A declined speedy by NickOrnstein read, "There is no reason to create an article on her now. It would make more sense if she were a supercentenarian and/or if she was the oldest living resident in her country. An article on Wikipedia is being used as a source, which is against the rules." Nick also said here, "Eva McConnell is not the oldest after Australia's formation, which was on January 1, 1901. Mary Rothstein born February 27, 1901 is the oldest (known) and oldest born after." I add that Nick has access to sources like the Gerontology Research Group to back up this statement, which combined with not yet being a supercentenarian pretty much gives the lie to notability. There's also that circular sourcing going on. JJB 04:21, 22 October 2010 (UTC)
