Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Pak Sar Jamin Sad Bad (2nd nomination)

The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this page.

The result was keep. Between the withdrawal by the sockpuppet nominator, the lack of editors arguing for Delete and the sock activity, consider this a procedural Keep. Those who didn't want Keep advocated a Merge. Editors can set about merging content to a target article after this AFD is closed. Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 01:11, 24 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Not notable according to Wikipedia:Notability (books); the sources are mainly about the author's death. Foxsh (talk) 00:01, 17 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Note - "Withdrawn by nominator". This nomination page has been withdrawn by the nominator by myself. The novel is significant and also popular in Bengali language. Foxsh (talk) 10:19, 18 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Merge to the author's page at Humayun Azad#Literary works. Joyous! | Talk 02:37, 17 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Merge, per above. WesSirius (talk) 02:41, 17 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Merge. Not a notable novel, see: Wikipedia:BOOKCRIT. The novel is not popular among readers community, it has not any English translation nor it has won any single award. The author's all works are not notable. 43.245.123.49 (talk) 05:06, 17 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Merge to author's page at Humayun Azad#Literary works. The novel has no literary significance in the Bengali literature sector, moreover the author is not so significant too that any of his work would have an Wikipedia article. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 103.67.157.231 (talk) 07:20, 17 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Keep The book received significant coverage in Bangladesh including negative ones from prominent author Humayun Ahmed and member of parliament Delwar Hossain Sayeedi who called for his arrest after the book was published. It satisfies point one, the book has received independent coverage, and five, the author is significant who was targeted for assassination by Islamists for writing this book, of Wikipedia:Notability (books). For reference, I would point out coverage in sources 1, 2, 3 and 4. See the contributions of the nom and 103.67.157.231 overlap at Women in the Bangladesh Army, a case of the Wikipedia:QUACK.Vinegarymass911 (talk) 16:35, 17 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Keep per Vinegarymass911. --আফতাবুজ্জামান (talk) 23:39, 17 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Keep @আফতাবুজ্জামান:, @আফতাব ভাই; এই তথ্যসূত্রটি নিবন্ধটিতে যুক্ত করে দিন, এবং এটিও। Murir Tin (talk) 01:47, 18 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Comment:, @Vinegarymass911:, Yes, you are right, the novel is very significant in Bengali literature. Murir Tin (talk) 01:59, 18 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. The novel is one of the top selling novels of Bangladesh, and another user has already added a good reference recently from the Indian newspaper The Hindu. Jurir Tin (talk) 02:05, 18 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. Gurir Tin (talk) 02:14, 18 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. Novel is notable. Jhurir Tin (talk) 02:32, 18 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Note - I want to have this nomination page to be deleted. Foxsh (talk) 08:56, 18 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
This AFD page needs to be kept for historical reasons (and others have commented in this page) Tropicalkitty (talk) 08:59, 18 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
But you can withdraw the nomination, as nobody else has asked for the article to be deleted. See WP:WDAFD. Phil Bridger (talk) 09:33, 18 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@Phil Bridger:, I am withdrawing this nomination. Foxsh (talk) 09:46, 18 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. I have added one reference that is a solid proof of the book's notability. Pabbay (talk) 09:11, 18 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Comment Can someone please do a sockpuppeting check here? Murir Tin, Gurir Tin, Jurir Tin, Jhurir Tin? Could you make it a little less obvious? No opinion yet on the notability, though The Daily Star looks good for the start (BD News and Hindu are a passing mention). Jovanmilic97 (talk) 11:15, 18 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. The book's notability has not been proven by The Daily Star or The Hindu newspaper news. We need strong news and reviews about the novel. 116.58.202.78 (talk) 12:27, 18 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
The book has been covered in English-language books such as [1] and [2]. Phil Bridger (talk) 13:28, 18 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. The novel is very notable - Thanks to @Phil Bridger:. 116.58.201.76 (talk) 13:51, 18 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Comment Can we get some admin attention? This has become quite a mess, and I feel we can see one person talking to themselves through voting for keep and delete from various accounts.Vinegarymass911 (talk) 20:44, 18 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, I agree. I think the best thing to do would be to close this discussion as void and to let a good-faith editor renominate it if needed. Phil Bridger (talk) 21:07, 18 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Keep per @Vinegarymass911: (I feel that he is a Bengali) and also the novel is notable according to @Phil Bridger:'s two mentioned books. 43.245.121.253 (talk) 02:33, 19 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Keep per Vinegarymass911.Pharaoh of the Wizards (talk) 20:52, 21 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
