Wikipedia:WikiProject Deletion sorting/Nepal

This is a collection of discussions on the deletion of articles related to Nepal. It is one of many deletion lists coordinated by WikiProject Deletion sorting. Anyone can help maintain the list on this page.

Adding a new AfD discussion

Adding an AfD to this page does not add it to the main page at WP:AFD. Similarly, removing an AfD from this page does not remove it from the main page at WP:AFD. If you want to nominate an article for deletion, go through the process on that page before adding it to this page. To add a discussion to this page, follow these steps:

Edit this page and add {{Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/PageName}} to the top of the list. Replace "PageName" with the relevant article name, i.e. the one on the existing AFD discussion. Also, indicate the title of the article in the edit summary as it is particularly helpful to add a link to the article in the edit summary. When you save the page, the discussion will automatically appear.
You should also tag the AfD by adding {{subst:delsort|Nepal|~~~~}} to it, which will inform editors that it has been listed here. You may place this tag above or below the nomination statement or at the end of the discussion thread.

There are a few scripts and tools that can make this easier.

Removing a closed AfD discussion

Closed AfD discussions are automatically removed by a bot.

Other types of discussions

You can also add and remove other discussions (prod, CfD, TfD etc.) related to Nepal. For the other XfD's, the process is the same as AfD (except {{Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion/PageName}} is used for MFD and {{transclude xfd}} for the rest). For PRODs, adding a link with {{prodded}} will suffice.

Further information

For further information see Wikipedia's deletion policy and WP:AfD for general information about Articles for Deletion, including a list of article deletions sorted by day of nomination.

This list is also part of the larger list of deletion debates related to Asia.

Nepal

Traditional songs of Kathmandu

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Probably not an appropriate article for that. Some of the page's content is described at Music of Nepal but I do not think that redirection or merge would suffice. Article was moved to draftspace despite one decline, and I could not find any sources describing this topic and not the music of the country in general.

Delete: Poorly written article. The title of the article doesn't match the article. Maybe Newar music? But there doesn't seem to be enough differences between Newar music and Nepalese one. I don't see any way to salvage this article. — Itzcuauhtli11 (talk) 14:21, 27 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - Definitely original research and looks like a student term paper. No Wikipedia article has the author's name at the top, and this is most of that user's work on WP. Everyone starts somewhere, so I encourage this person to make constructive contributions to existing articles on Nepalese music and the like. ---DOOMSDAYER520 (TALK|CONTRIBS) 16:09, 27 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Delete: I have multiple concerns regarding this article. Firstly, there is disconnect between the title and the content and this makes it difficult to understand the article’s actual aim and scope. Secondly, it reads more like a personal blog post and parts of it appear to be copied from elsewhere.More importantly, the article seems to misrepresent Newa (Newar) culture as the sole or defining traditional music of Kathmandu. which is not true in real sense. Kathmandu has historically been home to a diverse castes, ethnic groups, and religious communities. And each of them have been contributing to its culture. Presenting Newar traditions as representative of all traditional music in Kathmandu oversimplifies it. A quick search reveals multiple reliable sources that describe a more complex musical heritage, not limited to a single ethnic group. In its current form, the article lacks notability, and fails to meet Wikipedia’s standards for verifiability and neutrality. While the topic might be notable if approached from a broader and more balanced angle. this particular version does not add encyclopaedic value in my opinion.

Delete not finding Significant coverage for the subject on a brief web search so far, alternatively can be draftified if new sources can be found.Lorraine Crane (talk) 18:21, 27 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

प्रधान मंत्री

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

From what I can ascertain, I'm guessing this translates to "Prime Minister". It certainly isn't plausible that it means "of Nepal" and "of India" with the exact same spelling, which would make this an invalid dab page. Also, are article titles in different alphabets even allowed? I suspect not, but MOS:FOREIGNTITLE and WP:TSC don't explicitly cover this. Clarityfiend (talk) 09:15, 25 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Delete I don't speak Hindi, but google translate says this means 'Prime Minister'. Either way, it's frankly implausible for the term to be searched realistically. Translations of words in other languages are rarely even redirects, let alone DABs. jolielover♥talk 05:42, 26 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Delete: On English Wikipedia, there is no need to create a disambiguation page in Hindi language. B-Factor 16:10, 26 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Delete – The English Wikipedia should not have non-disambiguatatory, non-English index pages for English-language articles. Yue🌙 18:38, 26 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - we routinely delete similar pages either in main space or draft articles. This is almost a speedy delete: non-controversial. Bearian (talk) 01:54, 27 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Delete: The text just means prime minister and it doesn't really disambiguate them because they are under two different titles. Schützenpanzer (Talk) 15:39, 27 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Delete: in agreement with points above. As normally an english wikipedia user would not literally search for a non-english characters.Lorraine Crane (talk) 03:28, 29 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Agree with all above. Non-English pages are not allowed on English Wikipedia, and this article is absolutely not required here. An English version already exists under Prime Minister (disambiguation).Jitendra indulkar (talk) 08:14, 29 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Mrityu Diary

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Another book by the author Tulasi Acharya, whose own wiki article was deleted due to No compelling keep arguments, LLMs, one-edit accounts, highly dodgy sourcing, and some of the most blatant COI promotion I've seen on Wikipedia for a long time.

Previous discussion of the author and his books:

Like the other books, I believe this one fails WP:NBOOK. Source review in the comments below. Astaire (talk) 19:40, 24 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: Literature and Nepal. Astaire (talk) 19:40, 24 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. Source review:

Source 1 is the book's page on the publisher's website. Primary source, not independent.
Source 2 and Source 3 are reviews by the same person, Padam Bhattarai (one in English, one in Nepali) - so regardless, they would only count as one source for the purposes of WP:NBOOK. These reviews are suspicious: they appear to be the only thing that Mr. Bhattarai has written for either website. Someone named "Padam Bhattarai" appears to be Facebook friends with Acharya and is interacting with his posts: [1] Notably, Republica (Source 2) was deemed not reliable for a review of Acharya's work in this AfD due to an apparent (different) conflict of interest.
Source 4 is a review in The Rising Nepal by Narayan Prasad Ghimire. Mr. Ghimire seems to have a special interest in Acharya's books: he has also reviewed Sex, Desire, and Taboo for the Kathmandu Post [2] and Swapnabhumi for Nepal News [3]. In addition, Mr. Ghimire and Acharya appear to be Facebook friends: see e.g. this recent post with a comment from Mr. Ghimire. Major COI red flags here.
Source 5 is a review for the Sahitya Post by Badri Prasad Dhakal (in Nepali). The Sahitya Post is a "literary portal" that seems to accept a wide variety of content from writers, including promotional and self-promotional content. Its reliability and editorial controls are dubious.

Astaire (talk) 19:42, 24 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Given the history of the other articles about this author and their books, I would need unambiguous evidence of independent reviews to be satisfied that this one passes WP:NBOOK. Per the source analysis above, I don't think this comes close to that standard. All of the reviews are highly suspicious at best. MCE89 (talk) 12:13, 25 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Delete- First 5 books and BLP of author were deleted for similar reasons as mentioned by the nominator. (List in nomination). Regarding this article I have following conclusion. This source Source 4 is reliable. But the content is has similar format and tone as previous books reviews. Review is not neutral. The author who has written review is also involved in writing reviews of other books and appears to be closely connected to author of this book, as rightly pointed out by nominator. This one is Source 3 not different from the above article. Other Nepali sources are not reliable and not worth discussing . Rahmatula786 (talk) 12:15, 27 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Siddhartha Cricket Stadium

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Contested redirect without improvement (along with a personal attack). Searches did not turn up enough in-depth coverage from independent, reliable sources to support meeting WP:GNG. Onel5969 ^{TT me} 22:53, 15 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

If this was a state level sports stadium in the US would this deletion nomination ever have been put forward? Let's try and counter - not reinforce - Wikipedia's bias problems. Atrapalhado (talk) 09:20, 16 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

KEEP This is a perfectly valid article that should not have been put forward for deletion (if you get your kicks deleting articles people have worked hard on, at least focus on the many thousands of unnecessary articles on US sports and popular culture, rather than seeking to scrap valid articles from non western/ non Anglosphere country topics which are inevitably harder to source but no less notable).

Anyway, this is clearly a major regional cricket ground in Nepal. Sources make clear it's one of the grounds for the major cricket tournament in the country. The article is substantially developed. Yes it needs more sources but the source cited is independent and provides good material. If our friend who put this forward for deletion wanted to do something more useful with their time, he/she could readily add additional sources from independent professional cricketing sites which can be readily found on Google. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Atrapalhado (talk • contribs) 23:42, 15 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
