the "completely without parallel" sentence strike anyone else as lacking in NPOV?

message: Is it accurate to say that using the word to describe mountain guides is "incorrect," as the article states?  I think it's truer that the term for the guides derived from the ethnic group, and that the word can mean either thing. Merriam-Webster notes both definitions.  Any objections to my rewording this? --djrobgordon 19:12, 11 June 2006 (UTC)

message: Would anyone be interested in starting up a Wikiproject: Sherpa People? I think it's a good idea, I would be fully involved. I really dislike Wikipedia's following the poor Western trait of offering more info on the climbers and not the Sherpas, who if without the Western climbers would never have made it this far in Himalayan mountaineering. Thoughts? I'm very keen and at the moment I'm doing up articles on various Sherpas that must be mentioned on Wikipedia. --Bentonia School 14:53, 30 May 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I just read this, and I fully agree.  Great names that [IMHO] ought to be added; Pasang Kikuli, Pasang Dawa Lama, Pintsoo, Ang Tharkay, and a great many more.  Feel free to suggest other giants. Qwrk (talk) 13:28, 19 April 2010 (UTC)

message: According to the article about Ming Kipa, Ming Kipa is the youngest woman to climb everest, not "16-year-old Nima Chhamzi Sherpa" as claimed in this article.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 88.68.222.124 (talk) 08:40, 29 May 2013 (UTC)

message: Ankaji Sherpa was one of the 13 Nepalese guides who died in an avalanche in April 2014. Is there a cultural sensitivity related to the names of the dead in the Sherpa tradition? It seems inappropriate and outdated in 2014 to continue to name and celebrate reaching the top of Mount Everest without providing the full names of the porters and guides who made these expeditions possible. This article describes how the work done by these porters and guides is so high risk that the "Nepal's trekking agents are required by law to buy life and rescue insurance" for their porters. The average amount is "$11,000 that needs to go to replace the income a worker would have for 10 or 20 years." They do the heaviest lifting, the most dangerous jobs with the least amount of oxygen and earn $5000 a season compared to $50,000 earned by Western guides. "174 climbing Sherpas died while working in Nepal's mountains since the 1980s.

message: First sentence of history section seems to start mid-sentence ("Tibet to Solukhumbu at different times..."), but I feel like more context is needed to know how to fix it.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Drewbigs (talk • contribs) 22:07, 9 May 2022 (UTC)

message: The infobox in the article currently informs the reader that the population of Sherpas is 520 000. The source given is the POPULATION MONOGRAPH OF NEPAL VOLUME II (Social Demography), published by the Governenment of Nepals Central Bureau of Statistics. In several places in that report it is stated that the population of Sherpas were 152 622 in a 2001 census and 112 946 in a 2011 census, for example page 10, page 21, page 27, page 44.
The article footnote refers to the pages 10-156 in the report which makes it difficult to discern where exactly the population figure 520 000 is supposed to be found. As it stands the figure given in the wikipedia article appears to be exaggerated and lacking a proper a source. 155.4.221.64 (talk) 10:47, 1 June 2023 (UTC)
