Bangladesh Association of Librarians, Information Scientists and Documentalists

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

This is one of three professional organizations for librarians in Bangladesh. In 2008, it was PRODed by, then de-PRODed by on the grounds that "National societies for major occupations are encyclopedic." Fifteen years later, the article still cites no sources. And WP:NORG has evolved considerably. Now, in addition to being national in scope, non-commercial organizations need to have received significant coverage in multiple, independent, reliable sources.

Primary source news mentions it occasionally, usually as an organizer of a specific event (lecture, seminar, workshop, training, etc.). Otherwise, extensive searches, including of WP:TWL, and in Bengali as well as English, found only a single paragraph about them in Libraries in the Early 21st Century. Even if that paragraph is deemed to be significant coverage, the topic fails the "multiple" aspect of WP:SIRS and WP:NGO part 2. Worldbruce (talk) 21:58, 3 July 2023 (UTC)

 * Delete unreferenced and fails WP:ORG. Would reconsider if there are Bengali sources, but there is no Bengali version of this article. LibStar (talk) 23:35, 3 July 2023 (UTC)
