Non notable mountaineer. Only article is in National Geographic for one event only in tibet. Does not pass notability guidelines for athletes either (nothing won, no professional competition). Article reads like CV, contains no references. Google news search returns no reliable sources except for previous mentioned and user-written mountaineering blogs. 9 in total.

• Delete. Other than the above cited NGS site (and that is as infinitessimal a mention as I've seen), I could find nothing that was not a mirror of either his website or of this Wikipedia article. Unschool 05:42, 4 January 2009 (UTC)

• Keep. Corax has many first ascents. The mountains may not be well known, but they are independent 6000 m summits and are among the world's most remote and inaccessible. I have overhauled the article, removed some puffery and added new material and references, including independent references. I hope this will satisfy the above critics. The claim that the NGS mention is infinitessimal is incorrect, but subscription is needed to purchase the detail that was published in the magazine. Viewfinder (talk) 12:38, 5 January 2009 (UTC)
• Keep sufficient accomplishments to be notable. Sourcing is just adequate. DGG (talk) 19:07, 5 January 2009 (UTC)
• Keep. The sources in the article along with the National Geographic source linked above (the link is to the table of contents showing that a full article is available) are enough to show notability. There's a bit more coverage in a South African newspaper here. Phil Bridger (talk) 15:46, 7 January 2009 (UTC)
