Subject's only claim to notability is having lived very long. As explained on the page of the Oldest people project, this falls under WP:BLP1E. All useful information in this article (age record, country of birth) is present in List of Italian supercentenarians and the other lists enumerated under "see also".

As she is the oldest Italian ever, I think there are many people that want an article about her. We should have a few days to improve it. --Leoj83 (talk) 12:47, 11 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. I just noticed that this AfD was not posted to the talk page at WikiProject WOP that Crusio had mentioned in his comment above. One could construe that he made this AfD intentionally without informing the WikiProject members in which he was already aware of. To address his use of WP:BLP1E, it does not apply here because he did not quote the next paragraph of the WikiProject WOP: "Supercentenarians whose age has been reported in reliable sources should be included in longevity-related lists, whether or not other notable, reliably-sourced facts justify a stand-alone biography." In the case of Venere Pizzinato, as she was the oldest verified Italian ever in that country, she garnered multiple reliable-sources articles regarding not just her longevity itself but as well as being in the record books in her country as the oldest person ever. Her status was not an one-time event; rather, it was across multiple events, i.e. reaching her 112th and subsequent birthdays (related to longevity only) as well as becoming the oldest verified Italian ever (a new, separate notable event). In light of that, I agree with Leoj83 above that we should have some time to improve this short biographical article with more reliable sources. Cheers, CalvinTy 15:44, 11 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
