Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/William Coates (longevity claimant) (2nd nomination)
He has enough quality references to meet at least a technical pass of  (I added two more from the Washington Post, and a lesser mention from the Wall Street Journal).  There are also several books that mention the hoax (which I think it was). A hoax that lasted many years (the Washington Post first did an article in 1999 with follow-ups in 2002, and 2004), cannot really be an "event".  I think the case would be interesting to a reader wanting to know the facts of what actually happened here
