Change Nationality from 'Nepalese Indian' to just Nepalese. DebianMonkey (talk) 12:22, 7 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

 Not done for now: please establish a consensus for this alteration before using the {{Edit semi-protected}} template. Nationality changes are always contentious. According the the article and sources he was of both Nepalese and Indian nationality. ScottishFinnishRadish (talk) 22:11, 7 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Uncited Shipton reference

[edit]

Please update the missing citation at the end of the first paragraph of the Mountaineering section with citation to Eric Shipton's autobiography, That Untravelled World. My copy does not have page numbers but in Chapter 4, "Himalayan Hey-Day," Shipton writes: "There was another prophetic incident. From a hundred applicants, we chose fifteen Sherpas to accompany the expedition from Darjeeling. Nearly all of them were old friends, including, of course, Angtarkay, Pasang and Kusang; but there was one Tibetan lad of nineteen, a newcomer, chosen largely because of his attractive grin. His name was Tensing Norkay—or Tensing Bhotia as he was generally called." 2600:1700:36E1:710:C4F7:670D:56A0:2453 (talk) 17:17, 6 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Awkward Construction in Lead

[edit]

Couldn't one change "known to certainly reach" to "confirmed to have reached"? It feels less awkward and the tense is clearer. 72.46.2.163 (talk) 16:33, 17 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

[edit]

In the popular MMORPG, Old School RuneScape, there is a character named Tenzing.

This character, when examined, says "an experienced Sherpa". He lives at the bottom of a mountain and the player uses Tenzing's advice to find a path to the top of a mountain.

I believe this should be referenced in a section called other media or popular culture. I've never made edits to Wikipedia before and am not sure what the best practice is.

[edit]

Tenzing Norgay Trainor redirects to Tenzing Norgay#Descendants. i'd like to see some discussion about the actor's name not being a redirect.

(Also, https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Tenzing_Norgay_Trainor&redirect=no implies a draft exists at Draft:Tenzing Norgay Trainor, but that also redirects to Tenzing Norgay#Descendants. Is that a problem with the template? i don't completely understand Wikipedia templates.)

According to Wikipedia:Notability (people)#Entertainers

a person may be considered notable if The person has had significant roles in multiple notable films, television shows, stage performances, or other productions

Does his work in Liv and Maddie, Abominable (2019 film), and Abominable and the Invisible City meet that standard?

Apparently he has had other roles too, but i haven't seen them so i don't know how significant those roles were. According to Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Lists of works#Basic list style – examples

Complete lists of works, appropriately sourced to reliable scholarship (WP:V), are encouraged

but Tenzing Norgay Trainor has more than seems appropriate for inclusion in the Tenzing Norgay article or Tenzing (name) "disambiguation".
