I've Read All This But I'm In Need Of The Urgent Answer That Who For The First Time Proposed The Idea Of Seven Wonder In History Of Mankind.
Thanks

The answer is in Wikipedia, you just need to read it more thoroughly.

The earliest extant version of a list of seven wonders was compiled by Antipater of Sidon, who described the structures in a poem around 140 BC

The first paragraph (after the contents) of the Wikipedia entry linked above gives you the earliest known references to them.

I've Heard That Herodotus First Mentioned It.Can You Confirm Please.
Thank You.

That information is in the wikipedia entry already linked and referenced twice.

You have not bothered to do the research yourself, and are only looking for the answer to your question. Do your homework yourself.

It doesnt mention that in the link I provided you, or in this one Herodotus - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

You can find pretty much anything in Wikipedia if you try.

I've Read My Sir Those Articles But You Must Have Noticed That The List Compiled By Herodotus Is Not mentioned. I'm In Search Of The List. Don't Get Angry Please. It Hurts Others.
Thanks

Ancient historian Herodotus (484 BC– 425 BC) created lists of seven wonders, though none of the original documents survived and are known only by reference by other authors

Taken from New Seven Wonders of the World: Just the Latest List in a Legacy as Long as Written History

Like I said before, this person created the first documented list : The earliest extant version of a list of seven wonders was compiled by Antipater of Sidon, who described the structures in a poem around 140 BC
