Wilson Kettle

 * – ( View AfD View log )

Minimally sourced biography of a person notable only for having lived to be 102. To be fair, at the time this was created we did have a rule that reaching the age of 100 was "inherently" notable due to its relative rarity -- but that's long since been deprecated, and centenarians are no longer handed an automatic notability freebie in the absence of a WP:GNG-worthy volume and depth of reliable sourcing. But the only source here is a very short entry in a regional history encyclopedia, which is obviously a valid start but not enough all by itself if it's the only source he has, and I haven't been able to find anything else of value.

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Delete According to the guidelines being a centenarian is not enough to have a stand alone article. There's not enough coverage on the subject. I have checked several articles this one can be merged with but failed to find a proper target. Less Unless (talk) 21:03, 10 May 2021 (UTC)
 * Keep entry in an encyclopedia is enough for me to prove notability, however it is not enough for sourcing and needs further RS. Needs improvement, but not deletion. --hroest 13:22, 14 May 2021 (UTC)

 * Delete: centenarian is not enough to have an arcticle, fails WP:BIO CommanderWaterford (talk) 19:48, 16 May 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete: Fails WP:BIO. Please ping me if anyone would find more sources. Currently, It does also not meet requirements for WP:GNG.--Kemalcan (talk) 08:04, 17 May 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete: not enough coverage to pass general notability guidelines. Fails GNG. TheDreamBoat (talk) 02:42, 20 May 2021 (UTC)
