  • ... that Mollie Hughes is the youngest woman to ski solo to the South Pole? Source: "An Edinburgh adventurer has become the youngest woman to ski solo to the South Pole. Mollie Hughes, 29, skied for 58.5 days pulling all her food in a sledge during her lone trek across Antarctica." ([1])

  • Obviously need to wait for the AfD to close (but I'm confident it will close as keep, given your great work on the article!). Some of the parts of the article could be sourced better (e.g. the Edinburgh News source doesn't confirm the expedition to Greenland actually happened). Otherwise article is long enough, new enough, neutral and no copyvio. I think hook should include that it was a solo ski to be accurate, with that it would be all good, as is sourced and interesting.

You make a good point about the Greenland trip; I have added a later news source that confirms it happened. I have tweaked the hook as suggested. Ritchie333 (talk) (cont) 12:37, 22 January 2020 (UTC)
  • Thanks for the improvements! I'm just keeping my eye on the AfD, and as soon as that has been cleared will add tick. Achaea (talk) 19:13, 24 January 2020 (UTC)
