Fails the general notability guidelines, as there is no evidence of non-trivial coverage in multiple, reliable, third-party sources. There is also very little (if any) claim to notability: essentially he is someone who has lived to a great age and served as a solider around the time of (but not in) an important conflict. I admit that, being that this is such a common name, I could have easily missed sources, so I will gladly withdraw my nomination if sources demonstrating notability are uncovered.

Delete He has done nothing of note beyond the local newspaper article saying he turned 105 years old. I'm assuming old age doesn't equate with notability but will certainly defer to majority opinion. Nineteen Nightmares (talk) 01:34, 4 July 2010 (UTC)Nineteen Nightmares[reply]
Delete – Fails to provide notability per WP:BIO or WP:GNG. ttonyb (talk) 02:11, 4 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Delete He is not a war veteran, per the article, but has reached the age of 108, God bless him. Nothing which satisfies WP:BIO. Edison (talk) 03:30, 4 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Being old isn't enough, nor is being in the merchant navy (not armed forces, not a war veteran). Nuttah (talk) 20:29, 10 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
