Keep, such extraordinarily advanced age should always be regarded as notable. (How many AfD nominations in how quick succession -- the last was in September -- should be tolerated before more become barred as a nuisance?)

CommanderLinx is correct, and I would add that complaining that there were previous AfD's so more should be banned is the sign of a weak argument. You can't defend the article on its merits, so you try to save it on a technicality redline you yourself want to retroactively create.

Delete This article blatantly fails
WP:GNG,
WP:BIO1E, and
WP:NOPAGE. There is no policy that the "oldest x" is notable and this article is packed with longevity fancruft like mundane record explanations, number of living children, and the standard longevity secret. His name, life dates, and nationality are best handled on the four lists they already reside on. This
WP:PERMASTUB is not needed.

Delete/Redirect to appropriate list.
WP:NOPAGE should almost certainly apply here. There is never going to be more than the absolute bare basics to say about him. He was born, he had a daughter, bred silkworms, became oldest living man and then died. Throw in some fluffy trivia about predecessors/successor and that someone else was older but now isn't recognised but this
WP:PERMASTUB is easily handled on a list somewhere.
