Proposed merge of John Tinniswood into List of British supercentenarians

Nothing special about this person compared to the rest on this list. Obvious BLP1E, no encyclopedic content beyond some dates. Randykitty (talk) 17:46, 6 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

If you kept up with the news you would've seen that from serval reliable news sources the GRG and Guinness book of world records he just became the oldest living man in the entire world! And he had coverage way before that Wwew345t (talk) 16:07, 7 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Not only is he the worlds oldest man but him becoming that was reported by several news outlets and not just local ones it was covered by CNN and CBS Wwew345t (talk) 16:12, 7 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Please see WP:BLP1E. Also, how many supercentenarians in this list have their own article? Preciously few, exactly. Only the very few where something encyclopedic encyclopedic can be said (beyond "fish and chips on Friday"), have an article. The vast majority have none. Just getting old does not make someone notable. --Randykitty (talk) 17:06, 7 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Your argument "being old isnt notable" is subjective his life birthdays (the last few of them) and his Accession to worlds oldest man have been covered by several major news sources. Not every supercentenarian becomes the oldest living man in the entire world and he will likley receive more coverage then he has now (which is still enough for an article saying he isnt notable on the sole basis of your opinion that it isn't notable should be laughable Wwew345t (talk) 18:22, 7 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

WP:BLP1E lists three conditions, all of which should be met. Not one of them is. 1) Being the oldest living man can hardly count as just a "single event". 2) Tinnsiwood is likely to remain a center of attention for as long as he lives. 3) He has a central role in the matter.
