This person's only claim to notability was reaching an advanced age and being the oldest man in the UK for a few months. The article offers no significant detail about his life and deeds, and sourcing about the "longest-married couple" is the Daily Mail, which is prohibited. He is now too "young" to appear among the top 100 British supercentenarians and world's oldest men. Nothing to preserve. — JFG ^talk 10:11, 28 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 his marriage date in relation to his birthday, his secret to longevity, and a dubious marriage length record. There is nothing to preserve about this man, including this WP:PERMASTUB. Newshunter12 (talk) 10:12, 29 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete notable only for single criteria, similar to other few recently nominated subjects. Rzvas (talk) 08:07, 30 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
