See, for example, here: "When mountaineers Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgay were prepping for their historic summit of Mount Everest in 1953, Rolex provided them with a prototype to wear on their expedition. That watch was the Rolex Explorer, and it’s been riding high on that adventurous legacy ever since." 205.239.40.3 (talk) 15:30, 8 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Malcolm Campbell was added by the anonymous editor who started this thread and who gave no rationale on the 7th November. I have removed the category as it is not supported by the article content. I shall be looking at the other articles in the category and removing them if unsupported. It looks to me very much like an attempt to use Wikipedia to advertise tacky watches.

Under the heading "Public Recognition" and before "A 2.3-metre (7.5 ft) bronze statue". Insert: There have been few memorials to individual New Zealanders since the 1960s. However, as the best-known New Zealander of his generation, Hillary was honoured with two statues in New Zealand – at the Hermitage beneath Aoraki/Mt Cook, and at Ōrewa, north of Auckland. The Ōrewa statue was erected in 1991 and was the work of a Chinese immigrant to New Zealand, Chen Wei-Ming.
Early in the article it says Hillary "and Sherpa mountaineer Tenzing Norgay became the first climbers confirmed to have reached the summit of Mount Everest". Among the Sherpa people, is there a belief that they (by themselves) reached the summit prior to that? That's something that isn't clear to me in a lot of articles on this.Rja13ww33 (talk) 01:23, 30 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
