369:" as a term of art referring to the threshold of coverage necessary for inclusion. This subject's claimed age during the era he lived in may be rare or distinctive or even interesting, but those characteristics do not make him notable, as the term is used here. As a separate problem, adequate and reliable documentation for longevity claims before the 20th century (and, often, even then) is generally not considered to exist; it is impossible to distinguish legitimately long-lived 16th century people from spurious claims of long life (of which there are many).
635:"Remarkable" is not the same as "something that multiple independent reliable sources have been written about". Nowadays, very old people are the subject of human interest newspaper stories. They didn't have human interest newspaper stories in the 16th century. Notable people from the past have generally been written about at least a few times centuries after their death. There is no evidence that this is the case with this chap.
621:. None of the people in that list have done anything significant or noteworthy - other than living for a long, long time. As has been said above, while living to be 97 may not be a huge deal today, living to be 97 in an era when the average lifespan was about 40 is nothing short of remarkable. And, it's not terribly surprising that sources from that era (roughly 500 years ago) are not available online!
576:. There is nothing in the article to suggest that any significant independent sources will be found. We don't even have a reliable source for the fact that he lived to 97 - could be the result of a typo somewhere along the line. Even if it's not, where is the evidence that people in the C16th wrote about other people just because of their age?
197:
No assertion of notability made save perhaps one of advanced age for the 16th century, and I was unable to find reliable, secondary sources which would provide evidence of notability. Still, historical figures sometimes rely to a greater degree on offline sources, so additional sources welcome, as
446:
This guy did nothing of note. He was the some-great-grandfather of a notable person, that is it. I am all for keeping articles on historic people, Knowledge (XXG) is far too presentist, but this guy is totally not notable. He did nothing, held no positions, as far as I can tell wrote nothing,
465:
Living to be 97 is a big deal today, and was an even bigger deal in the 1500s, when the life expectancy was about 40. Given that most sources about him are likely to be print or handwritten sources in foreign languages, I think the best approach is to keep the article and try to expand it.
213:, and contemplate an A7 speedy. Personally, I wouldn't be generous enough to consider his lifespan an implicit claim of notability, and his relationship to Hans Jacob Hess is certainly not one. Speedy requirements notwithstanding, I don't see any appropriate sources here, either.
653:. Badly sourced article lacking any indication that this is a person of historical interest. As for the claimed age at death, two of the web pages linked above appear to be honest enough to represent the birth year of Johannes/Hans
166:
661:
these (estimated) dates were calculated. As far as any of us can tell, this
Johannes/Hans (who was almost certainly never called "Johannes Hans") may well have been born a decade or two later than 1458.
390:- I'd imagine finding sources dating back 460 years ago is going to be pretty hard, The source so far isn't perfect but it's better than nothing, So I say Keep & Try improving more sources. -
302:- A lifespan of more than 95 years is very rare, even today. And plenty of independent sources about him, even online. My friend (a direct patrilineal descendant) has some papers on him.
320:
If you have other sources that might help establish notability you should add them. I couldn't find any and right now this article still looks like a good A-7 candidate to me. -

Where exactly do you see the notability justifying a "strong keep?" As far as I can tell there is nothing here beyond evidence that he existed. -
