Originally nominated for PROD by DA1 with the reason: "The article falls under WP:DEL14, that is WP:NOT #3. Aside form citation 1 which delves into the term, and citation 3 which is a dictionary link; the rest of the citations and most of the article is anecdotal examples of the term in use and not descriptive or encyclopedic at all."

 * Comment. The Bengali word appears to be আঁতেল. This does indeed have a large number of usages in Bengali sources.  That in itself does not make it suitable for a Wikipedia article.  The nominator admits that one source has some encycopaedic discussion.  There is also nothing wrong with including anecdotal examples, as long as that is not all there is.  I am struggling with the language here, as I do not speak it, but as we have one source already, just one more is enough for multiple sources. This book is showing this snippet;
 * সেই কারণে একটি আসন্ন-প্রকাশ দৈনিক পত্রিকা তার উদ্বোধনী বিজ্ঞাপনে জানিয়ে দিতে সাহসী হতে পারে যে, 'আঁতেল' কোনো কিছু প্রশ্রয় পাবে না ঐ পত্রিকায়। অর্থাৎ আমাদের বুঝে নিতে 'অঁাতেল' অর্থাৎ বুদ্ধিবোধের বিশ্লেষণ, সামাজিক ও সাংস্কৃতিক সমস্যার ...
