... that the 14th-century Tashfiniya Madrasa in Tlemcen was demolished by French colonial authorities in 1876? Source: Charpentier, Agnès (2018). "Tlemcen médiévale: urbanisme, architecture et arts" (in French). Éditions de Boccard. ISBN 9782701805252. pp.125-126.
Comment: I plan to add an architectural summary to the article soon, possibly in the next few days, but this should have no effect on the DYK criteria. Also, minor note on the date: the year 1873 is sometimes cited as year of demolition in other, less clearly reliable sources, but according to the above source (a recent and more in-depth scholarly study; see also partial info in this source), that was the year when the decision to demolish was taken, whereas demolition itself took place in 1876.

Overall: Very interesting article, and an unfortunate one - thank you for creating it. I hope you return to add the architectural details and continue nominating at dyk. You may consider adding a footnote to explain that some sources say it was demolished in 1873. Urve (talk) 10:52, 22 July 2022 (UTC)
