I am nominating Rubble's page, and several other similar pages, for deletion for the same reason as my
previous AFD nomination: holding the title of "oldest living cat" (or oldest living dog) for a year or two is not enough to pass
WP:BIO and is a textbook example of a case of
WP:1E where the one event isn't even particularly notable outside of the Guinness Book of World Records. Wikipedia already has lists for the pets who held this achievement (
cats,
dogs), which these articles could possibly redirect to. I am also nominating the following related pages because they are non-notable for the same reasons as Rubble.
This is a great story ! do not delete! Some one please make a table of the oldest living cats like is done for the supercentarians, by country. I think every cat who makes it to 30 yers old deserves to be on the list. Besides, there is a lot of less interesting stuff on wikipedia anyway. Is someone afraid wikipediamwill run out of space? — Preceding

The table you mentioned already exists, 73. I linked it in my nomination, and it is even more extensive than the one you suggested (the youngest cat on the list is 26, not 30.)

Redirect all to either
List of oldest cats or
List of longest living dogs, depending on species. Each one is notable only for the age at which they died, and the only sources being used in all of them are on their deaths. As the nom says, this is pretty much an example of
WP:1E. All of the essential information regarding their longevity is concisely presented on the respective lists, which is a far better way to organize the information.

Don't delete it, the cat is a record holder and is worth having his wiki. Start by deleting all the people who fail to meet notability criteria and have a page on Wikipedia, or the tons of mostly unknown bands littering wikipedia.

Delete Per nom. I love both cats and dogs and it is amazing these animals lived so long but unfortunately they are not notable for Wikipedia. I am very sorry. :( And to anonymous: I am working on the deletion of non-notable bands. ;)

By the way, there's two deletion noms here with Support bolded, leading to confusion for the polling.

Redirect all per Rorshacma. {{u|Sdkb}}talk 00:29, 7 July 2020 (UTC)reply
Redirect all per Rorshacma. I too am a fam of cats, but a separate page of this type clutters the encyclopedia. Also, the various oldest (whatever animal, person, etc.) can be directed to the appropriate list to avoid a redlink.

Redirect all per good reasoning above. --
