Mirza Ali (Mountaineer)

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

No evidence that this is a notable mountaineer. Reference provided shows that Samina Baig has notability as the first Pakistani woman to scale Mount Everest but Mirza Ali's achievement as "the third and youngest Pakistani male" is not. The article says that 35 foreigners and 29 Nepalese Sherpas reached the peak in this single climb. Climbing Mt Everest is not a particularly notable thing in 2013. Fails via WP:N and probably WP:BLP1E. Tassedethe (talk) 00:19, 14 September 2013 (UTC)

 * Redirect to Samina Baig There's plenty of coverage about his sister on the same expedition. Mirza did not even make it to the summit, so claiming he climbed Mount Everest is misleading.204.126.132.231 (talk) 19:42, 19 September 2013 (UTC)
 * Redirect to Samina Baig. I didn't find much coverage outside of the Everest climb, and that generally focuses on his sister. A redirect seems reasonable. --Michig (talk) 06:47, 21 September 2013 (UTC)
