Talk:Rayamajhi

Totally unreferenced

This article cites no sources, and is therefore worthless. I'm not in a position to judge whether it is accurate or true in its claims, but it appears to have been written off the top of some editor's head, rather than being researched. Perhaps it ought to be deleted, or at least tagged with a "no references cited" template. --Quisqualis (talk) 01:15, 7 November 2017 (UTC)

Been that way for a long time, it looks like. I've added tags. External links are often provided in lieu of actual references, but in this case it's clearly to a blog, so may fail to be a reliable source. The notable people with the surname do not necessarily require references when they have pages of their own and obviously have the surname.

One direction this could go is to turn the page into a disambiguation page or set list page. That would involve removing the pictures and references to the famous, but under-documented, Gambhir Singh Rayamajhi. — jmcgnh^{(talk) (contribs)} 04:45, 14 November 2017 (UTC)

No longer totally unreferenced and the prose has been improved. I still don't think I fully understand the lead, since it uses words that are not commonly understood in English for almost everything it says. I think it should be using the word "caste" instead of "cast". — jmcgnh^{(talk) (contribs)} 02:10, 15 November 2017 (UTC)

It is about the man Colonel Gambhir Singh Rayamajh, not a people a people or a tribe or cast. scope_creep (talk) 13:03, 16 November 2017 (UTC)

I can see your confusion. I was wrong. It is a surname page, a tribe or cast, and a predominant member page, of the Colonel, who should have his own page. Doesn't help.scope_creep (talk) 13:10, 16 November 2017 (UTC)

Notable people - still a problematic page

I deleted someone's attempt to add notable people who don't have articles.

This article is still problematic, as it is a confused jumble of:

1. a surname article
2. some historical details about an ethnic group or caste
3. a biography of Colonel Gambhir Singh Rayamajhi, who is presumably notable enough to have his own article, but we may need better references

I know there are editors interested in Nepal who may be able to provide some clarity or improvements. Please. — jmcgnh^{(talk) (contribs)} 19:01, 16 February 2018 (UTC)
