Fraudulent non-supercentenarian. Anyway, WP:NOPAGE. EEng (talk) 05:49, 12 November 2015 (UTC)
 * Nomination withdrawn -- see below EEng (talk) 00:07, 13 November 2015 (UTC)


 * Keep - good coverage. Being a fraud doesn't make a difference as that just brings additional coverage. —Мандичка YO 😜 06:57, 12 November 2015 (UTC)
 * But still not enough to warrant a standalone article. There's nothing worth reading about here. EEng (talk) 16:48, 12 November 2015 (UTC)

 * Keep: Hey now, as article creator, is there a reason I wasn't notified?  Anyhow, Mr. Brock is certainly a notable subject.  Whether it is "worth reading about"?   Well, life has no meaning, so nothing is really worth reading about, according to some.  I am aware there are kerfuffles on Wikipedia over non-notable old people, I am not involved in any of that.  I don't care who the oldest person was in Belgium in 2008.  But this person is a legend, and like most legends, it wasn't true that he was as old as claimed.  But he was still the subject of significant coverage during his life and beyond.  Indeed, over 100 years after his death, the Waco Tribune still ran a feature story on him.  I first ran across Brock when I noted he was hawked heavily in nostrum advertising for "Peruna" in early 1900s magazines, he was a well-known figure.--Milowent • hasspoken  22:05, 12 November 2015 (UTC)
 * Keep Based on Milowent's post and a careful review of sources now in the article, I withdraw my nomination (except I forget how to do that exactly -- can someone make it happen?). EEng (talk) 00:07, 13 November 2015 (UTC)
 * EEng, thank you for taking a second look. Considering the nomination, I made the recent edits to make it more clear why he was notable (and not just that he was a real old guy).  Someone will come along to close it, or will I try to figure it out, its been awhile since I've closed one.--Milowent • hasspoken  00:18, 13 November 2015 (UTC)
