Draft:Unknown facts about Mt.Everest


Poorly written "facts" article relying on only one source. Surely any notable info about Mount Everest can be added into the established mainspace article? CoolSkittle (talk) 01:21, 23 November 2018 (UTC)
 * Delete I knew about half the facts so they are hardly "unknown". Zero chance this will become an article. Legacypac (talk) 04:26, 23 November 2018 (UTC)
 * Redirect to Mount Everest. This page is not a terrible newcomer test. It is our fault that newcomers are tempted into thinking they should write new topics.  They should instead be encouraged to improve mainspace. Send the newcomer to their topic of interest, to read and see if it can be improved. The content of their first edits doesn’t need deleting. —SmokeyJoe (talk) 09:47, 23 November 2018 (UTC)
 * The newcomer’s source was http://www.alanarnette.com/kids/everestfacts.php
 * This is not a reliable source, but it is full of interesting stuff that the newcomer might look for real sources, WP:RS, for adding missing information to the mainspace article. I’d like for the deletion of this page to not be read as unwelcoming to the newcomer.  —SmokeyJoe (talk) 08:16, 24 November 2018 (UTC)


 * Delete content fork or user's notes about topic which we already have an article. jni (delete)...just not interested 11:28, 23 November 2018 (UTC)
 * Delete - Not a likely search title and so no point to redirect. It isn't the worst first effort ever, but various editors including SJ have pointed out that new editors would be better off to edit existing articles first and get experience.  The submitter could try sourcing the facts and adding any that aren't in Mount Everest to it.  Robert McClenon (talk) 06:53, 24 November 2018 (UTC)
