Biographical article abour someone but with no claim to notabilty. She met some notable people, but notabilty doesn't rub off like that. Article claims she was a centenarian - not in itself rare these days - in fact she died aged 109, so not even notable there. Emeraude (talk) 11:03, 2 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Possible redirect to List of centenarians (miscellaneous) - The article never indicates her significance aside from her 100+ age but Google News archives provided enough to support a redirect. Regarding the article's current sources, the first reference (rte.ie) hardly mentions details aside from becoming "the oldest woman in the world to receive a university degree", which may be notable, but I believe this would be insufficient. The second reference appears to be a dead link, possible due to a URL error. Google News archives Ireland provided much of the same references but a few of them are different. However, what concerns me about the redirect is that the article never mentions her actual occupation aside from small jobs such as housekeeper.
