Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Mount Everest and English Channel
It's damn impressive, and a great personal mission to set oneself - whoever achieves this should be proud. But it's just not a noted challenge. And the problem is, a challenge '''has''' to be noted to be a competitive challenge: if no-one else knows of it, you're not competing with anyone. It's just something you've done. Thus it screams vanity article, as anyone who's done two diverse yet difficult things could stick a name on it and make a page of it. My advice to the creators of the article is to approach some 'health and fitness'/'extreme sports' magazines, get it into the wider world that way. If the challenge got wider recognition it could be a good article, but wikipedia just isn't the place for launching new ideas (per , : Crystal Ball). Good luck to both in the swim
