Contested PROD. Rationale was "Non-notable, debunked longevity claim. Debunked even before he died in a single article, and Guinness made a mistake; falsely claiming to have been a soldier is not notable." There is one NYT article about him, so maybe a minibio on Longevity claims or Longevity myths, but per WP:PAGEDECIDE there's just not enough here for a full biography.

Comment There is probably enough information on Salling at Last surviving Confederate veterans without inclusion of a mini-bio elsewhere. DerbyCountyinNZ (Talk Contribs) 05:41, 10 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
