Habib Miyan[edit]

Tagged non notable since Oct 2007. Does not meet WP:BIO. Kittybrewster ☎ 13:37, 19 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - I can't see how this person can be non-notable... BBC News has at least two articles that cover the man significantly and even a photo gallery about his life. The first article even mentions him shooting "into the limelight" and that he was "reported to be the oldest in the world". There are other reliable sources, including this source in The Times of India.-Samuel Tan 14:32, 19 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - If not verifiable to be the oldest man, he definitely earns a place in wikipedia on the number of years he drew pension! --STTW (talk) 17:15, 19 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
