 * Strong & speedy keep Even sources provided on the article alone establish WP:NBASIC, let alone the numerous (mostly in Bengali) out there which aren't included. Was featured in or has made it to the cover pages of multiple notable magazines, made numerous TV appearances, video interview from media giants like BBC (I know these kind of coverage are PS, just stating for the sake of it), headlines from printed dailies, in depth coverage, part of top Bengali sports people lists by reputable media...you just name it. Fo shizz the subject meets NBASIC or GNG by several orders of magnitude, no additional criteria needed, for instance, WP:NMOTORSPORT, which the nominator referred to. PS: Check out the talk page discussion between me and nominator. Tame (talk) 20:13, 6 February 2022 (UTC)

 * Speedy keep and I urge to withdraw this post-haste. SNGs such as WP:NMOTORSPORT are subsidiary to WP:GNG. GNG is met via the incredibly adequate (for an article of its size) sourcing in the article and a claim to significance is already made in the article, "Bangladesh's first international motor sports event winner,[15][16][17][18][19]". - "Ghost  of  Dan Gurney"  02:46, 7 February 2022 (UTC)
 * Comment Don't be really surprised seeing John nominating it. At the time of nomination, they did the appropriate thing as a page reviewer. It had2-3 lines with factual accuracy disputed. Although now, IMO, the nomination should be withdrawn sooner rather than later. And the article should be speedy kept. Tame (talk) 04:21, 7 February 2022 (UTC)
 * Keep Obviously doesn't meet WP:NMOTORSPORT (as of yet), but there's definitely enough already cited in the article for a WP:GNG pass: Ice Today, United News of Bangladesh , Business Standard and Kaler Kantho . There should be some reference cleaning to wipe out the massive WP:REFBOMBING though, a lot of it is puffery, poorly written articles or duplicates of each other (such as the one about his Facebook post).

 * My ISP has blocked access to Ice Today as a possible scam site so I can't comment on that one. The other three seem to be full of puffery and inaccuracies. I don't see any sources that put don't national pride above objective reporting. --John B123 (talk) 21:30, 7 February 2022 (UTC)

 * The other three seem to be full of puffery and inaccuracies, Well the pride part is partially considerable, but I don't see any factual inaccuracies, at least not in those listed 4 sources. The article has refs from numerous pubs which are considered reliable, if you think otherwise, might take a gander at em by posting in reliability noticeboard?

 * Even if u discard the whole racing driver part, his side gigs, such as web shows alone have received considerable amount of coverage. I will be baffled to see anyone else also thinking he doesn't meet GNG or NBASIC.Tame (talk) 21:59, 7 February 2022 (UTC)
