I have submitted this draft for neutral editors to review to see if it belongs in the main space. I did my best to reduce fluff and self-published sources, which was the reason the article was previously deleted.)

Notability Criterion and WP:THREE

Hello all,

I believe the page may meet the following WP:ANYBIO criteria:

#1: The subject has received the Snow Leopard Award, a well-known mountaineering award given to any climber that summits the five 7,000 metre Snow Leopard Peaks of the former Soviet Union. This potentially could satisfy WP:SPORTSPERSON as well.

#2: The subject recently conducted an unofficial survey of Mount Rainier that garnered significant media attention as shown through a google search. This could potentially be seen as a widely recognized contribution should the results be verified by the U.S. government, though it is not in historical records just yet.

As for WP:BASIC criteria, see my WP:THREE best sources below. More reliable sources are out there, but they are more interview-heavy than the ones below.

1) National Geographic Poland (Mixture of quotes and original text)

2) The Times of London (Mixture of interview quotes and original text)

3) American Alpine Club (Note: the first segment of the article contains an excerpt of content written by the subject, while the rest is independently written by an author).
