Wikipedia:WikiProject Deletion sorting/Bangladesh

Shortcut

This is a collection of discussions on the deletion of articles related to Bangladesh. It is one of many deletion lists coordinated by WikiProject Deletion sorting. Anyone can help maintain the list on this page.

Adding a new AfD discussion
Adding an AfD to this page does not add it to the main page at WP:AFD. Similarly, removing an AfD from this page does not remove it from the main page at WP:AFD. If you want to nominate an article for deletion, go through the process on that page before adding it to this page. To add a discussion to this page, follow these steps:
  1. and add {{Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/PageName}} to the top of the list. Replace "PageName" with the relevant article name, i.e. the one on the existing AFD discussion. Also, indicate the title of the article in the edit summary as it is particularly helpful to add a link to the article in the edit summary. When you save the page, the discussion will automatically appear.
  2. You should also tag the AfD by adding {{subst:delsort|Bangladesh|~~~~}} to it, which will inform editors that it has been listed here. You may place this tag above or below the nomination statement or at the end of the discussion thread.
There are a few scripts and tools that can make this easier.
Removing a closed AfD discussion
Closed AfD discussions are automatically removed by a bot.
Other types of discussions
You can also add and remove other discussions (prod, CfD, TfD etc.) related to Bangladesh. For the other XfD's, the process is the same as AfD (except {{Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion/PageName}} is used for MFD and {{transclude xfd}} for the rest). For PRODs, adding a link with {{prodded}} will suffice.
Further information
For further information see Wikipedia's deletion policy and WP:AfD for general information about Articles for Deletion, including a list of article deletions sorted by day of nomination.

This list is also part of the larger list of deletion debates related to Asia.

Vanity spam, sourced to nonsense and non RS - see previous deletions as well. I'll outline more when I have access to a computer but this has been a long term spam project in terms of attempts to get an article. In any case, the subject doesn't meet even the bare requirements for notability. GRINCHIDICAE🎄 21:18, 16 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

~~Comment~~ Weak keep: Recognize I'm coming here before the AFD nomination is completely filled out, but some of the sources seem to have reliable coverage:
The only other thing he appears notable for is a bunch of announcements saying he was arrested, among which one of the better ones is:
Some followup coverage of which is here:
Not sure how reliable this source is, although it exists:
This source appears to just summarize a video he made:
And this one summarizes a social media post after giving a little information on him.
Didn't search for any more, but based on what's there, it's kinda debatable -- there is 1 good source, and a bunch of not-great not-super-thorough sources covering him getting criminally charged, which might be questioned under WP:NOTNEWS. Mrfoogles (talk) 02:10, 17 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
@Oblivy brought up it meets WP:BASIC and I read the article again -- it's definitely written in a promotional way and has tone issues, but (importantly) given the multiple-paragraph summary of his work in the one good source and the apparent continuing coverage in various sources of his interactions with various legal systems it seems worth a keep, if it needs a bit of a rewrite. Mrfoogles (talk) 02:13, 17 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete This is a wholly negative WP:BLP page and while there is coverage would need to be completely rewritten in order to meet our standards. SportingFlyer T·C 03:29, 17 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    The lead and first three sections have no negative content at all (unless his treatment by the Awami League government is a demerit). If anything the Life in Exile section is excessively positive. The last section is well sourced, making this definitionally not an attack page. Can you point to or explain the standards you are relying on for your delete vote? Oblivy (talk) 04:24, 17 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

The individual Zulkarnain Saer Khan partook in the orchestration of a dossier denominated All the Prime Minister's Men. Consequent to the helping of this dossier, he was the recipient of a commendation entitled the Global Shining Light Awards. The Global Shining Light Awards is bereft of eminence or substantial prestige in any capacity. The mere attainment of the Global Shining Light Awards does not fullfill the criteria of notability (person), as the dossier All the Prime Minister's Men itself fails to consummately fulfill the stringent prerequisites of notability.

Furthermore, the article is an absolute dearth of elucidation absent his academic credentials. Additionally, the article harbors superfluous and extraneous verbiage, including allusions to assailments perpetrated against his brother. Hydronex (talk) 20:21, 4 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

"The person has created or played a major role in co-creating a significant or well-known work or collective body of work. In addition, such work must have been the primary subject of multiple independent periodical articles or reviews."
But no other work by the individual in the article can be found apart from All the Prime Minister's Men, and All the Prime Minister's Men is neither a significant nor a well-known work. This means the individual does not fulfill point three of Wikipedia:Notability_(people)#Creative_professionals. Hydronex (talk) 17:42, 6 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Comment: All the Prime Minister's Men is definitely a well-known work. It got wide coverage in Bangladeshi and some international media apart from Al Jazeera Media.[1][2][3][4][5] [6] Al Jazeera also won the top prize for "Best Human Rights Journalism" (investigation category) in the 8th annual Amnesty Media award for 'All the Prime Minister's Men'.[7] Niasoh ❯❯❯ Wanna chat? 09:17, 8 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep - Notable journalist in Bangladesh. He is widely recognized for impactful investigative work with Al Jazeera and OCCRP. His contributions, media coverage, and awards meet Wikipedia’s notability criteria WP:NJOURNALIST.

@Koshuri Sultan, He hasn’t asked for any support in his favour. He has just asked me to take a look. Maybe because this article is related to Bangladesh. [8] — Cerium4B—Talk? • 14:10, 8 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete: It is the responsibility of those who vote keep to provide a solid argument. Nothing can be gained from canvassed or paid votes. The article is highly promotional and lacks neutral tone. It overemphasizes achievements while downplaying controversies, making it more like a PR piece than an encyclopedic entry. The subject fails WP:NBLP, as most coverage comes from sympathetic or affiliated sources rather than independent, in-depth analysis. NXcrypto Message 04:34, 9 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Relisting comment: A source review would be helpful. But, at the least, this should be a redirect to All the Prime Minister's Men which I'm surprised editors arguing for Delete didn't mention.

This unreleased film (apparently filmed in 2022) fails WP:NFILM, which specifies that Films that have not been confirmed by reliable sources to have commenced principal photography should not have their own articles. This movie's coverage is limited to tabloid-style mentions in unbylined articles that trigger the concerns of WP:NEWSORGINDIA. Thus, the articles that reference to the film's production are not reliable sources. Until such time as the the production is confirmed by reliable sources or the film is released and given full-length reviews by multiple reliable sources, there is no pass of WP:NFILM or WP:GNG. (Note that the promotional bio of the filmmaker by the same page creator is also up for deletion for similar reasons.) Dclemens1971 (talk) 04:36, 28 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  • Draftify.: And wait for release. Not sure all the coverage is really "not reliable", btw. For example, please note that established tabloids can be used per WP:TABLOID. What makes you say, for example, that, Bangladesh Pratidin cannot be used for verification of uncontroversial facts? even not bylined articles. Also, please note that, even if certain users insist that that section of an informational page can apply to all the subctontinent, using WP:NEWSORGINDIA for other countries than India is something that may be frowned upon by certain users. The lead actor having died last year and this apparently wrapped film being one of his last, I suppose a Redirect and [minimal/simple mention] merge to Ahmed Rubel could also be considered. (with the following source, https://www.alokitobangladesh.com/print-edition/entertainment/171837/আসছে-আহমেদ-রুবেল-অভিনীত-সিনেমা-অন্তর্বর্তী or https://follow-upnews.com/জীবনযাপন/এসএম-কাইয়ুম-এর-পরিচালনা/ -Mushy Yank. 10:02, 28 January 2025 (UTC) [For the record, full quote of applicable guideline, above in green is: "Additionally, films that have already begun shooting, but have not yet been publicly released (theatres or video), should generally not have their own articles unless the production itself is notable per the notability guidelines." (emphasis mine).-Mushy Yank. 10:06, 28 January 2025 (UTC)][reply]
    MY, I fundamentally disagree that the Akolito Bangladesh story (authored by "Entertainment Reporter") and the Follow-UpNews story (with no byline at all) constitute the kind of WP:SIGCOV necessary to make the production itself notable. They cannot be considered reliable. WP:NEWSORGINDIA applies to all South Asian entertainment coverage, in which unbylined coverage has a reasonably high likelihood of being paid/sponsored placement and thus cannot be relied upon per the WP:RSP guideline of Exercise caution in using such sources for factual claims or to establish notability. Look at the tone and language of the article, its placement in the publication, use of generic bylines not identifying an individual reporter or reviewer, overlap in language with articles found in other publications and on other websites, and others. And for a film to remain unreleased nearly three years after shooting suggests this film may never see the light of day, making a "draftify" outcome less useful. (And given the potential COI and promotional nature of the page creator's edits, I suspect this would result in a quick return to mainspace and we'd be right back here again.) Dclemens1971 (talk) 18:08, 28 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    @Dclemens1971"the Akolito Bangladesh story (authored by "Entertainment Reporter") and the Follow-UpNews story (with no byline at all) constitute the kind of WP:SIGCOVnecessary to make the production itself notable.": but that's not at all what I said! I said to use them to verify and source the role in case it is redirected and merged.
    As for NEWSORGINDIA, again, I understood why you wish to use it, but doing so has been said to hurt the feelings of certain non-Indian South Asian users (and probably of some Indian users too, or even third-party users). To extend it to all South Asian entertainment might also be seen as expressing a Wikipedia:Systemic bias.
    Thank you anyway. -Mushy Yank. 20:37, 28 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Relisting comment: The discourse here is varied, and presently there are notions to delete the article (from the nominator), and notions to Draftify it or Redirect it to Ahmed Rubel, the film's lead actor. This discussion would certainly benefit from more input from other users. Final relist.

  • Comment I can't agree with the framing of the rationale for deletion. Fourteen newspapers are cited saying that principal photography not only began, but was completed. They include some of the most reputable and widely circulated media outlets in Bangladesh: Bangladesh Pratidin, Kaler Kantho, Alokito Bangladesh, Bonik Barta, Samakal, Jaijaidin, The Daily Star, Daily Sun, RTV, Janakantha, and Jugantor. WP:NEWSORGINDIA is explicitly about Indian news organizations, not Bangladeshi ones or other South Asian entertainment coverage. One could debate whether it ought to be about all of South Asia, or indeed the entire world, but this is not the place for that discussion. I find that there are ample reliable sources to support that shooting is complete.
That being said, I don't believe that sources that say who the cast and crew are, that filming is complete, and that editing is underway are enough to make the production itself notable. The WP:NFF advice that an unreleased film generally should not have its own article applies. So I agree with Dclemens1971 and Mushy Yank that this does not belong in article space. --Worldbruce (talk) 06:00, 19 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
If draftify is the preference for this (and the page about its director), then I won't object, although as noted above I suspect draftification will have this article back at AfD sooner than later. Dclemens1971 (talk) 06:25, 19 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  • Draftify per ATD-I. If the film is released and reviewed, someone will undoubtedly write an article about it, and a draft could serve as a useful starting point. There is a risk that creator Md.Monto or someone like them will ignore WP:DRAFT's instruction that they "should ... respond to the reason for moving to draft status, and use the AfC submission process to have the page moved back to mainspace." If that happens, then we will be back here, and next time I would recommend deletion. --Worldbruce (talk) 06:30, 19 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    Hello and thank you @Worldbruce, What about a redirect (even if temporary, should the film be released later)? That would "solve" the "problem", don't you think? -Mushy Yank. 12:21, 19 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    @Mushy Yank: Nothing prevents anyone from creating a redirect after draftification. I don't understand how having one would solve the problem of promotional editing by one or more undeclared paid editors in the future. --Worldbruce (talk) 22:08, 19 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    Well, it does not. Hence my double scare quotes. But at least we don't have to worry about the Draft turned into a redirect (:D). And a basic mention on the page of the actor does not seem undue and might satisfy everyone as a compromise. -Mushy Yank. 22:15, 19 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
