Non notable author. Fails WP:N. Much of the content of this article is constantly being added by the subject via anon IPs from his college and various socks. Author returns only 220+ (non-wiki, non-blogspot) google results. In his native Bangladesh, the author is not notable other than fleeting mentions in a few places. Note that, many of the ghits are not even about this author but about different persons. Also, some of the google results (even after filtering out blogspots) are self-published by the subject. --Ragib (talk) 20:56, 18 February 2008 (UTC)

• Delete Apparently non notable author.--NAHID 19:14, 20 February 2008 (UTC)

Delete immidiatelybecause he claims that he is a biographer of Nobel Prize winner Muhammad Yunus, but he is not. Yunus came to York College to Inaugurate York College Grameen Scholarship—on Monday, February 11 at 7pm. Bari was not invited. Please delete him.

• Delete: This source seems to confirm that he is the biographer of that book. This one (which includes a photo of the book cover) does also. However, there's no evidence that I can find that this book is notable. I only get 6 ghits on it, so I can't find anything helpful there. I found 77 distinct google hits on the author, but only one other came up from an apparently reliable source: it's a book review he wrote. Lacking further reliable sources to verify otherwise, he just doesn't seem to meet bio at this time. --Moonriddengirl ^(talk) 21:06, 25 February 2008 (UTC)
