No sources and reads in its entirety "August Bischof (18 August 1900 – 4 March 2006) was, at age 105, the last living Austrian World War I veteran." which suggests he lacks notability Legacypac (talk) 09:25, 18 January 2016 (UTC)

 * Keep. The last living veteran of a major war from a major country is going to be notable. -- Necrothesp (talk) 16:42, 18 January 2016 (UTC)
 * Keep per Necrothesp. Seems like the article needs to be expanded, not deleted. -- WV ● ✉ ✓  17:06, 18 January 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete unless reliable, non-trivial sources can be found that establish notability per WP:N. Notability is based on guidelines and sources, not what we feel subjectively is notable. Canadian   Paul  18:00, 22 January 2016 (UTC)
 * Comment the subject is on this list List_of_last_surviving_World_War_I_veterans_by_country with a reference in French that says exactly what this article says and no more. The French source looks more like a blog on a subdomain of free.fr (a free hosting service?) and is definitely not a major news outlet or academic source. Therefore this page provides no information the list does not and per WP:NOPAGE we should keep his name on the list. As the only source says so little, yet covers other people with somewhat more people, it seems unlikely this page can be expanded. I found that there was an effort by the author and others to create articles about every last veteran by country, but if there is nothing to say about them that seems misguided.

 * Delete outliving all the other vetarans of a given conflict is not notable in and of itself.John Pack Lambert (talk) 23:03, 5 February 2016 (UTC)
 * Redirect to List of last surviving World War I veterans by country] at best and delete if needed because the keep votes suggest this be kept and expanded but it's unlikely any solid information is going to be available especially if he was best known for his age. He's best connected to the article I linked above so it's likely best this be moved there. SwisterTwister   talk  06:40, 9 February 2016 (UTC)
