Gaan Friendz

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Delete. Advertorially toned article about a YouTube channel, "referenced" entirely to (a) its own self-published content about itself and (b) non-notable blogs, with the exception of one piece of deadlinked media coverage. I would ordinarily just have speedied this, but it's already been speedied twice as blatant advertising and then got recreated again a third time in exactly the same form -- so unfortunately it has to come to AFD this time, so we can apply a liberal dose of WP:SALT.

 * comment Without at this point expressing an opinion on the topic, a technology upgrade at the Dhaka Tribune went horribly wrong a couple weeks ago. After days of the site being nearly unreachable, they seem to have attempted a rollback. Perhaps 40% of links are now broken. Their home page says they're working on the problem, and I'm confident they'll bring that dead link back to life, but it may take a while. Also note that the Daily Manobkantha (manobkantha.com) is a legitimate Bengali-language Dhaka newspaper, and likely reliable for anything a newspaper is usually reliable for. --Worldbruce (talk) 02:09, 25 January 2017 (UTC)
