Bangla Desh – A Voice of a New Nation

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

Extensive searches found two reviews. Some may argue that this meets the letter of WP:NBOOK criterion #1, but it doesn't meet the spirit. The first review, after stripping away the bibliographic information, the direct quotation, and the reviewer's opinion of what was going on in Bangladesh at the time, boils down to two sentences:

"Physical reality, as in the cover picture as well as in the poems inside, can be so accusing! ... There are a few [of the poets in the 48 page collection] who try desperately to try to sing of love and passion, but their words also turn to mourning."

The second review is not as tissue thin, but is still only a single paragraph (150 words).

Wikipedia aims to treat creative works in an encyclopedic manner, discussing the development, design, reception, significance, and influence of works. It does not aim to be so indiscriminate as to include books about which so little has been written. Worldbruce (talk) 01:37, 24 February 2024 (UTC)

 * Delete, those reviews are not substantially substantive imo to establish notability and build a proper encyclopedic article. Eddie891 Talk Work 18:11, 28 February 2024 (UTC)
