Mention of Darjeeling as featured article of this portal

This help request has been answered. If you need more help, you can ask another question on your talk page, contact the responding user(s) directly on their user talk page, or consider visiting the Teahouse.

Darjeeling is in India, not in Nepal. Having it here is a clear case of POV-pushing. It is going to be very controversial if someone from India notices it. It should be removed immediately. This portal is clearly defined as portal of country Nepal, not of Nepali language or of stuff related to people of Nepali descent. I need "help" with it because I don't know what the protocols are when it comes to Portal pages, and how it got here or how it can be cleanly removed (I fear categories may be involved). And I wish the editor/s who did this could be warned. The severity of this kind of thing can not be overstated, as it can have real world political consequences, even though it has gone unnoticed till now. Thanks!

What I am talking about: Darjeeling is populated by people of Nepali descent who have been fighting for the same rights as other ethnic groups in India but have been denied it so far. One of the (only one relevant here) reasons Indians are skeptical of the Gorkhaland movement is the propaganda related to ultra-nationalistic Greater Nepal movement in Nepal which seeks to regain territory like Darjeeling that was lost to the British Raj as a result of the Anglo-Nepalese war. This kind of action in Wikipedia hinders more than help anyone's case. Usedtobecool ^✉️ ✨ 07:36, 26 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Usedtobecool Please don't use the help me template for content dispute issues. Discuss it here and get consensus. Praxidicae (talk) 12:22, 26 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Praxidicae I don't have a content dispute with anyone. As I said, I don't know if I can remove it and how I can remove it. Isn't content dispute what happens when I try to do something and someone disagrees with me? I am simply asking how I can do that which I haven't even done yet? Is it the same as the mainspace page? Can just delete that entry from the portal page and the talk page and see if anyone objects? Do I need to do anything else to make sure that it is properly deleted? Thanks!Usedtobecool ^✉️ ✨ 12:29, 26 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

It's content related and disputed, so I would wait for someone to chime in with their thoughts. Praxidicae (talk) 12:30, 26 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Can I mention editors who have recently and mostly contributed to the page here so that they are notified? Is there a way to find out who specifically added the entry that I mentioned? I am not proficient at searching through diffs. Thanks! Usedtobecool ^✉️ ✨ 12:34, 26 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I agree that Darjeeling and Shiva are ambiguous relative to the general topic of Nepal, so I went ahead and boldly removed them from Portal:Nepal/Recognized content (diff, diff). The recognized content page is updated by User:JL-Bot, which is rather accurate, but sometimes there will be ambiguous or unrelated results generated. As such, the listings may appear again in the future when an update occurs, so feel free to keep an eye on the page. North America¹⁰⁰⁰ 13:37, 26 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Demonym for Nepal

Hello! Has there ever been a discussion somewhere about standardising the demonym for Nepal over Wikipedia? I feel like both Nepali and Nepalese are being used randomly/interchangeably/based on personal preference. I think Nepali should be made the standard and used everywhere that it's possible to use. Nepalese could be required in some cases where, for example Nepali can be confused for Nepali language and there is no good way to disambiguate with reasonable rephrasing; but it's just a hunch. Of course, I could be completely mistaken about what's proper for what usage (afterall Nepalese was entirely invented by foreigners to use in their own language SFAIK). That's why I was wondering if there have been discussions on the topic over here. Usedtobecool ^✉️ ✨ 08:09, 13 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I couldn't find any discussion about this in Wikipedia. But this discussion in quora may be helpful. ~SS49~ {talk} 08:39, 13 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
