No independent notability besides this person's reaching an advanced age. His entries on the List of the verified oldest men and List of Spanish supercentenarians are sufficient. — JFG talk 16:16, 20 November 2018 (UTC)
 * Keep, was the world's oldest man which is far more than "reaching an advanced age" and he also possibly held the world record for time by which a child survived a parent. LE (talk) 18:00, 20 November 2018 (UTC)
 * If it's notable, then there should be significant coverage of it. Nothing currently in the article indicates anything approaching significant coverage. Just living, by itself, is not inherently notable. The Blade of the Northern Lights ( 話して下さい ) 18:46, 20 November 2018 (UTC)
 * Living for an absolutely extraordinary length of time is inherently notable. LE (talk) 19:20, 20 November 2018 (UTC)

 * Nothing you have said, LE, is grounded in any Wikipedia policy or guideline, and inventing a supposed record to try to create notability says all we need to know about this article and that your vote is pure WP:ILIKEIT. Newshunter12 (talk) 01:35, 24 November 2018 (UTC)
 * Note: This discussion has been included in the list of Spain-related deletion discussions.  CAPTAIN RAJU (T) 18:51, 20 November 2018 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Delete This article blatantly fails WP:GNG, WP:BIO1E, and WP:NOPAGE. There is no policy that the "oldest x" is notable and this article is packed with longevity fancruft like mundane record speculation and family age milestones. His name, life dates, and nationality are best handled on the five lists they already reside on. This WP:PERMASTUB is not needed. Newshunter12 (talk) 01:35, 24 November 2018 (UTC)

Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Sam Sailor 05:13, 28 November 2018 (UTC)


 * Delete strip out the horse race stats (hint it is not a contest) and we have nothing but boring bio details padded by the ages at deatb of his non-notable siblings. Legacypac (talk) 08:05, 3 December 2018 (UTC)
