Is this 1906 San Francisco earthquake survivor notable? I don't think so, particularly because coverage of him was based on the mistaken belief that he was the last living survivor at the time of his death. Delete. --Nlu (talk) 05:22, 31 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Merge -- This is a typical one event case. the 1906 earthquake was a major catastrophe. It might be worth having a paragraph at the end of the article on that listing the last survivors, but otherwise the subject is utterly NN. Peterkingiron (talk) 00:16, 5 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Delete The population of SF at the time was about 300,000. Our article on the earthquake gives a death toll of 3,000. Approximately 99% of the inhabitants survived. Which of the 297,000 survived the lognest after that time is the essence of triviality. 'DGG (at NYPL)' (talk) 20:01, 6 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect to 1906 San Francisco earthquake, where he is already mentioned so no further merging is necessary. --MelanieN (talk) 00:34, 7 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
