Per the List of oldest cats, the info in this article claiming this is the oldest cat is incorrect. Also, as there are numerous older cats, this subject does not seem notable. RobP (talk) 03:05, 30 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Delete : agree that this page is not notable. -- BhagyaMani (talk) 09:47, 30 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Delete as not independently notable; merge the gist to List of oldest cats; we have list articles in part to preserve encyclopedically meaningful information – non-trivia, that does not fail WP:NOT#INDISCRIMINATE, but which doesn't rise to WP:GNG level and which probably has no possibility of article expansion. A former "world's oldest cat" who no longer is, isn't something any RS is every likely to write an article about ever again, so we'll never get better sourcing and more detail than we already have, in all probability. — SMcCandlish ☏ ¢ 😼 22:11, 30 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
