WP:PROF does not apply. The person was appointed Pro-VC, therefore criteria #6 doesn't apply either. Most references are either WP:SPS or from low-coverage news sources. There is no significant coverage. WP:BARE is present. &mdash; T. 10:57, 14 November 2022 (UTC)

 * Delete. Not notable. The article should be deleted. Same article has also been deleted from Bangla Wikipedia.--Factcheckerhuman (talk) 14:31, 15 November 2022 (UTC)

 * Oppose. Yes, the article contains some opinionated sources. But the article also contains some significant sources, find one here. Also his book (Bengali poet Fakir Lalon Shah: oral poetry and tradition in the social context of contemporary Bangladesh, OCLC identifier is 46450219) is important book on Lalon philosophy. See another significant coverage. Also as far as I know his English Literature: Perspective and Criticism book (I don't have a reference to it at the moment though) is included in university syllabus. So I think it should not be deleted. So Keep it or Redirect Islamic University, Bangladesh. Deloar Akram (Talk • Contribute) 14:58, 17 November 2022 (UTC)
 *  Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.


 * Redirect Islamic University, Bangladesh — Shah Emtiaj  ☎  📝  14:08, 22 November 2022 (UTC)
 * Bad choice for a redirect. That section should only be for people notable enough to have standalone articles. —David Eppstein (talk) 15:43, 23 November 2022 (UTC)
 * Delete. I didn't find the published book reviews that might allow him to pass WP:AUTHOR and nothing else stands out as enough for WP:PROF or WP:GNG notability. —David Eppstein (talk) 17:18, 23 November 2022 (UTC)
 * Delete Although a large number of sources are cited, they are of poor quality. They tend to be passing mentions, such as "... addressed the programme" or "attended a discussion". Or they lack independence, such as being written by one of his students or a close colleague who works with him in the English Department. I can't evaluate the two links major contributor provided above, because they're both 404s. But my own searches in English and Bengali have not found significant coverage in independent, reliable sources. As a professor and deputy to the vice chancellor, he may be a relatively big fish within Islamic University, Bangladesh, but to Wikipedia he's an ordinary professor and administrator who doesn't stand out from the crowd, who doesn't meet WP:PROF or WP:GNG. --Worldbruce (talk) 17:09, 25 November 2022 (UTC)
