Not notable, fails WP:GNG. The position of the imam of a mosque in a university in Qatar is not inherently notable. Vinegarymass911 (talk) 10:23, 14 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: Islam, Bangladesh, and Qatar. Vinegarymass911 (talk) 10:23, 14 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I support your concept. Note that I mentioned at the beginning of the article that he is a Bangladeshi Journalist, which hopefully follows a notable guideline.(WP:GNG) Every news source I've linked mentions his journalism. Especially valid sources like Kaler kantho and Dhaka Post can be checked (at reference). You can try translate to avoid regional language. For example, he served in various positions in the country's top online media Banglanews24.com, Dainik Desh-Rupantar and Dhaka Post. (Translated). If necessary, the sentence (imam of a mosque in a university in Qatar) can be removed from the article and can be preferred Bangladeshi journalist. Above all, I respect your opinion.

No, being a journalist does not make one notable nor links to their handful of articles.Vinegarymass911 (talk) 16:06, 15 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you. If it (the notability) means that takes place in a large space in a short period of time, it is not lacking in significance. Because his being the imam of Qatar University mosque has been recognized by reliable national newspapers. Which has been a huge response and a matter of pride for the country (Bangladesh).

Delete fails WP:GNG. Only reason the person got some coverage is because he is from Bangladesh, reader loves seeing this type of news. Anyway, all of the sources are basically interview (also for some reason text are almost identical), primary. আফতাবুজ্জামান (talk) 12:33, 23 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Delete I concur with আফতাবুজ্জামান's analysis of the sources, and have removed six of them to reduced the WP:CITEKILL. The remaining four dated 26/27 November are the same story repeated in different outlets with minor variations. Per footnote #4 of WP:GNG, they count as only one source. Of the remaining four sources: findglocal.com is user-generated content (see "How do I add my listing?"[1]) so not reliable; two are author profiles at news outlets where he has published stories, so not independent; and one is his Google scholar profile, which is indiscriminate and doesn't demonstrate notability as a journalist or academic. --Worldbruce (talk) 16:47, 23 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Keep if can. First of all, sorry for adding a few links where similar news is published again and again. Wordbruce you removed a few links (thanks). Apart from online portals on his Journalism, Becoming an Imam/Khatib and biography are also mentioned in printed paper (can't link). Also Wikipedia has articles of this type. "Check it out" [2]. Is there any way to keep it without deleting it completely? Templates can be used if needed. Equivalent to the opinion of the experienced. Ontor22 (talk) 18:25, 23 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Strong Keep per Ontor22's decision. CastJared (talk) 15:05, 28 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Ontor22's decision? I should also note, all of the sources are from 26 & 27 November 2022. I am unable to find anything after that or before. Looks like temporary one-time coverage. আফতাবুজ্জামান (talk) 22:09, 28 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I think I suggest to Oppose and instead, Strong Delete. CastJared (talk) 22:44, 28 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
