Copyright concerns
I have removed sections of text as copyright violations. These should not be restored. As a small example the removed text had a paragraph starting "As a part of the long drawn movement against the autocratic rule" which is identical to the source. There are many other sentences which are identical or too closely paraphrased. Please do not restore this text without further discussion. I am confident in my assessment of this as a copyright violation, and so it should not be restored, but if you disagree you can seek a second opinion - I suggest User:Moonriddengirl.

I've done a thorough rewrite but part of the problem is that almost all the details we know about his early life come from one source, which is the one cited above, or Banglapedia. Does anybody know of a better or more contemporary source? Perhaps in Bengali? Surely there must be some interviews with the family about Noor? Crtew (talk) 10:25, 11 June 2013 (UTC)

Birthplace
It seems highly unlikely that Hossain was born in Narinda, Dhaka in 1961 as his family was said to move from their village in the south of Bangladesh to the Dhaka capital only after 1971. Can anyone confirm with sources independent from Banglapedia? Crtew (talk) 10:15, 11 June 2013 (UTC)

Rename
The article will be moved to Noor Hossain as that is the search term of his name in latin script that pulls up the most information. However, there is enough under Nur Hossain to justify noting in the lead that this is an alternative form. Crtew (talk) 10:27, 11 June 2013 (UTC)

Requested move

 * The following discussion is an archived discussion of the proposal. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. No further edits should be made to this section. 

The result of the proposal was moved. For now, we'll keep the disambiguation page, this time at Noor Hossain (disambiguation). --BDD (talk) 00:52, 8 February 2014 (UTC)

Noor Hossain (activist) → Noor Hossain – This person looks more important than the cricketer and should be the primary meaning. PatGallacher (talk) 14:50, 26 January 2014 (UTC)


 * ✅ He is more important than the cricketer. - Rahat (Talk * Contributions) 17:36, 26 January 2014 (UTC)
 * Oppose - the name as exists is concise and informative. There is really no sense in making the name more ubiquitous and confusing. Hugely debatable arguments of "importance" just lead to ongoing arguments and desires to change names again. And, of course, "importance" and notability changes over time; again leading to yet more pointless disgussions. I would support both articles being given a descriptive name, with the bare name article being used as a disambiguation page. --Rushton2010 (talk) 23:03, 26 January 2014 (UTC)
 * Not sure what you mean, these arguments could be used against deciding that anyone is the primary topic, see WP:PRIMARYTOPIC. PatGallacher (talk) 12:41, 28 January 2014 (UTC)
 * Comment - how clearly distinct is this spelling from Noor Hussain Al-Malki and other similarly named articles? In ictu oculi (talk) 13:35, 28 January 2014 (UTC)
 * Move. This is a WP:TWODABS situation, and this article is clearly the primary topic of the two. The page was viewed 2,251 times in 90 days compared to 143 for the cricket player. The dab page itself was viewed 224, further suggesting that more readers are seeking the activist.--Cúchullain t/ c 16:59, 3 February 2014 (UTC)
