Hi,
TLDR; What can we do? (expecially for someone like me who isn't admin on
enwp and don't really know Nepal).
That sad:( I'm not sure what I can do. Here some remarks (not sure if it
helps) :
* why go on enwp (which is notoriously complicated, and more and more so)
and not on newp - it would seems more logical and it's probably easier
there ?
* some list have not been deleted
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:List_of_Monuments_in_Kosi_Zone ; indeed
it's empty and look abandonned :/ I've looked to add photo and other
improvement but my knowledge of Nepal. Can someone give some pointer and
example of what can be done and how?
* as always on Wikipedia, the problem is source... Is there any avalaible
source for these lists?
Cdlt, ~nicolas

Hey all,
A while back we discussed the lists in Nepal. Unfortunately someone at
enwiki deleted them a few days ago (see some notifications here
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Biplab_Anand/Archive1#Your_draft_article.2C_Draft:List_of_Monuments_in_Mahakali_Zone>)
because the 'draft has not been edited for six months'. A requirement I at
least wasn't aware of. These articles were moved from the project namespace
to the draft namespace last year, after this discussion
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Miscellany_for_deletion/Wikipedia:List_of_Monuments_in_Nepal>
.
Right now, a discussion is ongoing
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Administrators%27_noticeboard#Wikipedia:Miscellany_for_deletion.2FWikipedia:List_of_Monuments_in_Nepal_-_drafts_now_deleted>
how to resolve this on admins noticeboard, because apparently it's normal
to delete 200+ pages immediately, but restoring them requires discussion :)
Some helpful suggestions and actual help to turn these drafts into normal
mainspace lists would be appreciated.
I assume it should be possible to turn these lists into encyclopedic
lists, given that there's a good reference available (see the main list
of lists <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:List_of_Monuments_in_Nepal>).
An introduction similar to that of Indian Monuments
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Monuments_of_National_Importance_in_Bihar>
should also be doable.
Any takers?
Best,
Lodewijk
