Non-notable old lady. She lived a long time, and... that's about it, as being the oldest person in the world for a few weeks doesn't seem to have generated anything beyond the utterly routine coverage currently in this article. Hence WP:NOPAGE applies, and there's no obvious place for a redirect. The Blade of the Northern Lights (話して下さい) 14:40, 10 November 2018 (UTC)

- Delete This article fails WP:GNG and WP:BIO1E because there is only WP:ROUTINE coverage of her that fails to demonstrate notability and there is no notability guideline that "the oldest x" is notable. The content of the article is pretty much just trivia fluff about her family and trivia about what she was doing at what age. There is almost nothing actually said about her in an article that is supposed to be about her, which demonstrates how the article fails WP:NOPAGE. Her age, life dates, and nationality are already recorded on five different lists, where they are easier to view, so this permanent WP:PERMASTUB is not needed.

- Delete – Nothing of note in the article except longevity records which are best recorded in relevant lists. I'm impressed this lady was "still shoveling snow at 106", though. I would support a redirect to List of Italian supercentenarians, where she is one of the oldest on record, so that readers looking up her name don't rush to re-create a WP:NOPAGE article. — JFG talk 04:18, 12 November 2018 (UTC)
- Delete Routine coverage ('becomes oldest person' or 'Dina Manfredini dies'). I can't find any story which provides in depth non trivial coverage. I know WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS doesn't always apply but Wikipedia doesn't have articles for every person who was the oldest person in the world. So delete. Also open to the redirect idea put forth by JFG. JC7V-talk 07:05, 12 November 2018 (UTC)
