The subject is not notable and does meet the guidelines for politicians. He has not been elected to any office. The article seems like a vanity project and has been edited by him/or a user who shares his name. Vinegarymass911 (talk) 01:06, 14 December 2018 (UTC)
 * Draftify/Userfy It's not even as much of a politician article as it is a general biography article. His position is equivalent to like Republican/Democrat County Chapter President in the US, except without having any public office. As for current sources, 1 and 2 are dead links. Source 6 (which is cited as many times) is published by a company he works for and is therefore not independent. 7, 8 and 9 are all passing mentions. However, within the past couple weeks, there's been a lot of coverage on him because he's trying to run for offices but some officials won't accept his nomination papers, apparently because he wants Bangladesh to be a social welfare state. Article fociusing on him here If he winds up getting elected, then it could be moved back out into the mainspace.  Willsome 4 29  (say hey or see my edits!) 16:58, 14 December 2018 (UTC)

 * Delete. Nothing stated here is "inherently" notable enough to guarantee him a Wikipedia article just for existing, but the references aren't reliable source coverage about him for the purposes of clearing WP:GNG — they're all either primary sources that do not demonstrate notability at all, or glancing namechecks of his existence in news articles that aren't about him. No prejudice against recreation if he actually wins the election he's currently running in, but even if that happens the article will still have to be written and sourced a lot differently than this.
