The result was   keep. Failing WP:V would be a compelling reason for deletion, but the one source cited,, a gerontologists' newsletter, is not obviously unreliable.  Sandstein  06:41, 26 September 2009 (UTC)

No reliable sources can be found. Fails WP:BIO. Darcourt is already listed in List of oldest people by year of birth, which includes basically as much information as this article contains. Neptune 5000 ( talk ) 02:16, 19 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep. This is a typical Wikipedia problem: this article serves as a place to keep/collect information on Pierre Darcourt, including the titles at the bottom of his article. I doubt all that is going to be preserved or merged into the "list of" articles. Ryoung 122  04:44, 19 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep per Ryoung122. 74.249.149.228 (talk) 13:14, 19 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete unless multiple, non-trivial sources in reliable publications to establish notability. As noted by nominator, right now all the information is more appropriate for list format. Cheers, CP 16:36, 19 September 2009 (UTC)
 * I suggest - retain this article; this man was the oldest human ever, for a good number of years (based on present knowledge, which is fallible and incomplete). I propose retaining this article, at least until his age is proven incorrect - and exaggerated; or until there is proof of an earlier person older than he. As the 'oldest ever' he will be one of a very small number - possibly fewer than a dozen - Plante, Darcourt, Peters (or D'Evergroote and Boomgard), Filkins, Graham, Izumi - or Williams (and White), and Calment. Eleven in all, some not totally convincingly verified - but Darcourt was! Keep this article. 74.249.149.228 (talk) 13:17, 19 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep. The first documented human over the age of 108 is probably notable. -- Necrothesp (talk) 17:36, 19 September 2009 (UTC)
