A truly dreadful autobiographical article, with nothing in the way of reliable sources about the subject apart from an article in his local newspaper. According to Seven Summits over 300 people have climbed the 7 summits, so this is no longer an exceptional achievment. It fact the article seems a vehicle to hang publicity for his organisation, Global H20 (of which there is a separate draft waiting at AfC). Time for this article to go, I'm afraid, failing WP:GNG in all respects. Sionk (talk) 19:46, 6 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Agree with the nomination. I have searched for sources which could demonstrate notability but couldn't find even brief mentions. SmartSE (talk) 15:37, 7 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Delete, I have no idea what to make of http://www.everestnews.com, but it doesn't appear to be a legitimate source and hasn't been updated in two years. He does have a local news mention, but that describes him as Raleigh man and doesn't support any of the grand claims of this article. Fails GNG. SalHamton (talk) 22:18, 13 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
