 * Keep - Although this piece is unsourced in its current state, this is a legitimate American ethnicity and the subject of some academic study, such as Sanghamitra Niyogi, "Bengali-American Fiction in Immigrant Identity Work," in the journal Cultural Sociology.

 *  Keep Convert to Disambiguation page - I see enough google hits for the term "Bengali American" to say that the topic is worth a wikipage. I am also sympathetic to the fact that the Bengalis are divided across a national boundaries and, so, there are reasons for them to have a page devoted to the Bengali ethnicity independent of nationalities. Can we tag the page asking people to expand the article, and revisit the issue in a year's time? Kautilya3 (talk) 16:13, 21 October 2014 (UTC)
 * I have changed my mind after seeing the reference to the previous AfD. Kautilya3 (talk) 18:28, 24 October 2014 (UTC)

 * Comment as per nom an editor from Bangladesh in Previous AFD convert to Disambiguation page. The  term Bengali  is used by  mainly Bengali Indian Americans of whom many are covered in Indian American whereas the term Bangladeshi American is used by those from Bangladesh.

 * Of course it will be better if its disambiguation, a few names and 3-4 lines of description fulfills the criteria. Bladesmulti (talk) 17:17, 26 October 2014 (UTC)
