why not use the Privacy Options Section of the admin web GUI for the list 
concerned to set its 'advertised' option (the first one on the page)?

you might also like to decide whether you want newly created lists to be 
advertised by default. If so ensure the value of DEFAULT_LIST_ADVERTISED = 
1 in $prefix/Mailman/Defaults.py and if necessary override this in 
$prefix/Mailman/mm_cfg.py

it would help if you said how "without success" manifested itself. Are you 
running rmlist as a user with appropriate privileges, e.g as root or mailman?

if use the -a option on rmlist the list archives are also deleted (as 
revealed by running rmlist with the -h option).
