There seems to be consensus that simply being very old doesn't make one notable, does a similar principle apply for weighing a lot? References are tabloid-style coverage of his death or fat lists from sources that don't appear reliable. There doesn't appear to be significant coverage of him. power~enwiki ( π, ν ) 16:36, 25 November 2018 (UTC)

 * Deleteor Redirect Sourcing is not good and mostly not RS. If you cut the dodgy list sites, you are left with only three sources that report he died, filled with tabloidy trivia, none of which contain any biographical details. Redirect to his name on List of the heaviest people if it must be kept. Curdle (talk) 16:05, 27 November 2018 (UTC)
