Well, how does the Britannica article begin its article: "Tenzing Norgay Tibetan mountaineer Alternate titles: Namgyal Wangdi, Tenzing Norkay, Tenzing Norkey" Born: May 15, 1914 China Died: May 9, 1986 (aged 71) Darjeeling India Tenzing Norgay, (Nepalese: “Wealthy-Fortunate Follower of Religion”) Norgay also spelled Norkey or Norkay, original name Namgyal Wangdi, (born May 15, 1914, Tshechu, Tibet [now Tibet Autonomous Region, China]—died May 9, 1986, Darjeeling [now Darjiling], West Bengal, India), Tibetan mountaineer who in 1953 became, with Edmund (later Sir Edmund) Hillary of New Zealand, the first person to set foot on the summit of Mount Everest, the world’s highest peak (29,035 feet [8,850 metres]; see Researcher’s Note: Height of Mount Everest)." I don't see any OMs or OBEs. Besides the Government of India does not allow its citizens to use postnominals for even their highest civilian awards such as the Bharat Ratna.
Similarly, Ronald Reagen or Rudy Guiliani never used Sir or OM. Fowler&fowler «Talk» 23:46, 28 April 2022 (UTC)
I believe the character in the video game, Uncharted 2, was named after him as well. 174.95.59.169 ( talk) 05:05, 24 November 2022 (UTC)

Please update the missing citation at the end of the first paragraph of the Mountaineering section with citation to Eric Shipton's autobiography, That Untravelled World. My copy does not have page numbers but in Chapter 4, "Himalayan Hey-Day," Shipton writes: "There was another prophetic incident. From a hundred applicants, we chose fifteen Sherpas to accompany the expedition from Darjeeling. Nearly all of them were old friends, including, of course, Angtarkay, Pasang and Kusang; but there was one Tibetan lad of nineteen, a newcomer, chosen largely because of his attractive grin. His name was Tensing Norkay—or Tensing Bhotia as he was generally called." 2600:1700:36E1:710:C4F7:670D:56A0:2453 ( talk) 17:17, 6 June 2023 (UTC)
Couldn't one change "known to certainly reach" to "confirmed to have reached"? It feels less awkward and the tense is clearer. 72.46.2.163 ( talk) 16:33, 17 August 2023 (UTC)
In the popular MMORPG, Old School RuneScape, there is a character named Tenzing.
This character, when examined, says "an experienced Sherpa". He lives at the bottom of a mountain and the player uses Tenzing's advice to find a path to the top of a mountain.
I believe this should be referenced in a section called other media or popular culture. I've never made edits to Wikipedia before and am not sure what the best practice is.

Tenzing Norgay Trainor redirects to Tenzing Norgay#Descendants. i'd like to see some discussion about the actor's name not being a redirect.
(Also, https://en.wikipedia.org/?title=Tenzing_Norgay_Trainor&redirect=no implies a draft exists at Draft:Tenzing Norgay Trainor, but that also redirects to Tenzing Norgay#Descendants. Is that a problem with the template? i don't completely understand Wikipedia templates.)
According to Wikipedia:Notability (people)#Entertainers
Does his work in Liv and Maddie, Abominable (2019 film), and Abominable and the Invisible City meet that standard?
Apparently he has had other roles too, but i haven't seen them so i don't know how significant those roles were. According to Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Lists of works#Basic list style – examples
but Tenzing Norgay Trainor has more than seems appropriate for inclusion in the Tenzing Norgay article or Tenzing (name) "disambiguation".
