Hello all,

Through AfC, I have just made a new draft for Eric Gilbertson (climber). Gilbertson is a mountaineer aiming to reach the highest mountain in every country in the world.

I have a COI with Eric (as I have talked with him several times on zoom about highpointing). I had previously published an article about him in the main space, but poor sourcing and lots of fluff led to the article being deleted.

However, I have done my best to rewrite the article with less fluff and better sourcing, and reducing reliance on his blog. Gilbertson has had plenty of secondary coverage and interviews with well-known news sources.

Examples: Nat Geo Poland, BBC, The Times, Tages Anzeiger in Switzerland, and Sueddeutsche Zeitung in Germany. He was also mentioned in LA Times and The France 24 Observers.

Gilbertson also has work published in the American Alpine Club. While blogs do not constitute reliable, independent sources, he has been interviewed by Alan Arnette and Francis Tapon. He has also gotten a lot of recent coverage on a Mount Rainier survey he did a few months ago (i.e: Seattle Times, Seattle Met, Newsweek, GearJunkie).

Given my COI, figured I'd pass the baton to you all to determine if this article belongs in the mainspace.

You need at least one artice from a quality source that is mainly about Eric, which is WP:SIGCOV. Without that, you can appeal to WP:BASIC, which is that he is widely known in his domain, but that is weaker. If National Geographic, Climbing, or a major US national newspaper covered him as a notable subject, then you have a good platform. Without that, it will always be subject to challenge on the basis that if the quality media don't find him notable as a subject, why would Wikipedia? 95.45.158.57 (talk) 11:50, 26 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
