I had prodded the article questioning the lack of reliable source. The prod was removed with a statement which said, more or less, the person is exceptionally notable. No reliable sources were added. The person surely exists, but I've not been able to still find reliable sources for notability. Request AfD '' ▒ ♪ ♫ Wifione ♫ ♪  ▒  ―Œ  ♣Łeave Ξ мessage♣  04:21, 5 March 2010 (UTC)


 * Weak Keep. If a Wikipedian considers the person "exceptionally notable", then will that person please provide references showing notability?  Jim Heaphy (talk) 05:33, 5 March 2010 (UTC)

 * Comment. I'm finding it difficult to find any significant online coverage in the Latin alphabet, but these sources refer to the subject as a leading exponent of her genre, so it's very likely that offline and/or Bengali sources exist. Phil Bridger (talk) 17:04, 6 March 2010 (UTC)
 * Further comment. I know that these may not be cast-iron reliable sources, but the subject is one of the dozen or two singers mentioned in these two overviews of Bengali music, implying that she may well be "exceptionally notable". The problem is that it's very difficult to find online English sources for Bengali singers who were active half a century ago. Phil Bridger (talk) 17:28, 6 March 2010 (UTC)

 * Note: This debate has been included in the list of Bangladesh-related deletion discussions.  I'm listing this under Bangladesh even though the subject was Indian, because it may catch the eye of an editor who can search in Bengali. —Phil Bridger (talk) 17:35, 6 March 2010 (UTC)
 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so consensus may be reached.


 * Delete. Problems with translating language sources are unfortunate. But much less unfortunate than bios floating around with no sources whatsoever or unreliable sources. This article is nowhere near passing notability standards. Unless that changes, it must go. --Mkativerata (talk) 22:55, 13 March 2010 (UTC)
