Talk:List of deaths on eight-thousanders

List and sources

Why is Karsang Namgyal Sherpa considered to have died of ams and not as we know from overdose of alcohol at Base Camp as we all know it and how it is also reported by sources like alan arnatte (also source for chinese climbers dead)? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 91.89.107.9 (talk) 21:02, 21 May 2012 (UTC)

This list is not at all complete, nor does it provide any sources. Excluding the current season, there have been 203 and 64 deaths on Everest and K2 respectively. Viewfinder 08:55, 27 May 2007 (UTC)

I agree, it doesn't list any sources. I am just starting this page and I am using a variety of Web sources, but I haven't yet had time to fill them in. Feel free to help! Greg Kuperberg 09:25, 27 May 2007 (UTC)

Thanks, I cannot really help as I am not an authority on this subject, and the main source that I am aware of is copyrighted. Please state your sources immediately, and stop expanding this article further until you have done so. If you do not do this, we cannot verify that your information is correct and copyright clean. Viewfinder 16:23, 27 May 2007 (UTC)

I added some sources for the old entries and I will add sources for my own new entries. But it's not true that you can't help. I am not an authority either. All you have to do to help is to Google the names on the page, say together with the year and the name of the mountain. That would be more constructive than just making demands. Greg Kuperberg 16:56, 27 May 2007 (UTC)

Greg, thanks for starting this list, I think it will become a very useful page. Viewfinder, you are correct that sources are crucial, but I do think your tone was somewhat peremptory. I'll see if I have any time to contribute to this list myself. -- Spireguy 20:33, 27 May 2007 (UTC)

I don't want to censure this list and I am sorry if I gave that impression. Infact, if it were all up to me the information would all be in the public domain. But it is not. This sort of thing should not be added to wikipedia without sources. If the climber has a wikipedia bio, and the information is in that bio, then a wikilink is adequate, but otherwise names should not be added to the page unless the source of the name is also added on the page at the same time, or the source is already listed as a general source in a reference section. Viewfinder 21:58, 27 May 2007 (UTC)

Are you sure that the copying of names off Everest fatalities and Everest fatalities is OK? I may be wrong, but I am inclined to doubt it. Viewfinder 22:03, 27 May 2007 (UTC)

If I copied a substantial part of the page from those two links, then I agree that it would be dubious with regard to copyright. But that isn't what I did. In fact, I only found those pages after many rounds of searches. Then I considered how those pages could be used defensibly. It seems to me that if you see a name on one of those lists, but then find and cite independent verification, then that has to be legitimate. Otherwise simply reading the copyrighted list would forever "taint" your work and prevent you from helping Wikipedia.

In fact, compiled lists are a well-known problem area in copyright law. The rules don't completely make sense, and probably they can't. Whoever made these two external list web pages probably wasn't nearly as careful about copyright as I am being. I would not be surprised if they were lifted from the Himalayan Database, edited by Elizabeth Hawley. We have to be free to duplicate her work, line by line, from online news sources; otherwise, again, the mere existence of her list would prevent us from making a good page. But it may be possible to get data from her with explicit approval; and it could save a lot of time. Greg Kuperberg 23:08, 27 May 2007 (UTC)

Also: I understand the concern about wholesale plagiariasm in Wikipedia. It happens. However, there are reasons to trust me that I didn't plagiarize: I'm not anonymous, and I have added a lot of citations already. In this case, I don't see what's so terrible about back-filling citations. Most of the initial data came from Wikipedia pages that don't have citations themselves, you know. Greg Kuperberg 23:12, 27 May 2007 (UTC)

Ok, if noone else objects then neither will I. But you should ensure that you cite the independent verification, and add it at the same time as the name. Viewfinder 23:17, 27 May 2007 (UTC)

We will never do away with concerns about copyright infringement on Wikipedia. If we want to be extremely anal, we would have to delete upwards of three quarters of the articles in Wikipedia. I have absolutely no problem with how this page is coming together. QuinnHK 04:34, 3 October 2007 (UTC)

Fake entry

I think, the "Laura Newman" entry in the list of Everest deaths is a fake, since searching for the name and "Everest" in Google lists nothing. The same IP added "Andy Lau" (a chinese pop artist) a few hours earlier, which was reverted later. --87.177.252.245 (talk) 00:14, 26 November 2007 (UTC)

Notable entries only please

http://www.everestsummiteersassociation.org/listofdeadoneverst.htm —Preceding unsigned comment added by 124.180.252.154 (talk) 02:20, 12 January 2009 (UTC)

Longstanding WP practices (spelled out at WP:BIO, WP:MOSLIST and numerous other places) limit list entries to notable entries only; accordingly I am going to begin the process of removing the non-notable names from the list.

Anyone considering adding a person to this list should keep in mind the following from the Wikipedia:Lists (stand-alone lists) guideline:

"Ideally each entry on the list should have a Wikipedia article but this is not required if it is reasonable to expect an article could be forthcoming in the future."

To test the reasonableness of your expectations, you may want to create the article on the person first and then add them to this list. UnitedStatesian (talk) 05:27, 28 November 2007 (UTC)

This is a draconian reading of the Wikipedia notability policy. Only a few hundred people have died climbing the eight-thousanders, and they are all notable precisely for that reason. Every time that someone dies on Mount Everest or the others, it's an interesting story. You have wiped out half of the interest in this page in order to adhere to the letter more than the spirit of the rules. Greg Kuperberg 00:50, 4 December 2007 (UTC)

Since we disagree, would you like me to get broader input to our issue on the talk page for WP:BIO? UnitedStatesian 04:52, 4 December 2007 (UTC)

I agree with Greg that removing the entries is too strict a reading of the guideline. Compare, for example, the List of minor characters in Dilbert (mentioned at Wikipedia:Lists (stand-alone lists)). How are those more notable than the people who died on Eight-thousanders? As to each individual's notability, almost every fatality on these peaks is noted in at least the American Alpine Journal, and almost always in other climbing journals and other sources. Equally important, the list of those who died on each peak is relevant information about that peak; it just happens to be collected here as well for convenience. I really think that this is a list where completeness (to the extent possible) is more reasonable than pruning for maximum notability.

I would be interested to hear other input from WP:BIO. -- Spireguy (talk) 19:47, 26 February 2008 (UTC)

We still need to come to a consensus on this issue. (I note that UnitedStatesian recently edited again on the basis of having only notable entries.) Here's a proposal: instead of just a bare list, perhaps what is needed is an article on "Deaths on eight-thousanders", with some overview and analysis, and (hopefully, eventually) complete lists. In that context, a complete list for each peak would be useful, e.g. one could perhaps look at the list for a certain peak and see if anyone from a particular country had died on that peak. Comments? -- Spireguy (talk) 14:39, 11 April 2008 (UTC)

My big issue is with verifiablity, a Wikipedia policy. There are sources on this page for the Everest deaths. If someone adds a blue link in one of the other mountains, I can go to the article and presumably get the source of their death. But a red link, with no sources? If someone adds Joe Mountaineer, and the link is unsourced and red? How can I know where that person died, that that person died, or that they even existed? This verifiablity issue is why I started an essay encouraging editors to Write the Article First. Comments welcome, here or there. UnitedStatesian (talk) 05:15, 12 April 2008 (UTC)

P.S. I think I read SG's comment as also suggesting expanding the information for each person on this list, like adding their nationality; I agree with any such expansion/ improvement; a sortable table would be a good method for soing so. UnitedStatesian (talk) 05:18, 12 April 2008 (UTC)

That's a valid concern, but in the end, your drastic deletions caused the problem that they were intended to prevent. I had carefully compiled outside sources for most of the names on the list that were removed, and the names were not red-linked because they were not linked at all. I will put them back today. Greg Kuperberg (talk) 13:57, 24 July 2008 (UTC)

But there is no consensus for your edits either, reading all the non-notable names; doing so is directly contrary to the WP:MOSLIST guideline. I think we need to get broader consensus, either at RfC, or through an AfD discussion. UnitedStatesian (talk) 14:31, 25 July 2008 (UTC)

Seeking a broader consensus with an RfC is fine. But in the meantime, please don't delete content that other people find both interesting and encyclopedic. Let me add that it took real work to compile this information. Our argument is that these people are notable as a group precisely because they died climbing the eight-thousanders. Many students of mountain-climbing see it the same way. Your interpretation of the guidelines seems to be first, that they are actually strict rules rather than common-sense guidelines; and second, that the deaths on the eight-thousanders are a trivia list that would stretch out to the horizon without a cutoff. Neither of these is the case.

For the same reason, invoking AfD discussion for this page is way too aggressive. Again, people think that the content is notable. The page has unique content that was published many times in encyclopedic form before Wikipedia even existed. Following your reasoning, you would have to delete half of the pages for Olympic Medalists. Greg Kuperberg (talk) 18:04, 25 July 2008 (UTC)

I'd like to add another comment to UnitedStatesian. I see that your page describes you as a "deletionist". I totally understand that philosophy and in principle I also agree with it. But the right way to be a deletionist is to prioritize. It isn't reasonable to just target pages at random that might be breaking the rules; you should instead go after the worst offenders. The long pages special page is rife with them. If you want to sack the List of Statutory Instruments of the United Kingdom, 1996, then I'll applaud you. That really is a ridiculous laundry list that can't possibly be useful to readers. In fact, it's only a tiny fraction of the real list, since it's only for one year. That content clearly belongs in a special-purpose database and not in Wikipedia.

You should consider the effect on both readers and editors if you throw the book at misdemeanors and ignore felonies in your effort to clean up Wikipedia. Greg Kuperberg (talk) 18:24, 25 July 2008 (UTC)

There are several differences between this page and the ones you cite. First, no matter how popular in the mountaineering community, eight-thousand meters is an arbitrary number (see WP:BIGNUMBER, and to your comment about putting in a lot of work, I definitely appreciate it, but see WP:EFFORT). Olympic Medalists are not arbitrary; you either won one or you didn't. Second, AfD after AfD has determined that how someone died does NOT make them notable. Third, I agree that List of Statutory Instruments of the United Kingdom, 1996 is an abomination, but it has already gone through 2 AfDs and survivied, so I accept community consensus and focus my attention elsewhere - I didn't think there were felonies and midemeanors on WP. All of this said, I am glad you agree that a broader consensus has desireable, and have not made (and will not make) any edits here before getting it: are you willing to make the same commitment to wait? I wish you hadn't simply let 3 months pass and then pretended my concern had magically disappeared. UnitedStatesian (talk) 18:42, 25 July 2008 (UTC)

First of all, 8000 meters is anything but an arbitrary cut-off. It may once have been arbitrary, but the 8000-meter peaks have long been recognized by the mountain-climbing community as a special class. There are books and web sites devoted specifically to these 14 peaks. It is the Olympics of extreme mountain-climbing; that is what the community picked.

Second, I'm not saying that the fashion in which these people died makes them notable. What I'm saying is that these deaths are all notable parts of the history of these important mountains. Moreover, many of the people listed here already do have Wikipedia pages and are notable in their own right. It is then both intellectually incomplete and insensitive to just list them and not the people who died with them. Is Wikipedia supposed to list Francys Arsentiev, because she's "famous", but not her husband Sergei who died looking for her? In context, it is this cutoff between "famous" and "not famous" that is arbitrary, and not the cutoff at 8000 meters. After all, many of the other people on this list were accomplished climbers and they are close to getting their own pages.

Third, these points beg the question of who exactly is "the community". There is the community of Wikipedia admins and high-activity editors, and there is the community of readers interested in a specific topic such as mountain-climbing. The former is supposed to consider the interests of the latter. You shouldn't just play an inside game of RfCs and AfDs.

On that note I have trouble believing that all of the inane pages on the long pages list, from poker odds to Japanese train stations, have survived AfD discussions. I just gave one example out of many before. Even for those have been defended from AfDs, many of these cases that are, as you say, abominations, and they undercut the credibility of Wikipedia insiders as a group. They go against the idea of reading guidelines as gospel.

Finally, the reason that I lost patience and started editing the page again is: (1) After you deleted content and promised a discussion, nobody followed up; (2) someone else came to support my original position; and (3) you said that the real concern was to avoid undocumented redlinks, which meant that the deletion caused the problem that it was intended to solve.

I would be happy to wait for a discussion, as long as there actually is one and as long as it isn't a game of "delete first and ask questions later". Greg Kuperberg (talk) 19:29, 25 July 2008 (UTC)

I see both points of view here as having merit, but I come down more on the side of keeping the entries. As I suggested above, I think of this page as the seed for a more thorough discussion of the topic of climbing deaths on 8000 meter peaks. To be accurate as a record of, say, which peaks have more deaths, it is best that it be complete (or as complete as possible). Certainly, it should be carefully sourced for verifiability, but evidently Greg is paying attention to that with his recent edits. Also, I agree with Greg that the 8000 meter group is a very commonly accepted special class; in fact most peaks in the 7800-8000 meter range, for example, are almost completely ignored after their first ascent, since they fail to reach the magic number. -- Spireguy (talk) 20:33, 25 July 2008 (UTC)

This is an idiotic article and complete listcruft. I agree that only verified and notable people should be included. Dying in the throes of the self-indulgent act of climbing a hunk of rock is not "notability". Purge the names of the nobodies and leave the Sir Edmunds. Erase everyone else.139.48.25.61 (talk) 14:59, 6 August 2008 (UTC)

Conceptual discussion would be great

I agree that it would be additional useful content to discuss why people die on these mountains. I am not an expert in mountain-climbing itself; I brushed up on these historical records just out of curiosity. In any case one reason that I made the page was as a sober counterpart to the overly dramatic near-death accounts such as "Into Thin Air". A clinical list of names, and a clinical discussion of what goes wrong, might teach people something about not rushing in where angels fear to tread. (Some of the dramatic stories somehow undermine the message and teach the opposite.) Greg Kuperberg (talk) 21:48, 25 July 2008 (UTC)

Has been added to WP:3O

Figure that was a good first step prior to RfC. UnitedStatesian (talk) 00:33, 27 July 2008 (UTC)

Sure, I don't mind, but wouldn't that in this case be a fourth opinion? Greg Kuperberg (talk) 04:05, 27 July 2008 (UTC)

Assume your tongue is firmly in cheek. UnitedStatesian (talk) 14:24, 27 July 2008 (UTC)

No it isn't. "Third opinion is a means to request an outside opinion in a dispute between two editors." But in this discussion, we already have Spireguy. Greg Kuperberg (talk) 14:31, 27 July 2008 (UTC)

Alright, I removed it from WP:3O, and will add it to RfC when I have a chance. UnitedStatesian (talk) 14:46, 27 July 2008 (UTC)

I'm still not against a discussion, but with the major news that 11 people died on K2, it makes little sense to suspend edits entirely this week. Greg Kuperberg (talk) 17:13, 4 August 2008 (UTC)

Agreed. UnitedStatesian (talk) 23:16, 4 August 2008 (UTC)

Lists are not copyrightable

It's my understanding that lists, as lists, are not copyrightable, based on the idea that information is free, but the way information is arranged can be privately owned. If I list the chemical elements, from lightest to heaviest, I cannot copyright that list. It's only if I give them, for example, cute names, like Holly the Hydrogen atom, Oxy Oxygen, Beryl Beryllium (the sultry wench), and Pluto Plutonium and His Stray Electrons that I could copyright my list. Sincerely, with tongue in cheek, GeorgeLouis (talk) 06:14, 27 July 2008 (UTC)

I suck at this, help?

I came to add Rich Hitch to the list but it's already been done without a source. I don't know how to add sources so many someone else can do it? Here is the entry at everest news http://www.everestnews.com/stories2011/deathoneverest05042011.htm and here is an article about him in a local newspaper http://www.news10.net/news/article/136307/29/Roseville-mountain-climber-dies-on-Mt-Everest. Thank you! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 90.220.190.202 (talk) 11:10, 9 May 2011 (UTC)

Done. The way I do inline citations is I click to position the cursor marker directly behind what I want to cite. Then I click on below the edit window. Copy/paste the citation data in between the <refs> so it looks like this:

1 May 2011 - Rick Hitch

Hit save and Wikipedia takes care of the rest. It automatically displays a footnote and adds your citation to the section with the reflist, assuming there already is one. Hope this helps. Racerx11 (talk) 12:32, 9 May 2011 (UTC)

Haha, classic. I forgot how to show just the text code without it actually functioning. Im trying to help, but I guess I suck too. Anyway, you can see how this is done in the edit window. That's how I learned. I looked aat the edit window where someone else already did what I wanted to do and copied that. Racerx11 (talk) 12:40, 9 May 2011 (UTC)

Lets try this again. The way I do inline citations is I click to position the cursor marker directly behind what I want to cite. Then I click on <ref></ref> below the edit window. Copy/paste the citation data in between the <refs> so it looks like this:

1 May 2011 - Rick Hitch<ref>http://www.everestnews.com/stories2011/deathoneverest05042011.htm</ref>

Hit save and Wikipedia takes care of the rest. It automatically displays a footnote and adds your citation to the section with the {reflist}, assuming there already is one. Hope this helps and not completely confusing. Racerx11 (talk) 13:10, 9 May 2011 (UTC)

Underconstruction

FYI, I've added the {{Underconstruction}} template so other visiting editors are aware of the fact this page is being worked upon. I'll do my best to add some of the knowledge taht I have on K2 later on. Qwrk (talk) 15:56, 8 June 2011 (UTC)

I've posted a kind thank you note and a request on User talk:81.82.149.236‎. Though I highly appreciate the effort of the contributions I must make one remark. Many references appear to point to adventurestats and I'd like to add a little to your knowledge. The original basis of adventurestats is the work of Eberhard Jurgalski and after relations turned a bit sour he decided to break free and stop the cooperation. After that split the data of adventurestats became (more) unreliable (sorry to say so) and the degree of reliability of 8000ers.com (Eberhard's site) has proved to be far more consistent and trustworthy. Hence my preference for data stemming from the 8000ers.com PDF's.

Another thing while we're at it; Flags... I know that when we do take to the other mountains we's going to have issues with nationalities / flags to be used. Some climbers (IMHO) really need a Yugoslav flag behind their name, dating from before the break up to the federation. Like the German climbers that fell on Nanga in the 30's should have a Nazi flag, as that was their state of origin.

Just a thought... Qwrk (talk) 09:01, 9 June 2011 (UTC)

I second that. Thanks to the IP who put in the effort, it is appreciated. I don't think having a Nazi / Yugoslav flag is a slur on the climbers reputations either. A similar thing can be said about the Irish. That's the country they came from at the time, which should be reflected in the data.Bezza84 (talk) 12:55, 9 June 2011 (UTC)

Tried contacting that Belgian IP-editor, actually there were 2 of them, but I suspect it's one and the same person. As yet to no avail, so I took out the remark again.

As for references - and me not being a programmer - I'm unsure how to combine all the references in the Lhotse section that all point to the Lhotse fatalities PDF on 8000ers.com, so any hint is welcome. (Else I will look into it when I do find time.) Another issue with regards to Lhotse is the fatalities listed for Lhotse South. Shall I merge them, you reckon'? Similar cases apply to Kangchenjunga as well as there are fatalities that just came out to climb Yalung Kang. Qwrk (talk) 08:24, 10 June 2011 (UTC)

No drama's. The easiest way is to use the cite tool within the editor window. If you look up the top, you'll see tabs saying 'advanced', 'special characters', 'help', and 'cite'. Click on cite, then on the templates drop menu click 'cite web'. You insert as much data as you can, and assign the reference a name. When referencing this entry in future, you type in < ref name="name of the reference">< / ref>. Try to keep the names short and meaningful. I've done the K2 table as an example, renaming the reference to 8000k2. Hope that helps. Bezza84 (talk) 14:18, 10 June 2011 (UTC)

Forgot to add, yeah - i'd be inclined to put them all in the same category. Still the same mountain, just a different route. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Bezza84 (talk • contribs) 14:22, 10 June 2011 (UTC)

Bezza84, I'm amazed at what speed you appear to be doing this. Gob smacked might be a more appropriate term ;-) The article starts off with a note stating This is a list of some of the notable mountain climbers who have perished on these mountains., but IMHO transferring data from the PDF's and other sources will result in a list that more or less lists all climbers that have perished. Do we alter the accompanying note or do we weed out those not fitting the definition of notability, and if so, what's the definition for that anyway? Qwrk (talk) 10:36, 11 June 2011 (UTC)

Lol, cheers. I've developed a few tricks to help me code quickly. A few other editors had the discussion about notability shortly after the article's creation. I personally believe that every single person who makes the effort to climb one of these mountains, and pays the ultimate price in the process, is notable. I thought about inserting a column to indicate whether or not the individual successfully submitted or not, but I felt that this detracted from the loss of the climber (as if by failing to summit, their loss was not as noteworthy). In my opinion, the introduction needs to be re-worded. Bezza84 (talk) 02:02, 12 June 2011 (UTC)

Another thing, part 1; there appears to be a problem with "reference C" (number 92). I've had a look at it but don't see what's wrong with its code.

I'll have a look at it a bit later on. The original reference might have been deleted accidentally... Bezza84 (talk) 02:02, 12 June 2011 (UTC)

Another thing, part 2; how are we going to sync activities? How do we make sure that all mountains and all climbers are entered at the correct place and correct date? Is there a way to add a check box where one can tick when one has entered all relevant data available?

I don't think there is a check-box function. I think the best way to approach it will be through observing the references. No reference, or dependance upon a singular widely referenced source, suggests that the data might not be reliable. Bezza84 (talk) 02:02, 12 June 2011 (UTC)

Another thing, part 3; is it possible to move the pictures up a wee bit so the column width increases? shift it to the left, maybe?

I believe that the image boxes and column widths automatically adjust. I intend to include a brief overview of each tragedy that has befallen the mountain, which will push the table down beneath the image anyway. Bezza84 (talk) 02:02, 12 June 2011 (UTC)

Qwrk (talk) 11:30, 11 June 2011 (UTC)

Made a few corrections for Yugoslavia and Czechoslovakia but I'm in doubt whether to continue. Would one also correct the Khazaks of the early 90's / late 80's to fit the USSR flag? And in my earlier comment I changed "shit" to "shift" which, of course, was a typo ;-) Qwrk (talk) 08:39, 12 June 2011 (UTC)

One idea might be to take out the template once you have finished entering all names from the PDF's or other sources?Qwrk (talk) 08:51, 12 June 2011 (UTC)

UK flags

The United Kingdom flags within the tables should really reflect the states, and not the Kingdom. The UK is like the European Union - no one is born in the UK, they are born in England, Wales, Scotland or Ireland (which each have their respective flags). Refer to this image for more clarification: File:Nations_of_the_UK.png Bezza84 (talk) 14:35, 10 June 2011 (UTC)

As far as I know, people born in England, Scotland, Wales and N. Ireland are british citizens, therefore the UK-flag should be okay. I've never heard of a scotish passport for example. And thats what I've to critize: why do spanish mountaineers have the spanish flag and the flag of their region?

It seemed counter-intuitive to me at first, but the Olympics classifies them as UK citizens as well so I concede the point. I've changed the flags in the list to reflect this. Bezza84 (talk) 07:39, 13 June 2011 (UTC)

And because we are on the subject: Hermann Schaller (died 9th August 1931, Kangchenjunga) is represented with a Nazi German flag. But Nazi Germany didnt existed until 30th January 1933. So he was propably citizen of the Weimar republic. 91.64.105.20 (talk) 00:43, 13 June 2011 (UTC)

You're right. I'll look into it later on. For an informative clip on The Difference between the United Kingdom, Great Britain and England Explained in 5 Minutes check this. Qwrk (talk) 05:20, 13 June 2011 (UTC)

I can't seem to find the correct code for the Weimar flag, so any help is appreciated. Similar issues arise with three Khazak nationals on Manaslu (1990); what to do with these? Qwrk (talk) 06:34, 13 June 2011 (UTC)

The flag of the Weimar republic looks pretty much like the actual german one, but with a 3:2 ratio instead of 5:3. Weimar Republic 91.64.105.20 (talk) 14:48, 13 June 2011 (UTC)

Thanks for that edit. Highly appreciated!

And a question on top of that, while we're at it; is there a more appropriate term for the era that now has the flags listed as "Nazi Germany"? Especially on Nanga Parbat I do have a stack of books in which this flag is displayed without any inhibition, but I'd be all for it were we to change it in any other applicable term. Qwrk (talk) 20:22, 13 June 2011 (UTC)

From 1871 to 1945 the official name of Germany was "Deutsches Reich" (German Reich). From 1943 to 1945 it called itself "Großdeutsches Reich" (Greater German Reich), but that was never officially proclaimed. There were three periods, the German Empire from 1871-1918, the Weimar Republic(1918-1933) and the Third Reich (1933-1945), but I doubt these were ever names in the sense of the international law. 91.64.105.20 (talk) 02:24, 14 June 2011 (UTC)

Age?

I can find absolutely no citation that Shailendra Kumar Upadhyaya died of "Age" on Everest this year. I found indications that he died from altitude sickness aggravated by high blood pressure. Yes, he was 82 years old, but how do we get that he died of "Age" as a result? -Etoile ✩ (talk) 02:24, 17 November 2011 (UTC)

I have just made some corrections and additions on the list, including two deaths during the 1921 Everest expedition. These two deaths happened on the way to BC. The Himalayan Database include them in its list of fatalities, while 8000ers.com doesn't.

Both options can be justified, it would just be good to have a consistent policy whether deaths during the approach to BC should be included or not. Any help appreciated.--Pseudois (talk) 14:28, 23 November 2011 (UTC)

Good question, thanks for that. I'm not sure why Eberhard [8000ers.com] doesn't list these so I'd have to go and check with him. It may be that HimDat does mention these as they'd be compiling stories from the literature they have access to. Will be back about this, and thanks again. Qwrk (talk) 23:37, 23 November 2011 (UTC)

Update, as Eberhard is quick in replying;

"In my list only those who die at base camp level, and higher up, of the mountain they intended climbing, and not those who die on the march in or march back, unless their death is a result from injuries sustained on the mountain (the base camp and above)! Kellas, for example, died about 100 km from Everest, so why should he be considered a victim of Everest?"

My suspicion is that Ms. Liz and Richard sum up all those who are listed as expedition members, either in reports or in literature. It's not even 6am right now in Kathmandu, so questioning them should come at another moment in time.

I'm inclined to favour Eberhard's approach, as we'd run the risk having to list all those who died whilst preparing for their expedition. Qwrk (talk) 01:53, 24 November 2011 (UTC)

That perfectly fine with me, so let's stick to Eberhard's definition. I have removed my own addition regarding the two Everest deaths in 1921.--Pseudois (talk) 06:35, 5 January 2012 (UTC)

Naming convention for South-Korean climbers.

G'day all,

I have an issue with which I could use some help, please.

Whilst doing corrections for a well known climbing magazine the issue was raised on what type of naming convention to use for South-Korean mountaineers. Wikipedia has a style in place which is the opposite of what's in use in mountaineering literature.

- The Himalayan Database [Liz Hawley] is using the "given name - surname" style of writing for the Koreans like it does with all other nationalities.
- Eberhard Jurgalski [8000ers.com] has the same method.
- Richard Sale; likewise.

A specialist on Korean writing gave us a little lecture about these names, so I'd like to propose changing these names to make them consistent and in line with the western style of notation.
Go Mi-Sun (or Go Mi-Yeong?) - would be written as; Mi-Young Go
Kim Jae-Soo - would be written as; Jae-Soo Kim
Oh Eun-Sun - would be written as; Eun-Sun Oh etc.

Dubious causes of death

"Frostbite" is not really a cause of death, this is a possible confusion with hypothermia, which is. Similarly, "exposure" is this context seems to be used as a synonym for hypothermia. Also, "disappearance" is not a cause of death, uses of "disappearance" could perhaps be changed to "unknown (disappeared)" or something similar so that the same information can be presented without mangling English too badly.

2013 Nanga Parbat tourist shooting

There seems to be a need to debate whether the victims of this incident should be included on this page. As I see it the argument would revolve around whether deaths at base camp count as climbing the mountain, whether this article is just about climbing deaths or not and whether any such mention is an attempt to use the sport to further political aims and if so whether that should happen, or not. What do you think? Britmax (talk) 07:53, 5 August 2013 (UTC)

After a month or so with no reply I would assume that everyone is happy with the status quo. Britmax (talk) 08:40, 15 September 2013 (UTC)

Sorry that I'm late with this reply; I simply missed this topic.

In the statistics of 8000ers.com the general rule of thumb is that all people who perish at or above BC are listed. Even when this is a "new category" of fatalities - and let's hope these are the last to fit this description - the fact that they were already climbing the mountain warrants their inclusion. Hope this helps.

Qwrk (talk) 09:16, 15 September 2013 (UTC)

Thanks for that. No problem with not having seen this before, this place is a maze. Britmax (talk) 09:24, 15 September 2013 (UTC)

Regarding this recent edit. My understanding is that the intent here is to list all deaths that have occurred while climbing the 14 peaks with summit elevations of 8000 m plus, regardless of the elevation of the fatality itself, with base camp being the cutoff. So we are including any fatality, whether it be from exposure, illness, avalanche, technical malfunction or gun shot, as long as the cause of death occurs at or above the elevation of the given mountain's base camp. Is this correct? --RacerX¹¹ Talk to me^{Stalk me} 22:04, 16 September 2013 (UTC)

They were all in the process of climbing the mountain when these shootings occurred, so that's the rationale of including them. I could even go as far as suggesting to include all who died as a result from climbing an 8000er, because an Australian acquaintance - Mick Parker - died in 2009 of pulmonary oedema a couple of days after having returned from Makalu, while he was already back in KTM. Qwrk (talk) 05:26, 17 September 2013 (UTC)

Racer, thanks for framing a question for discussion. I think you understand the problem. I'd agree with the idea that, unfortunately, due to geopolitical realities, mountaineers face risks that might be seen by some as new and unprecedented. Frankly, in more than one historic expedition, there have been stories that might be interpreted as instances in which one or more climbers leave another for dead for little reason other than geopolitical issues. Or selfish issues of debatable political significance. Ultimately, the problem for us at WP is the question of whether we want to be digging through conflicting reliable sources for the appropriate article that reliably collects relevant evidence of circumstances and reliably analyzes that evidence to pronounce a cause of death that fits some criteria we might set. I don't think that would ever work. Lots of climbers have been left behind at high locations for remarkably dumb and perhaps political reasons. Some of those are left for good reasons that are unfairly seen as political. Some are refused some necessary assistance, be it first aid, sustenance, water, whatever. Some have their essential gear taken. WP should not be culling through "reliable sources" to decide whether that death was attributable to the conduct of others, let alone deciding whether that conduct rises to the level of homicide and therefore might not "count". My thought is that the criteria is whether a climber's death occurred at basecamp or above. Steveozone (talk) 06:24, 17 September 2013 (UTC)

It does not seem that Nima Tshering Sherpa has died

I'm not certain if this is the place for it, but it seems that a source was used to provide evidence of the death of Nima Tshering Sherpa on Makalu on May 24 2019 with no cause of death noted. However, after doing further research, it seems that a successful GoFundMe was created by Marina Cortes in May/June of 2019 to support Nima Tshering Sherpa with his injuries and his family as he was unable to work. There are photos of Nima Tshering Sherpa collecting the money along with pictures of his recovery. You can find this information by typing in "Nima Tshering Sherpa" AND "gofundme" into google.

The source used in wiki seems to have been published on May 24, 2019 with unconfirmed information.

I believe his name should be removed from this list for the time being and further investigation should be conducted, if possible.

Thank you!

hi,

due to the update of the himalayan database (see several new topics on the TALK) this seems to be correct. Nima Tshering Sherpa disappeared from the Makalu record, instead the update shows Nima Tenji Sherpa (Makalu-Barun) to have died on 2019, 24 May (same date, but - different person? type-o in the name? different spelling/transcription of the name? I don't know ...). I couldn't figure that one aut explicitely, but pls enjoy the updates I gave below.

The table: col1 Summit (name), col2 successful ascents, col3 fatalities, col4 fatals/ascents in %, col5 fatals on secondary peaks, col6 Percentage of total fatals/ascents. Clearly, Annapurna, Dhaulagiri and the famous "Kangch" are the most dangerous mountains in these terms. Only in very recent years the fatality rate of Annapurna dropped below 20%, but including the fatals on the secondary summits runs her again to a ratio of nearly 1:4 - one dead body by 4 ascents.

Unfortunately I do not have access to the figures of total ascents in Karakorum (K2, Nanga Parbat etc). But this might be added by one of you guys.

Adding up all given figures you can see an average rate of roughly 1 death by 20 ascents (~5 - 5,5%) with the Karakorum data missing. You might take a look at the sources of the 8000er page here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eight-thousander - but ist's accurate only up to 2012, and the "Kangch" is completely missing (strange! One of the most interesting ones - just gone!!). I couldn't figure it out by now, but I'm still working on it.

Enjoy! Best regards, Wolfgang. 176.199.208.85 (talk) 14:00, 29 November 2023 (UTC)
