Aside from more specific considerations such as WP:BLP1E (his alleged notability stems from maybe being the oldest person in the world but probably not, thus the one event I refer to here is "getting really old" not "an individual birthday" as is sometimes claimed) and WP:NOTNEWSPAPER, this individual does not seem to meet the general guidelines of WP:N. Specifically, I do not see any evidence of non-trivial coverage in multiple, independent third-party sources. He seems to have had a brief burst of attention in mid-2007 for his age and nothing since (that I could uncover), meaning he lacks the sustained coverage that would distinguish him from thousands of other individual claiming (falsely or otherwise) to be very old.

  • Delete - only source listed doesn't demonstrate enough notability to even be mentioned on a general article on allegedly long-lived persons. DreamGuy (talk) 01:47, 22 June 2012 (UTC)
  • Delete - Being that he is Vietnamese, I can't seem to find other news articles (specifically English) supporting this article. SwisterTwister talk 02:50, 29 June 2012 (UTC)
