There's no indication that this is a notable individual. As a preliminary matter, his name isn't listed at List of last surviving World War I veterans since he was just the world's oldest living WWI veteran for some time (no As of template so it's not clear how long), and the oldest American for a month. Here, the only references are a generic link to the GRG (which tells little), what seems to be a dead link to an old MSN page and the Boston Globe which is more of a WP:ROUTINE obituary than real evidence of notability. According to this link, he was the oldest WWI veteran from Massachusetts, and the last veteran of the Meuse-Argonne Offensive (based on what looks like another ROUTINE obituary reference) which is overall slicing it pretty thin in terms of notability.

Merge very limited details into the section of the Richard Rubin (writer) article that deals with Last of the Doughboys. Not notable on his own. Peacemaker67 (crack... thump) 02:52, 17 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Merge, obviously, per WP:NOPAGE. "On one of his trips, a bomb struck right in front of the horse, killing the horse and saved Tony's life. Tony had been using this horse and wagon for a while and had become attached to the horse, and it was quite disturbing to see this horse, who had become a companion, die. Tony’s love for horses was only seconded by the young lady Madelina whom he met, after the war, in one of the French towns close to where his unit was stationed. He would take her dancing many nights or talk for hours with the family. He would also bring his ration of cigarettes to her father." My god, is there no limit to this crap?

Delete, then Redirect to the Doughboys section of the Richard Rubin page. David in DC (talk) 18:46, 19 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Merge to an appropriate supercentenarian page. The coverage that I see/can find for this individual indicates some measure of notability, but not the need for a stand-alone page. Canadian Paul 17:51, 22 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
