Talk:List of prime ministers of Nepal

Please review...
Would someone who is an expert on this topic please review this article as well as this one as the information contained in them is different after numerous IP edits to this article. In addition, an article for Vedant Nepal was created today with contradictory information: "Vedant Nepal(1994) is a very successful political student, currently administering education into his mind in St.Xaviers College, Maitighar. He was very successful during the election period. He won the election by 1 vote in Kathmandu-9 and by 210 votes in Humla-7 and he successfully resigned from both the duties due to his family being sick, which he had to look after. He became the prime-minister due to the pressure from the public. The public demanded him to be the prime-minister of Nepal, which he denied first. But due to immense pressure and the bribe the public gave him, he accepted the post. There is a rumour that Rs.10,00,00,000 was bribed(total money)to him.".

Include the tenure?
How about adding a column on tenure (years, months, days) served by prime ministers? --BiplavPradhan (talk) 17:01, 8 February 2012 (UTC)

Clarification needed
The opening paragraph says "The position of Prime Minister of Nepal was created in 1990", yet this list starts c.1800. There is obviously a contradiction here. Can someone with an understanding of Nepalese history and politics please clarify this. Thanks. Derek Andrews (talk) 14:20, 31 January 2012 (UTC)

This seems to be edited now. --BiplavPradhan (talk) 17:00, 8 February 2012 (UTC)

Change to the right version and revert vandals.
Please change the edits by User sundostund on 7th august and restore to the edits made by 108.71.197.17 on 3rd august. User blackite has clearly and unfairly used his admin rights to revert changes and lead to false information to wiki audience, when the user has never made any edit in this article before and doesnt know anything about the article material and is editing in favor of user sundostund who had been contacted time and again to seek consensus but did not respond.. The colors and templates of the parties are wrong as of now and it is requested that it be taken back to 108.71.197.17 version which is the right one. Appropriate action should also be take against User: blackite if possible.

Conflicting titles
How exactly should this page be divided/ prime ministers be listed? Prime Minister is not a nepali word and this post did not exist until the time of mathabar singh thapa, who titled himself as prime minister, so he is technically the first prime minister of Nepal. There is practically no basis for Damodar being the first prime minister of Nepal. If the prime minister is considered to be the person who held the administrative rights and powers, the first prime minister would be Kalu Pandey, even though he was just a Mul Kaji technically. The first titled prime minister is Mathabar Singh Thapa. The first prime minister to hold absoulte power is Jung Bahadur Rana. And, the first elected prime minister is B.P. Koirala. So, how exactly should this list be organized. I also believe that the data in one of the undone edits would be more accurate.

 * I second your opinion. I think it is best to use Nepali titles for the highest administrative duty of the country, after the king. Before 1800 it used to be the mul-kaji, not counting the regent (or nayab). Later it became the muktiyar, even though the post of mul-kaji existed along side the muktiyar. After Mathabar Singh it became prime minister. In my opinion the list can be made more historically credible if we divide the list according to changing times. For instance, we already have two sections for PMs of federal republic era and constitutional monarchy era. Similarly we can further divide the list according to Panchayat era, Transition era, Rana era, Thapa era, and Unification era. (Manoguru (talk) 11:30, 17 November 2014 (UTC))

First Prime Minister
How is it determined that Damodar Pande is the first Prime Minister when Kirtiman Singh Basnyat was Chief Kazi before him.KL Pradhan's book Airkeeper (talk) 11:43, 11 June 2017 (UTC)

Kirtiman Singh Basnet was Chief Kazi till his death on September 1801 as per Baburam Acharya (2012). Government of Damodar was formed on February 1802 as per KL Pradhan (2012). Airkeeper (talk) 11:45, 11 June 2017 (UTC)
 * The official website of the [office of the Prime Minister http://opmcm.gov.np/en/former-pm/] mentions Bhimsen Thapa as the first Prime Minister of Nepal. SimulationWig (talk) 11:51, 23 June 2017 (UTC)

List of Prime Ministers of Nepal → Prime Minister of Nepal – This article is not just a list. It's also about the history and political role of the office. Charles Essie (talk) 20:53, 22 May 2018 (UTC) --Relisting. Dekimasu よ! 01:34, 31 May 2018 (UTC)
 * Oppose. First, "list" articles on WP usually have a lead section and often more. Take a look at WP:FLC. Second, the "P" and the "M" need to be downcased: it's generic usage. Tony (talk)  03:31, 23 May 2018 (UTC)
 * I disagree completely. This is clearly much more than a list. Charles Essie (talk) 18:32, 26 May 2018 (UTC)


 * Oppose article is in list format. Would be nice if someone created Prime Minister of Nepal as a separate article, though. Ribbet32 (talk) 04:01, 31 May 2018 (UTC)
 * Oppose. This is a list. If you would like to create a separate article on the office of Prime Minister of Nepal, nobody's stopping you. Rreagan007 (talk) 04:19, 31 May 2018 (UTC)
 * Oppose most list of presidents or prime ministers discuss the office before the list see עם ישראל חי (talk) 15:07, 31 May 2018 (UTC)

Chairman of the Council of Ministers
In the Nepali language website for the Office of Prime Minister and Council of Ministers https://www.opmcm.gov.np/former-pm/ there is a distinction made for some individuals as 'अध्यक्ष मन्त्रिपरिषद्' or 'मन्त्रिपरिषद्का अध्यक्ष' (Chairman of the Council of Ministers/Chairman of the Cabinet) instead of प्रधानमन्त्री (Prime Minister). Should such distinction be made in this article as well? They're shown as 'Prime Minister' in the English language website though. SimulationWig (talk) 01:00, 1 January 2021 (UTC)
