Tom Higgins (rock climber)

 * — (View AfD)

Nominated for deletion by PWdiamond with reason: "This article does not appear to meet Wikipedia's standards for notability. Please research WP:BIO for more information." This is a procedural nomination - my opinion is Neutral, although I should point out that this is a conversion from an uncontested, expired, prod to an AfD by the original prod nominator - It may just be a misunderstanding of the process on PWdiamond's part.

 * Keep. I had not heard of this guy before having only a slight interest in climbing and that mainly in UK. It seems to me that his climbs and his writing on climbing do make him notable. Perhaps not quite up to the notability of Joe Brown (climber) or Don Whillans but notable nevertheless. However, the article does need cleaning up. --Bduke 23:12, 28 December 2006 (UTC)

 * Keep Assuming good faith on the print-book references, seems like he's a notable figure in his sport. Tarinth 13:35, 2 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep Seems notable enough to me, and he is mentioned on the Bob Kamps page as a climbing partner. Agreed that some clean-up is needed, but otherwise a good article.  Emeraude 14:15, 2 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep I am a USA climber. Higgins is noteworthy, but yes, the article needs to be wikified. I'll help (just not tonight, dear, I have a headache). Ratagonia 02:32, 5 January 2007 (UTC)
