The sources are small author profiles on websites he wrote for and a press release for getting a non-notable award. There is no claim to notability or significance in the article. Vinegarymass911 (talk) 06:01, 9 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Per Nom, Not Notable at all. Untamed1910 (talk) 03:56, 10 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Keep' as there is independent coverage from The Business Standard and the Daily Star - both of which are reputed sources in Bangladesh. Arman ^(Talk) 05:43, 11 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I hate to tell you this but Daily Star is an deprecated source and an unreliable source, there is no reliable sources. Untamed1910 (talk) 15:52, 11 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Is there any specific reason for your categorization of Daily Star, or this is just your POV? Furthermore, the subject has coverage in Prothom Alo and Business Standard as well. Are these deprecated and unreliable sources as well? Arman ^(Talk) 11:04, 12 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Daily Star (United Kingdom) is a deprecated source not The Daily Star (Bangladesh). Either way, the sources are based on a press release on his appointment to the World Ovarian Cancer Coalition, an entirely non-notable organization. While the sources are reliable, they are not in-depth.Vinegarymass911 (talk) 12:03, 12 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Searching in English and Bengali finds no significant coverage in independent reliable sources. The only hits are things written by him or a company with which he's connected, press releases, and passing mentions. The Prothom Alo, The Daily Star and The Business Standard[1] pieces are plainly copied from one original, and their structure and tone scream "press release". The creator seems to have an undisclosed close connection to Somoy TV. They claim the photo, taken three years ago in Adel's office there, is their "own work". They've also been blocked as a sockpuppet for pushing the creation of another bio of a Somoy TV news presenter. --Worldbruce (talk) 05:55, 16 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
