How is he notable enough to merit his own article? He is one of many living Italians, and not even among the top five oldest men.Ricksantorum2012 (talk) 23:17, 3 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Because the project has decided that oldest living people is a category that qualifies for articles, I believe that "oldest living man in Europe" is a satisfactory claim to notability. Sven Manguard Wha? 03:11, 4 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - per above; oldest living people are notable enough for articles assuming sufficient sources exist to prove the claim. öBrambleberry of RiverClan 14:48, 4 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

weak keep certainly remarkable. Notability seems to hang on case law about notability--Robert EA Harvey (talk) 15:13, 4 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
