Guinness World Records is waiting on final evidence before deciding whether Nepal's shortest man can be named the shortest in the world.

14-year-old Khagendra Thapa Magar is only 20 inches (50 centimeters) tall and weighs in at a mere 10 pounds (4.5 kilograms).

While Guinness does not have categories for shortest children, a person under 18 years old can be named the shortest man as long as it can be shown he is fully grown.

A spokesperson for Guinness said they were waiting on the final pieces of evidence, including birth certificate and doctors' reports, before making a decision.
