The result was delete. Everything here is unreferenced and the only notable content is a sentence describing that the subject was once the 4th oldest person in the world. If someone wants to merge that elsewhere, I won't stop them. Tijuana Brass (talk) 04:46, 27 December 2007 (UTC)

Currently unreferenced article on a very old American. I have found only this one reference in a reliable source, and apart from that a google search throws up only bulletin boards etc. The lone reference is rather trivial, so the article falls well short of WP:BIO. I suggest trimming the article to remove the unreferenced material and merging what's left to List of American supercentenarians. BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 17:14, 9 December 2007 (UTC)

• Delete or Merge No substantial independent, reliable sources to establish meeting WP:N or WP:BIO. Cheers, CP 20:37, 9 December 2007 (UTC)

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so that consensus may be reached.

• Delete Fails WP:N and WP:BIO. "Fourth oldest man" is a specious title with no import. Edison (talk) 02:36, 18 December 2007 (UTC)
• Strong keep. He is notable nevertheless, even if he hadn't made it to 110, as a CEO of a corporation. Extremely sexy (talk) 22:38, 21 December 2007 (UTC)
• Delete as non notable. Getting a piece in the local paper or being a CEO are not automatic notability proof. Nuttah (talk) 15:11, 22 December 2007 (UTC)
• Merge and Redirect to List of American supercentenarians per BrownHairedGirl. With all respect to the late (very late) Mr. Hartman. --Lockley (talk) 16:33, 23 December 2007 (UTC)

• Merge and Redirect to List of American supercentenarians. My view is that that people who have been the oldest person in the world, or of a significant country, are notable enough for their own article. However, this guy has never achieved either of these distinctions. Therefore a full merge, with the addition of the sources identified by BrownHairedGirl, is a good way forward.
