I tried to Google around and see if there might be a path to cleaning this up quickly. It doesn't seem like there are enough good sources to make that possible. The only source cited within the article is a Blogspot post. One potential alternative could be merging it into Kumhar if someone else can find sufficient citations as it seems like they may be closely related, but I do not know enough about the subject matter to even understand if that is actually the right home for this content. I have no doubt that the Kumal are a real ethnic group but I think the page needs to be rewritten from the ground up. As it is currently written, it does not fit encyclopedic style. I'd be happy to help with copyediting and style if there is another editor who wants to take up citation-finding and starting a new draft from scratch. But for now I think the existing page should be deleted. Paradoxsociety 07:35, 6 May 2020 (UTC)

• The article could always be trimmed down to a one-sentence stub saying the Kumal are a social group of Nepal, and that there were 121,000 of them at the time of the 2011 census.

• Keep and stubify. Here's a source that could be added as "Further reading" for re-building the article based on a RS. –Austronesier (talk) 15:17, 6 May 2020 (UTC)
• Keep -- I have removed the copyvio and added some sources to verify the basic facts. Usedtobecool ☎️ 15:32, 6 May 2020 (UTC)
