 * Keep meet #3 and 5 WP:NBADMINTON. Won the Bangladesh Int'l in 2002, also the national championships. Stvbastian (talk) 12:27, 29 July 2017 (UTC)
 * Keep certainly passes WP:NBADMINTON, but i think her forename needs looking into as some sources have her down as Elina and Elena. Iantheimp (talk) 10:22, 30 July 2017 (UTC)
 * Keep Subject meets #3 and #5 of WP:BADMINTON as per Svtbastian, plus winning the national championship confers notability. Donald1659 (talk) 14:00, 30 July 2017 (UTC)
 * Keep National champion several times, clearly notable. Pam  D  14:10, 30 July 2017 (UTC)
 * Speedy keep per WP:NBADMINTON. Hmlarson (talk) 00:24, 31 July 2017 (UTC)
 * Comment With regard to WP:NBADMINTON #3, there's no obvious reliable source for "Won the Bangladesh Int'l in 2002". If it's a reason that she's notable, the fact should be added to the article, with a citation. With regard to WP:NBADMINTON #5, Bangladesh has never sent an athlete to the Olympics to compete in badminton. The criterion could be read literally, ignoring context, but surely it wasn't intended to make a national badminton champion notable if their country regularly sends a swimmer to the Olympics. Isn't the implicit assumption that if the country competes in badminton at the Olympics, then the level of play in the country must be high enough that being a national champion would be notable? --Worldbruce (talk) 20:19, 31 July 2017 (UTC)
 * Keep Notable badminton player, meets GNG per WP:NBADMINTON. Florentyna (talk) 18:40, 1 August 2017 (UTC)
 * Which criterion of WP:NBADMINTON? What source proves it? There has been much Follow the leader, but no evidence and little discussion. --Worldbruce (talk) 01:21, 2 August 2017 (UTC)
 * #3 and #5, both of which are reliably sourced in the article. I don't speak Bengali, so I can't confirm the sources actually say what they're purported to say, but there's no reason to believe they don't. Smartyllama (talk) 14:11, 3 August 2017 (UTC)


 * Keep Clearly notable per WP:NBADMINTON. One of 50+ badminton AfDs created by same user. All but this and one other one were created within a span of about half an hour or so and have already been closed as keep with no delete !votes other than nominator. This and the one other open one were created a day later, which is the only reason they are still open. Perhaps this is a matter for WP:ANI at this point as nominator has shown no WP:BEFORE work whatsoever. Smartyllama (talk) 14:07, 3 August 2017 (UTC)
 * Delete not enough references to show notability.John Pack Lambert (talk) 02:36, 4 August 2017 (UTC)
