A. Q. M. Zainul Abedin

 * – ( View AfD View log | edits since nomination)

Searches of the usual Google types and a dozen WP:TWL databases, in English and Bengali, found only the reliable sources already cited. There are two brief obituaries (67 and 72 words). How much weight should the obituaries be given with respect to notability? There's a brief mention that he was detained overnight on charges of defamation, a brief quote of him, and a link to one of the two newspapers he edited, showing his name on the masthead (the other, Dainik Kishan, had a circulation of 3,000 in the late 1970s, neither appears notable). We have inclusion criteria because enough people need to have written about a person for a full and balanced biographical article to be constructed. If the subject were notable, then he would have been written about in greater depth. Worldbruce (talk) 05:01, 22 July 2023 (UTC) Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Liz Read!
