Found this promotional climbing BLP whose refs were either all blogs (youtube and personal) or defunct trekking companies. Zero SIGCOV in either mainstream UK RS or in the main climbing media (per WP:NCLIMBER). The text is pretty promotional and mostly done by an IP who developed the BLP and then left (probably the subject). Can't see this lasting long-term in Wikipedia; he has definitely no notability as a "mountaineer" for WP Climbing. Aszx5000 (talk) 15:35, 28 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. No evidence of notability. Quick research reveals nothing of importance. Fails WP:BLP. Ajf773 (talk) 09:57, 29 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Fails WP:NCLIMBER and WP:BLP. A quick google search shows the subject isn’t notable. - 🔥𝑰𝒍𝒍𝒖𝒔𝒊𝒐𝒏 𝑭𝒍𝒂𝒎𝒆 (𝒕𝒂𝒍𝒌)🔥 00:57, 5 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. The newspaper articles appear to be enough for notability. Eastmain (talk • contribs) 01:41, 5 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. The first source on the article is non-verifiable and looks like it may be an short interview for a newspaper, the second source barely mentions the subject by name, and the third mentions he climbed Matterhorn, is climbing Eiger, is a market researcher, and has climbed the tallest mountain on each continent. The Wiki article says he writes for the same local Newcastle newspaper, The Journal, that two of the sources are from. I can hardly find more about him. Nothing is in-depth and the WP:PROMOTION editing history on the article is significant. Saucysalsa30 (talk) 03:07, 5 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Delete fails WP:BLP. The person who loves reading (talk) 21:02, 10 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
