Single-sourced article on the oldest living combat veteran and last African American veteran of World War I. The lone reference is to an AP wire story, and a google search threw up plenty of hits, but so far as I could see the only coverage in reliable sources all relies on the same AP wire story (see e.g. , , and ). His assertion of notability is stronger than for other very old people, but the single source makes him marginal wrt WP:BIO. Unless more substabtive coverage can be found in reliable sources, I suggest merger to List of American supercentenarians. --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 17:41, 9 December 2007 (UTC)
