 * Pictogram voting keep.svg Every once in a while you see a nominated article on DYK and you get slightly stunned at the fact that it's a newly created article. How on earth is the article on first successful ascent of Mount Everest only three days old? Crazy really! Anyway, the article meets all the requirements for DYK, with the hook directly cited in an offline source. Good to go. Miyagawa (talk ) 18:23, 19 December 2012
 * It struck me as a surprising gap when I noticed it. I think it may have been overlooked because the related pages were using a redirect at 1953 British Everest Expedition to Timeline of climbing Mount Everest. Moonraker (talk) 19:18, 19 December 2012 (UTC)
