Could you please clarify what you mean?

I think he means that he sees this thread as a way to pressure page owners or the elves into transferring some pages to new owners without confronting the owners directly.

I see it differently. I think this thread is trying to seek a formal policy or at least create a culture of "climb before you post" going forward.

So to clarify: we are not deleting or forcibly transferring mountain pages created by people who haven't climbed the peak. That was never a formal rule, and there are too many such pages, and it would create a huge mess on this site.

I in my self-proclaimed modest transcended the urge to accumulate copious amounts of power points point of view have this to say:

I personally will not make a page entirely devoted to a mountain I have never climbed before, it is not a good representation of the climb and should not be done...

That being said, quality of a page is what garnishes votes, not the actual existance of the page itself...so if you do not have anything pertainent about the peak, it will not be rewarded as a page constructed by someone who has climbed said mountain
