Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Yukichi Chuganji (2nd nomination)
I think it is common sense that someone who was at one time the oldest living person in the world is notable, and even if there was no other reason to keep this article, then it should be kept based on the instruction in otability to use common sense.  However, I think obituaries from major news organizations are sufficient coverage to show that a person is notable, and that he does in fact have significant coverage in reliable sources.  The references to  mentioned above are a misapplication of the guideline, since  is a section of Wikipedia:Notability (events), and thus has no bearing on whether a person is notable.  The point of  is that the death of the person is not a notable ''event''.  Newspapers routinely run obituaries for notable people, and that doesn't provide evidence that the death should be covered in a separate article.  However, such coverage in a reliable source is evidence that the ''person'' is notable and should have their own article.  I furthermore disagree that this article should be merged or redirected per OPAGE, as that section seems to call primarily for a subjective assessment of whether the article subject would be better covered in a larger article.  In this case, I think the details in this article would not improve other articles, and instead think that we are covering the subject in the best way right now (with a little information in articles like oldest people, and some more information in a standalone article).  I also disagree with  in general, as I find stub articles useful and satisfying to read even when they can't be expanded; since it is an essay and not a guideline, it should have no bearing on the outcome of the discussion.  In short, I think he passes the notability guidelines and I find none of the arguments for a redirect convincing
