Another highly dubious article, same problems as with
Gregorio Celli. Unsubstantiated and unsourced claims of sainthood and extreme longevity, the sources in the article certainly aren't of the caliber to support even what they purport to. Someone might want to take a look at the images in both articles too.

Keep Yes, saints' lives are often rather unbelievable, like biblical figures (eg
Methuselah) and legendary figures (eg
King Arthur), which doesn't mean that they are not notable. In this case, like Gregorio Celli, the
WP:NCATHOLIC notability guide or essay on notability seems the most useful - it says, "an individual will almost always have sufficient coverage to qualify if they: #3 Are in the process of possible canonization and are recognized by the titles "Venerable" and/or "Blessed"." Giovanni Liccio was beatified "Blessed", and there are sources eg Butler's Lives of the Saints, Volume 11[1].
