Onezima "Oni" Ponder

Subject does not meet primary notability guidelines that require coverage of the subject in multiple reliable sources. Only source currently available is one news article that would not allow for one to write a substantial, neutral biography on this individual. Someone has to be the oldest in each state, and Ponder happens to be it; beyond that, there's no evidence of notability. Cheers, CP 15:31, 7 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. If being just a member of a football team is notable (see Keeley Dorsey, then it's not too much to expect that being the oldest person in the state (out of 17 million) isn't. Ok, although I doubt she is actually the oldest in the state, and this may have been a premature article creation, this woman appears to be in good shape and her age is validatable (the census matches have already been located) even though not yet officially accepted. Also, simply because there is just one article presently attached doesn't mean there are others...in fact there are several others, some for her 109th birthday, some in between.Ryoung122 20:30, 7 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Correction: it seems that the Keeley Dorsey article was deleted while I was gone.Ryoung122 05:59, 8 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

delete for now I think it is premature to create an article. We cant assume she is in good shape and will live long enough to gain notability. I think WP:CBALL applies here. --Npnunda (talk) 02:22, 8 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. If that is the case, and the decision is to delete, it should be noted that future recreation might be different if, say, she is still living some 3 years from now.Ryoung122 06:04, 8 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
