 * Keep per "The Dhaka Union of Journalists (DUJ) is the biggest unit. The pro-BNP group has some 7,000 members with 14 units across the country" and various sources that can be located from a simple WP:BEFORE. One of the largest trade unions in Bangladesh, one of the largest countries in the world, representing thousands of professional journalists, is the type of article an encyclopedia should have. We should use WP:COMMONSENSE regarding articles such as this.Vinegarymass911 (talk) 00:01, 6 September 2023 (UTC)
 *  Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Keep per Vinegarymass911 rationale and a quick search which reveals this is a 70+ old active and prominent organization that has been cited in numerous books and periodicals for decades. Recommend withdrawing the nomination. WilsonP NYC (talk) 17:17, 12 September 2023 (UTC)
 * WilsonP NYC, please be specific about the numerous books and periodicals you found. It would help your argument to actually name those sources or even link to them. Liz Read! Talk! 07:51, 13 September 2023 (UTC)
 * Per WP:BEFORE, prior to this nomination “the minimum search expected is a normal Google search, a Google Bookssearch, a Google News search, and a Google News archive search” and doing so for this article leaves fairly little doubt that this step was skipped.
