Lenin Gani

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

I do not see the basis for notability here. Everything depends on unsupported assertions that he is a particularly notable journalist, but the material actually proves only that he is a sports journalist, and not all journalists are notable  DGG ( talk ) 06:28, 5 March 2014 (UTC)
 * Delete Google gives me no sources to prove nobility under WP:GNG.--Jeffrd10 (talk) 14:13, 5 March 2014 (UTC)


 * Keep Lenin Gani was not just an ordinary journalist. He was a well known and highly respected journalist of Bangladesh who was also the Sports Editor of BDNEWS24.


 * In the early part of his career he has had many articles published by leading newspapers of Bangladesh regarding a wide variety of social topics. These were back in the early 90s when digital media was not prevalent in Bangladesh and hence why there is no electronic version of these.


 * He has mostly contributed to the development of sports journalism in Bangladesh and has written many articles which have won him wide recognition in Bangladesh as one of the finest sports journalist in the country. He gained much fame from being one of the first journalists from Bangladesh to have his articles appear on CricInfo.com, which was one of the first international online publications for Cricket. Some of the articles I’ve managed to find are
 * Article 1,
 * Article 2


 * His articles were also used by other writers as references in their own publications e.g. ::Cricket and the Law


 * He rose to fame in Bangladesh when he was awarded by the Dhaka Reporters Unity for the best sports report in 2001. This is a prestigious award that is given to exceptional journalists by their peers.


 * Furthermore, most of the major newspapers in Bangladesh recognised his death as a notable event for journalism in Bangladesh. Some of these papers even published tributes to Lenin Gani.
 * Here are a few of the major publications that I was able to dig up through Google search
 * thedailystar.net,bdnews24.com,dhakatribune.com,newagebd.com,daily-sun.com,natunbarta.com,dhakamirror.com


 * If these publications that circulate to over 150m people thought he was notable enough to mention his death, I would think that would be a strong enough argument to prove notability.12:23, 6 March 2014 (UTC) Jasim Gani

 * Keep The sources found by Jasim Gani above are pretty good. I've added them to the article. -- Green  C  16:42, 8 March 2014 (UTC)

 * Week keep I'm always (I hope, understandably hesitant to make too much use of obituaries as a primary ground for establishing notability, but I think there's probably enough here to at least show it, particularly after adjusting for systemic bias. I remain slightly concerned that I'm finding little under লেনিন গনি, however. --j⚛e deckertalk 15:07, 23 March 2014 (UTC)
