 * I think Wikipedia should keep the article. Do not delete. I do not know the person but I love the mountains. I think that having the achievement "measurement height of a mountain" is pretty merit and also if it is the highest mountain of a country. 200.124.121.24 (talk) 19:28, 11 August 2016 (UTC)
 * Your reference is a WP:MIRROR of the wikipedia article. Do you have anything else? Kuru   (talk)  12:06, 12 August 2016 (UTC)
 * Mirror of another Wikipedia article! My mistake, better reference:Pérez et al (Sep. 2005) & IGVSB (2003).  Bolivar is a Ultra-prominent peak, very high altitude and close of extreme altitude. To reach that peak must climb high rock walls and depending on weather conditions with snow and ice. The mountain has taken many strong and skilled climbers lives.  That mountain require intensive training. Storms can suddenly occur. The weather can change for no apparent reason. The peak is at a wind convergence zone. At 16330 ft the technicals of the climb are not to be underestimated. Pressure decreases exponentially with altitude, it is about half of its sea-level value at 16,000 ft.  When you are at 16,330 you are in  high risk of High-altitude cerebral edema, HACE occurs in 0.5% to 1% of people who climb or trek between 13,000 ft and 16,000 ft. 200.124.121.24 (talk) 17:06, 16 August 2016 (UTC)


 * The person's research includes the altitude of the highest mountain in a country, has made significant impact in their scholarly discipline broadly construed. Because should be in every geography book.
 * Just a quick search on the web. We can find in all this pages, "measurement was made by Diego Deiros" only in this topic, World Heritage Encyclopedia "Pico Bolívar is the highest mountain in Venezuela"; Seen2; Jsonpedia. Digplanet Geography of Mérida. World library. Gutenberg. Schoolserver. Wow. Wiki2. Medlibrary. and, The Government Agency of National Cartography mentioned literally that the data used to put the official altitude of Venezuela was measure by Diego Deiros and another two geoscientist. is demonstrated by independent reliable sources.
 * This altitude value should have been taken as a parameter for construction in the close city, for example: probably for the cableway of Merida, calculation of sunset and sunrise there. Also, is in the climber blogs, country tourism pages,  they are mentioning the person, some times. Has made substantial impact outside academia in their academic capacity.  Additionally. The person was a elected member of the university board of governors of the University Simon Bolivar in the period 2000-2001, has held a highest-level elected or appointed academic post at a major academic institution or major academic society. Perhaps less relevant, tutor in engineering thesis and their papers are used in many thesis bibliographies. Biographer1950 (talk) 05:07, 12 August 2016 (UTC)
 * Let's not do quick searches. That's one reference to Wikipedia, ten to Wikipedia mirrors (most clearly identified), one to a forum post, and one to a blog. The only one that would qualify as a reliable source is the Government Agency of National Cartography "mention", but it's just that: a mention. Are there any sources for the rest?

 * Thanks for the information Kuru. Here's another reference: refereed journal Interciencia from the Venezuelan Institute for Scientific Research. I am not sure if the newspapers can also be taken as references, but was in the two the most widely read and circulated daily national newspapers of this country.
