Aside from more specific considerations such as WP:BLP1E (his alleged notability stems from maybe being the oldest person in the world but probably not) and WP:NOTNEWSPAPER, this individual does not seem to meet the general guidelines of WP:N. Specifically, I do not see any evidence of non-trivial coverage in multiple, independent third-party sources. He seems to have had a brief burst of attention in May 2008 for his age and nothing since, meaning he lacks the sustained coverage that would distinguish him from thousands of other individual claiming (falsely or otherwise) to be very old.

~~Delete~~ Redirect If he was actually verified to be one of the oldest living people in the world, then maybe he would have some notability (though very borderline). However, with or without the claims, he simply hasn't received enough coverage in reliable sources, even if his claims are true. Narutolovehinata5 ^tccsdnew 23:33, 1 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

After thinking about it, a redirect would probably be the best option, since he has received some coverage, but not enough to satisfy any notability guidelines. Nevertheless, he still isn't notable enough for a separate entry. Narutolovehinata5 ^tccsdnew 02:52, 11 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect to Longevity claims where he is mentioned. Cancero technically meets the GNG as at least two (likely more) Philippine newspapers covered his claim, but there is not much to say about him so inclusion in the list of claimants is sufficient. --ThaddeusB (talk) 14:04, 7 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

As long as his name would be a viable search term then a redirect would be a good idea. Narutolovehinata5 ^tccsdnew 02:41, 9 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect to Longevity claims as per ThaddeusB PhantomSteve/talk|contribs\ 23:43, 10 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect to Longevity claims per ThaddeusB and Delete other content is most appropriate since the only claim of notability is longevity. DocTree (talk) 02:48, 11 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
