This article was marked for speedy deletion by an editor who questioned the importance of McGowan.

C'mon, he's documented as the first American to set foot on Everest, and has multiple first ascents! In the mountaineering world, and in the adventure travel industry, he is exceptionally well known. He deserves inclusion.

There seem to be editors who should be marked for speedy deletion. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jack-z (talk • contribs) 01:31, 28 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
