does not meet WP:GNG requirements. Jenks24 (talk) 14:31, 8 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
