Does height ranking count as "original research?"

Hello! I've never contributed to a talk page before, so please let me know if I'm inadvertently flouting any rules.

I found this article through the Random Article button, looking for something that might need some contributions. After diving down the rabbit hole trying to find out as much information as I could on this topic, I'm pretty confident concluding that Mount Blackwelder is the second-highest peak in the Wilkness Mountains, based primarily on the New Zealand Gazetteer Antarctic map search tool.^[1] I verified as much by reviewing the topography of the range using the Reference Elevation Model of Antarctica.^[2]

Now, since the height ranking of Mount Blackwelder isn't explicitly stated in any source I've been able to find, the case could be made that the height ranking constitutes "original research" and would be ineligible for inclusion in this article. On the other hand, the height ranking could be considered "present" in those maps, in some sense, even if the different peaks aren't formally listed by elevation.

I think the height ranking of this mountain is interesting and potentially useful, and would help expand the article from a stub into something more substantial, but in keeping with the editing guidelines I figured I'd share my thoughts here and ask for input from the community. I'd love to hear what others are thinking on this topic — it could potentially help to expand the articles for other, similarly lesser-known mountains in this range.

Thanks!

I'm back to include a link to my sandbox, where you'll find a thoroughly revised draft of this article. I haven't made any of those proposed edits to the article yet — I'd hate to break any rules or step on any toes — so I'll wait a few days to see if anyone notices/finds/comments on this page. If I still don't get any feedback then, I'll put in the edits, and leave this as a record of my decision. PlacidEchidna (talk) 07:23, 21 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
