A very minor footnote of a historical figure about whom almost nothing is known. More than half the article text is one massively overlong quote, which one of the other 2 sources even claims is inaccurate, and per WP:PAGEDECIDE the rest isn't enough for a full page; if there's a place to merge any of this I wouldn't see a problem with a short mention, but there's nowhere near enough for a full article. The completely ridiculous age claim doesn't help. The Blade of the Northern Lights (話して下さい) 19:14, 3 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Keep The en.wiki article wasn’t linked to the fr.wiki article so I’ve fixed that. From the fr.wiki piece we can see there are portraits of the subject, a street named after him, and some sources not used in the en.wiki article. I’ll try and do some work to improve this in the next few days but it’s pretty clear this subject passes WP:GNG. Mccapra (talk) 04:12, 4 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Comment, to assist afdeditors, here is a link to the French wikiarticle. Coolabahapple (talk) 22:15, 6 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Keep, meets WP:GNG with available sources, also, written about by Thomas Carlyle, arguably one of the most important social commentators of his day, also contributes to Jacob's wikinotableness, thanks to Mccapra for bringing our attention to the French wikiarticle and for offering to improve the English wikiarticle.

Keep -- This is a credible claim of great longevity, which makes him notable. I agree that little is known, but that does not matter. Peterkingiron (talk) 17:18, 8 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Comment sorry I completely forgot about this and likely will not get to improve it before this AfD closes. Anyway, still keep. Mccapra (talk) 00:32, 9 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
