A fact from Musalla complex appeared on Wikipedia's
Main Page in the Did you know column on 25 September 2021 (
check views). The text of the entry was as follows:
Did you know... that most of the
Timurid 15th-century Musalla complex(remains pictured) was destroyed in 1885 by the British and the Emir of Afghanistan,
Abdul Rahman Khan?
The minarets are what's left of the complex. They used to be part of the buildings of the complex but the minarets (and mausoleum) are all that was allowed to remain when the complex was demolished. Presently, we don't have separate articles for minarets when they are attached to a larger building (as far as I am aware). I think that should still be the case when the building they were attached to has been demolished. The minarets should be covered with the complex they used to be a part of (and there is no information at the minaret article that would/could be unique to that article). —

Approved: Article 6× expanded within 7 days of nomination, long enough, neutral, well cited. Copyvio: The first sentence of the fourth paragraph of section Preservation efforts was very close to reference named "auto" (see
Earwig comparison). I took the liberty of paraphrasing it for you. QPQ verified. Image tagged CC and displays well. Hook of good length, well formatted, and interesting. DYK
rule D1 requires that the hook sentence be cited in the article; you only had it cited at the end of the paragraph. I verified the source on JSTOR and copied it up to move things along. All good now. Approved. –
