No independent notability besides reaching the age of 110. This person is now "too young" to be included in the top 100 List of British supercentenarians or List of the verified oldest men. Nothing to preserve. — JFG talk 11:24, 20 November 2018 (UTC)

 * 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 his reason for not serving in either World War and he played a ball game for 50 years. There is nothing to preserve about this man, including this WP:PERMASTUB. Newshunter12 (talk) 02:52, 24 November 2018 (UTC)

 * Delete fails WP:GNG, two WP:ROUTINE birthday articles and one unlinked article does not make someone notable. WP:NOPAGE and WP:PERMASTUB would apply even if "notable". I also agree with the nom for deletion as there is no suitable table or list to redirect. CommanderLinx (talk) 11:37, 26 November 2018 (UTC)
 * Delete I find very little coverage apart from some reports of his 110th birthday, and of his death. Therefore, I would say he does not meet WP:GNG, not because of the quality of the references included in the article - that is not an argument for deletion, and not because he "just lived a long time" - that does not preclude anyone from meeting WP:GNG.
