No evidence of the type of sustained coverage that would meet the guidelines at WP:N; most of what is here and findable online is routine coverage following a brief burst of interest in his extreme age and subsequent death. There's no Wikipedia policy or consensus that states that the oldest anything is automatically notable by the encyclopedia's standards; numerous AfDs on the "oldest" individuals have been kept or deleted based on their individual merits. Thus we default to the general notability guidelines and any material of encyclopedic merit can be included on the many longevity-related lists on Wikipedia.

 * Delete The longevity claim may be real, but the coverage appears to be lacking.  E Eng  10:01, 13 November 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete fails WP:GNG, lack of coverage in sources. A routine obituary does not make someone notable (note I removed the second source as it does not mention this person). CommanderLinx (talk) 11:07, 13 November 2016 (UTC)
