 * Delete Table above shows that WP:GNG has not been met. --TheInsatiableOne (talk) 11:53, 15 June 2023 (UTC)
 * Delete I agree with the source table, there is nothing showing notability, or even using RS. Oaktree b (talk) 13:31, 15 June 2023 (UTC)
 * Keep- The largest circulated newspaper by print sales is the type of article we should have in an encyclopedia. It has been the best-selling newspaper in Bangladesh, a country of over 160 million people, for the last ten years; if that does not suggest notability, then I do not what does. The article is in bad shape, but it can be improved. The Daily Star is a rival publication and the article on Bangladesh Pratidin mentions it is the most circulated newspaper based on the government database while the Daily Star's sister concern, Prothom Alo, comes second; this cannot be considered promotional.Vinegarymass911 (talk) 13:57, 15 June 2023 (UTC)
 * Best selling is not a notable thing.please read WP:IIS and see the examples also. Thanks M.parvage (talk) 14:06, 15 June 2023 (UTC)

 * Comment: The article has been expanded since its nomination, with sources quadrupled.Vinegarymass911 (talk) 16:34, 15 June 2023 (UTC)
 * Keep extensive article expansion and many sources added by @Vinegarymass911 - WP:Hey does apply. Note here that the significant expansion has shown the veritable lack of WP:before undertaken by the nominator.  Also see WP:NMEDIA#2 have served some sort of historic purpose or have a significant history: a fair interpretation of significant history is being the most popular print newspaper in a major nation over a sustained period (and this is verified by WP:RS in the article).
