The article contains no sources showing that the topic itself is notable, only passing statements that most Sylheti-speaking people are bilingual, failing WP:SYNTH; not sure yet if content can be merged to Sylheti language. One of several problematic articles created by Slake000 (talk · contribs) in this topic area; more details at ANI. –LaundryPizza03 (d c̄) 21:58, 17 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Fails WP:GNG. Many languages in the world have a significant number of second-language speakers from minority language communities. This is nothing remarkable and not a topic for an article, unless there is significant coverage in reliable sources. No reliable source covers "bilingual Sylheti speakers" as its main topic. In the sources given in the article, the bilingualism with Sylheti is only mentioned in passing. All this can be merged (without leaving a redirect!) into Sylheti language with 1–2 sentences. –Austronesier (talk) 06:44, 18 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per Austronesier. A brief mention based on two of the article's sources can be added to Sylheti language, but I agree that there's no need to merge anything or leave behind a redirect – the page title is way below the granularity threshold for redirects. – Uanfala (talk) 12:39, 18 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Delete If everyone agrees to delete and add partially into Sylheti language, instead of a separate page. I have no problem. My intention was to give a clear picture of different groups of speakers. - Slake000 — Preceding undated comment added 12:50, 18 June 2021
Redirect and merge into Sylheti language. Doesn't qualify an independent article. RationalPuff (talk) 11:46, 22 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
