It would appear Mr Rahman is a young musician from Bangladesh. This article fails any of the WP:MUSICIAN, WP:ANYBIO, WP:GNG tests for inclusion as a Wikipedia article. While there appear to mentions of Zahid Rahman in Bengali language that might be considered as reliable sources, like or not, English language citations pretty much determine what is included on the English language Wikipedia. Maybe it shouldn't be? That's a discussion to made somewhere else. Pete AU aka Shirt58 (talk) 11:04, 10 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Comment The basis for the nomination is defective. We do not require English language sources to establish notability. The Bengali refs would be sufficient if they are from reliable independent sources. It looks to me like they’re not, but perhaps a Bengali speaker can let us know?

Delete I checked Bengali refs, all 4 refs are primary (interviews) & promotional. Didn't found anything notable on internet in Bengali. Fails WP:MUSICIAN, WP:ANYBIO, WP:GNG. --আফতাবুজ্জামান (talk) 02:02, 12 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Delete I had CSD A7'd the article. Admittedly, it is a grey area if statements like "gaining fans in 11th grade" and a song being "top played" without any indication of the measure (official charts? youtube?) amount to credible claims of significance. It seems Shirt58 thought it does and chose to nominate for this AfD instead. At any rate, the sources are very much primary and of questionable reliability, therefore failing WP:GNG and also WP:MUSICIAN. _pseudonym Jake Brockman ^talk 04:16, 13 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Delete I too think that it meets A7 criteria but what cannot be disputed is that the subject fails WP:GNG and also WP:MUSICIAN. Best, GPL93 (talk) 20:14, 14 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
