This person's only claim to notability was reaching an advanced age and being the world's oldest (known) man for a few months. The article offers no significant detail about his life and deeds, and he is now too "young" to appear among the top 100 British supercentenarians and world's oldest men. Nothing to preserve. — JFG ^talk 10:21, 28 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete not notable only for getting old. Legacypac (talk) 09:32, 29 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete This article 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 he worked until age 99, and a medical exam shortly before his death compared his brain to a healthy 70-75 year old. There is nothing to preserve about this man, including this WP:PERMASTUB. Newshunter12 (talk) 10:17, 29 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete notable only for single criteria, similar to other few recently nominated subjects. Rzvas (talk) 08:02, 30 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete Fails WP:GNG as a GRG table and two unlinked articles does not make someone notable. This is a WP:PERMASTUB that has no hope of expanding beyond he was born, worked as a chemist until he was 99, had his brain analysed and died so WP:NOPAGE definitely applies here.
