A declined speedy by NickOrnstein read, "Mary Dolan Dolan doesn't seem too "notable" in the outer world. The article doesn't note that she has been, for example a governor, nor a longevity record holder at minimum. While being employed in the economy, chances are you are more recognizable due to being in the media a lot more often. If she had been married, for example, 80 years it would make sense to keep the article - longevity record." This basic nonnotability argument is valid in that being 105 based on half an article does not a WP topic make. I say half an article because the one news reference is also being used to support Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/James Dolan (centenarian). JJB 04:24, 22 October 2010 (UTC)

Delete. Although I declined the speedy (there is a robust debate going on about whether articles like this should be speedy-deleted at Wikipedia_talk:Criteria_for_speedy_deletion) I do not think the subject of this article, or her brother, are notable. In my opinion merely reaching the age of 105 does not establish notability. Thparkth (talk) 11:56, 22 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Fails WP:BIO at this time. Take another look when she hits 110. Edison (talk) 20:35, 22 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Delete its only one article, besides, being the only living sibling of a 105 year old is not inherently notable, especially if shes only 103, what the point in her and her brother getting articles, 105 and 103 are not notable, if they were the oldest living siblings then maybe they would deserve an artclie, but even with that being said, Maggie renfro's siblings, both older then James Dolan, don't have articles, is James Dolan the oldest in his country, What made anyone think he and his sister should get articles?

Delete Repeating comment from the brother's page. Notability is barely asserted, let alone established, for this personDavid in DC (talk) 20:34, 28 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
