 * ✅. Created by the blocked user User:Hukgiol for sockpuppetry (Sockpuppet investigations/Aldota) - Rahat (Talk * Contributions) 06:02, 21 January 2015 (UTC)
 * There's nothing wrong with having tagged the article G5, but I've reverted this non-admin closure because a CSD tagging is insufficient to resolve the issue at AFD (sometimes CSD requests are rejected, for example). If the article is actually deleted via CSD, then it's entirely acceptable to wrap this up as a housekeeping process (I do so frequently myself).

I have in fact declined the speedy nom. While it does appear to have been initially created by a sock, other users acting in good faith have edited it in the intervening months. So it's probably better to let the article stand or fall on its own merits instead of just zapping it because of the initial creator.

 * Redirect I have seen a few passing mentions in multiple reliable sources. I would support a redirect to List of British Bangladeshis, with a short description.  Occult Zone  (Talk • Contributions • Log) 11:48, 12 February 2015 (UTC)


 * Delete; not enough independent notability - and what is claimed is IMO WP:UNRS. I.e., Muslim Aid's history of back-door financing of Hamas renders it a less-than-credible source, and said questionable sourcing features heavily in this article. Pax 21:59, 12 February 2015 (UTC)
 * You believe that these sources are unreliable? Please learn the meaning of redirect and notability.  Occult Zone  (Talk • Contributions • Log) 22:13, 12 February 2015 (UTC)
 * First, neither of those are actually in the article at present; secondly, single-sentence in-passing mentions in large tomes do not constitute notability. (Lastly, please learn the meaning of WP:Battleground.) Pax 06:23, 13 February 2015 (UTC)
 * If it is not mentioned on article, that means it has no existence? Passing mention do constitute notability, they would pass the requirement of a redirect.  Occult Zone  (Talk • Contributions • Log) 06:34, 13 February 2015 (UTC)
 * List of British Bangladeshis is merely a list highlighting notable persons with their own articles; your "trivial mentions" (often call passing mentions) would not confer sufficient notability for a redirect to that article if they are insufficient to confer notability to a stand-alone article.

 * You clearly don't know the meaning of redirect.  Occult Zone  (Talk • Contributions • Log) 11:20, 13 February 2015 (UTC)
 * It doesn't make any sense to redirect a non-notable name to a list where the name will NOT appear.<b style="font-family:georgia; font-size:11pt; color:#BFA3A3"> Pax</b> 11:53, 13 February 2015 (UTC)
