List of stupas in Nepal

 * Nominator(s):  CAPTAIN MEDUSA   talk  08:21, 22 September 2020 (UTC)

Stupas are used as a place of meditation. This list shows notable stupas in Nepal. CAPTAIN MEDUSA  talk  08:21, 22 September 2020 (UTC)
 * Comments
 * You say "This list shows notable stupas in Nepal" - are there others? If the ones listed are the notable ones, what makes them notable and the rest not notable?
 * "Stupas in Nepal date back to the Licchavi period," - that comma should be a semi-colon
 * "Swayambhunath is one of the oldest known building in the country that was likely built in the 5th century CE" => "Swayambhunath is one of the oldest known buildings in the country and was likely built in the 5th century CE"
 * "Ashoka's daughter Charumati who married a Nepali prince; built" => "Ashoka's daughter Charumati, who married a Nepali prince, built"
 * "which badly damaged and completely destroyed the top part" - well if it was completely destroyed then clearly it was badly damaged, so the first part is redundant
 * "Near Thamel, Kaathe Swayambhu, a replica of the Swayambhunath is located that was built in 1650" => "Kaathe Swayambhu, a replica of the Swayambhunath that was built in 1650, is located near Thamel"
 * "there are few stupas" => "there are several stupas"
 * "The World Peace Pagoda was built by Japanese Buddhist" => "The World Peace Pagoda was built by Japanese Buddhists" (unless it was genuinely built by just one guy :-))
 * "near the stupa, there is a gravestone of a monk who murdered" => "near the stupa is the gravestone of a monk who was murdered"
 * No co-ordinates for The Great Drigung Kagyud Lotus Stupa - surely its location is known?
 * The "established" column does not sort correctly
 * Stupas which are heritage sites do not have the dagger symbol against them which the key suggests they should
 * In the table you use BC and AD, but in the lead you used BCE and CE
 * Where there is more than one ref on a row, they should be in correct numerical order
 * Think that's it from me. Thanks for an interesting read about a subject I knew nothing about....... -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 16:02, 22 September 2020 (UTC)
 * , All done. To become notable to be in this list, it must receive basic coverage via books, news etc.  CAPTAIN MEDUSA   talk  11:50, 24 September 2020 (UTC)


 * Support, although if all of these are considered notable then it would be nice to see articles created on the three that are currently redlinks..... -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 16:20, 25 September 2020 (UTC)


 * Support ~  HAL  333  20:21, 7 October 2020 (UTC)

Source review - Pass

 * As I couldn't find any issues with reliability and these formatting concerns below are minor I have implemented them myself. Pass for source review. Aza24 (talk) 00:53, 13 October 2020 (UTC)
 * ref 5 as a book needs an identifier of some kind. There's no ISBN but an OCLC on world cat
 * ref 26 needs OCLC Aza24 (talk) 00:53, 13 October 2020 (UTC)

That's it from me at the moment. Yakikaki (talk) 09:16, 27 October 2020 (UTC)
 * Comments
 * The list still mixes AD, B.C., and CE. Chose one of BC–AD or BCE–CE (and not B.C.). Charumati Stupa is furthermore noted as established in the "4th century" while Swayambhunathdagger as "5th century CE". I guess "CE" can be skipped here.
 * Some stupas have "stupa" included in their name, others not. World Peace Pagod is called a pagoda, not a stupa. Myanmar Golden Temple is called a temple. How come?
 * Are there suitable interlanguage links to add to the red-linked articles?
 * There are four UNESCO World Heritage Sites in the list but no mention of this in the lead, it could be worth to add a line or two about it.


 * , I believe that I have resolved your comments. Stupas can be called by various names such as "pagoda" "temple" etc. Also, I could not find any interlanguage links.  CAPTAIN MEDUSA   talk  13:26, 27 October 2020 (UTC)
 * Thanks, the list still mixes AD and B.C. though. Please remove the B.C. and replace it with BC. Yakikaki (talk) 15:00, 27 October 2020 (UTC)
 * , Done, Thanks.  CAPTAIN MEDUSA   talk  15:08, 27 October 2020 (UTC)
 * Thanks a lot! Sorry to be a bother but I had one more thing in mind. I would suggest you to switch places between the first sentence of the lead, and the first part of the second sentence until the semi-colon ("Stupas in Nepal date back to the Licchavi period"), and then bold Stupas in Nepal in accordance with MOS:BOLDLEAD. Yakikaki (talk) 15:16, 27 October 2020 (UTC)
 * , Done.  CAPTAIN MEDUSA   talk  15:41, 27 October 2020 (UTC)

All my comments have been swiftly addressed. I hereby give my support. Yakikaki (talk) 15:45, 27 October 2020 (UTC)
