Dagestani reddit user is claiming they made it

Around 10 September 2023 a reddit user from Dagestan claimed that his expedition made the summit. They have a number of pictures and videos that seem to lend credence to their claim. MyIP19216811 (talk) 04:25, 11 September 2023 (UTC)

Someone keeps editing it back to say "unclimbed" despite the photos and videos posted on reddit and mountaineering talk boards 192.0.182.43 (talk) 15:12, 11 September 2023 (UTC)
A reddit post isn't a reliable source. See WP:UGC which lists reddit as an example of an unacceptable user-generated source. ThaddeusSholto (talk) 16:26, 11 September 2023 (UTC)
Sorry to be a buzzkill, but it's just a couple of videos that don't show much background, with gear that seems suspiciously light for the conditions they claim to have encountered. Could be... many places that aren't Muchu Chhish. Not to mention that there are quite a few details that don't quite add up. Could be a not-that-experienced, non-English-speaking mountaineer barely communicating on Gilgit wifi, could be a hoax. The original poster has mentioned that they've emailed the AAJ, and a couple other mountaineering news sources have also expressed interest, so if it's not a hoax, it'll likely be verified by them in the following months. 86.124.148.88 (talk) 17:09, 11 September 2023 (UTC)
