... that
Film Development Board of Nepal rejected Gaja Baja to be produced as the title contained the word marijuana? Source:
What’s in a name? "In a ridiculous decision, the Film Development Board (FDB) of Nepal has withheld the approval of upcoming movie Gajabaja"

I checked the sources, did some cleanup on the article, and am ready to review. However, I'm still not sure about the relationship of the word gaja to marijuana. Is it a Nepali slang term, an English slang term, a direct translation? It isn't at the exhaustive
list of names for cannabis,
list of slang names for cannabis or
glossary of cannabis terms. I suppose it could be a variation of ganja, but that's only a guess.
wikt:gaja doesn't include that meaning. I think we need to be mindful of how this is worded in the hook. What would you think of "because the title alluded to marijuana?" Or if you can find another source for it, that'd be great. –

Article created on day of nomination, long enough, neutral, well-cited, with no copyvio or close paraphrasing detected. QPQ verified. Holding on hook per notes above. –

ALT0a: ... that the

Marijuana can be translated as gaja or
ganja but the correct term is ganja. ~~

Approve ALT0a Hook short enough, formatted, neutral, cited in article and interesting. –

Hi, I came by to promote this, but the article is an orphan. Please link it in at least one other Wikipedia article so it won't be tagged.
