Stub article on a very old person, no substantive coverage (tagged with refimprove since last month), and I haven't found any (though I don't guarantee that my searches are definitive). He is listed in Oldest people, which is quite sufficient unless anyone finds substantial coverage in reliable sources to establish notability per WP:BIO.

 * Note. I have removed a ref to a wikipedia fork, not a WP:RS. --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 08:20, 10 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete No significant coverage found. Epbr123 (talk) 15:47, 10 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete No substantial independent, reliable sources to establish meeting WP:N or WP:BIO. Nothing here that couldn't be summarized in the many supercentenarian lists. Cheers, CP 16:37, 10 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Merge with List of American supercentenarians or delete but don't keep. Victuallers (talk) 11:02, 11 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete Just getting old does not satisfy WP:BIO, any more than if someone were the "fattest person in the world" with succession boxes. The references, which are mere directory listings, are not the substantial coverage required to show notability per WP:N. Inclusion in a list is sufficient.
