I'm not sure the combination of oldest living Catholic priest in Europe, second oldest German man and one of the last WWI veterans is a combination that makes someone notable. There is a VIAF identifier which I don't think changes things and it seems like the German version refers to other people. Ricky81682 (talk) 04:19, 1 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

~~Delete~~ Need more info "Oldest living priest in Europe ... Germany's second-oldest man ... one of the last German First World War veterans." None of this equals notability. However, in general anyone with a full obit in the NYT is presumed notable -- is there any similar presumption for a Telegraph obit (which has just been added)? Apologies for my ignorance of British newspapers, pinging Martinevans123 for advice. EEng (talk) 04:48, 1 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Just added info from obit in Sunday Independent (Ireland). He was clearly a thing in the years when he was the "oldest living." I'm not saying that being the "oldest living" makes you WP:NOTABLE, but, rather, that if enough major newspapers write obits, that coverage of your life makes you WP:NOTABLE. We assess the evidence of notability according to the metric of stuff like obits in major national dailies. E.M.Gregory (talk) 21:50, 1 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Move to Karl Fuchs (priest) and translate/import the German DAB 1 and its daughter pages--Samuel J. Howard (talk) 03:16, 4 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Keep, agree with E.M.Gregory. (But who exactly was Georg Ganswein)?? Martinevans123 (talk) 07:38, 4 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

User:Martinevans123, since you asked, Georg Gänswein is a prince of the Church.E.M.Gregory (talk) 19:47, 4 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks. It helps that he's now linked. Martinevans123 (talk) 20:24, 4 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Keep per E.M.Gregory's analysis. Cavarrone 08:02, 4 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
