Keep- Queen of a Kingdom in Northern Bengal who has created two notable structures during her reign. More sources should be available in Bengali.Vinegarymass911 (talk) 22:58, 26 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

A dormitory at a college is not notable!So the figure will be precisely one.Winged Blades^Godric 15:08, 27 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Comment I added two English-language sources and a Bengali one to a further reading section. She had the palace Puthia Rajbari built in 1895, funded a dormitory at Rajshahi (or Rajshahye) College in 1899 or 1901 (Hemantakumari Hostel), and endowed the Department of Sanskrit there in 1904 (Hemanta Kumari Sanskrit College). So she's the sort of individual one might expect to find in an encyclopedia. The article helps counter Wikipedia's systemic bias in coverage with respect to gender, geography, and recentism. That said, the secondary sources identified so far are admittedly thin, supporting no more than a stub at this time. --Worldbruce (talk) 10:04, 27 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry to state--I'm a Bengali and can't discover any secondary source to thrust her to encycloepadic notability.And systemic bias doesn't mean we discount the policies of WP:RS,WP:GNG etc. when discussing on AFDs concerned with certain spheres and countries.Winged Blades^Godric 15:08, 27 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. considering the historical significance. It's difficult to translate this into our present-day criteria, but what she did was exeptional in its time. DGG ( talk ) 22:30, 4 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]
