The result was merge, while there are still 10 hours left, a clear consensus has been determined to merge to National Three Peaks Challenge. no consensus, the articles show minimal notability, though it does seem to pass. I'd suggest discussion on the talk page, whether the content should be merged or not. TheWeakWilled (T * G) 02:56, 19 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I do feel that if the five peaks challenge did not exist it would be necessary to invent it. However 5 peaks is not mentioned by the article's only Secondary Reference. I cannot see significant coverage in sources independent of the subject. At best this deserves a mention in the National Three Peaks Challenge. Þjóðólfr (talk) 12:47, 12 December 2009 (UTC) *Delete Not notable, only source appears to the website of the "inventor" --HighKing (talk) 12:49, 12 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Weak keep - I doubt greatly that this article would have been nominated for deletion had use of the term "British Isles" in it not been the subject of debate on Wikipedia talk:British Isles Terminology task force/Specific Examples. Not enormously notable, but reference-able (e.g. [1], [2], [3]). Suggest, it be merged with National Three Peaks Challenge, which it appears to be an extension of. --rannṗáirtí anaiṫnid (coṁrá) 13:09, 12 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

*Delete If I were to climb the two highest mountains of each country, created my own website, and called it the ten peak challenge it wouldn't merit an article. Neither should this. Jack forbes (talk) 13:57, 12 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Comment, Why does anyone want to delete this article? Is it because it's not a notable event? Nope. The ONLY reason this article is up for deletion is because it contains the words "BRITISH ISLES". What do you non-involved editors make of that then? Non-involved here means not involved in the stupid attempts by a couple of editors to rid Wikipedia of British Isles. Good eh!

I don't believe I have been involved in any stupid attempt to rid wikipedia of British Isles. Jack forbes (talk) 14:57, 12 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Agreed. I was suggesting HighKing and Doofer. Mister Flash (talk) 15:19, 12 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per the above. GoodDay (talk) 16:49, 12 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Keep gets a good hit rate on search engines. Mister Flash (talk) 19:31, 12 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Merge or keep. I managed to find newspaper mentions here here and here without much effort. They're mostly about individual attempts to meet it and not the challenge itself though, so a merge might be appropriate. As an aside: after reading this AfD but before doing a search I expected to !vote delete, since none of the sources given above seem to be from reliable publications. I've also argued quite strongly in the past against overzealous removal of the phrase 'British Isles'. I think, regardless of our suspicions about other editors' motives, discussion is likely to be more productive if we concentrate on the article's merits which should stand (or fall) regardless.

Keep. The BBC has covered results of the race albeit uncommonly. On balance, I think this is notable although there is a real paucity of news coverage. --Mkativerata (talk) 20:48, 12 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Keep per Olaf Davis. Pburka (talk) 20:55, 12 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Merge or delete Changed after considering rannṗáirtí anaiṫnid and Olaf. --HighKing (talk) 12:50, 14 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Merge or delete Also changed after the above discussions. Jack forbes (talk) 13:12, 14 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Many references are available. This topic passes the notability test. LevenBoy (talk) 12:09, 16 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
