The sole source for this bio is a good one, but I haven't found anything else, searching by transliterated or Bengali-script name, that is more than just an acknowledgement of translator or editor or cover designer credit. WP:BASIC requires multiple sources so that a balanced article can be written that doesn't simply repeat one person's point of view. If the subject were notable, then writers would have written about him, in depth, independently in multiple sources. Worldbruce (talk) 16:12, 19 June 2015 (UTC)

 * DELETE. I scoured for mentions of this person online from WP:RS and only found the one reference used. Editors would not be able to fulfill WP:BASIC within the near future. E. Lee (talk) 16:22, 19 June 2015 (UTC)

 * Keep, few sources are added. Ibrahim Husain Meraj (talk) 02:03, 8 July 2015 (UTC)
 * Thanks for seeking out those sources. They all seem to be passing mentions of the kind I talked about in the nomination, though - book catalog listings and "such-and-such a book by so-and-so, translated by Hasan Khurshid Rumi, published by ..." There's no doubt that he translated many books, but Wikipedia doesn't have articles on authors, or translators, just because their names are on a lot of books. Enough people have to have written about the person for a full and balance biographical article to be constructed. My Bengali is very rudimentary, so I might be mistaken about the depth of these sources. Could you provide a small number of quotes and translations that demonstrate more than trivial coverage?
