Mashrur Arefin

 * – ( View AfD View log )

Some trivial mentions and self written articles have been used as references. No notable works to keep his article in Wikipedia. This is possibly a paid article or written by the person himself. Highly promotional. 103.4.65.218 (talk) 17:03, 9 September 2021 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus. Relisting comment: relisting despite relatively clear consensus, as this hasn't really been open for 7 days, and closing early risks wasting community time at DRV.
 * Keep this person got significant reliable coverage pass WP:GNG and WP:SIGCOV Breekup69 (talk) 17:49, 9 September 2021 (UTC)
 * Keep. Notable subject with plenty of reliable sources proving this notability.--SouthernNights (talk) 13:07, 12 September 2021 (UTC)
 * Procedural comment. This AfD was initially created in the wrong namespace and was not added to the log until September 11. A relist may be appropriate to ensure the discussion is visible for a full seven days. – Lord Bolingbroke (talk) 16:01, 12 September 2021 (UTC)
 * Keep The article meets the General notability guidelines. All 3 issues mentioned by the IP user/ edit is wrong. Written like an ad is too broad and too generic statement about articles. If an article have issues on writing style and sources, it can be added to that specific section, and start a discussion on the talk page. I saw that the article is mostly written by one single user and that does not indicate the close connection. -- Nasir Khan Saikat (talk) 10:09, 15 September 2021 (UTC)

 * Keep The article meets the General notability guidelines. All 3 issues mentioned by the IP user/ edit is wrong. Written like an ad is too broad and too generic statement about articles. If an article have issues on writing style and sources, it can be added to that specific section, and start a discussion on the talk page. Even writing style can be improved by the one who is adding the tag. I saw that the article was started and updated mostly by one single user and that does not indicate the close connection issue. So the article should not be deleted. --Nasir Khan Saikat (talk) 06:36, 17 September 2021 (UTC)

 * Keep I think this article is fine and the person concern is a notable person. A novelist, literary award winner, poet etc. After reading the article I tried to know more about him and find few more information to add which I will shortly. The information in the article are well sited and referred properly. If we think there are some issues with the writing we can change it in appropriate way.

 * Keep This article actually satisfy the rules and guideline which provided by the Wikipedia. I don't think this article is highly promotional because all the references are true and the article is referred every information to properly. Mashrur Arefin is a famous poet, writer. I have read the article and I found a writing error that can be corrected by editing but there is nothing issue I haven't been for deletion. I was supposed to say that the article should not be deleted and can do some major changes in writing style.

 * Comment. Two of the above posters are single-purpose accounts, having only edited this discussion page. Where did you come from? Geschichte (talk) 10:55, 18 September 2021 (UTC)


 * Thank you Geschichte for pointing this. I am also little bit confused that none of my previous contribution is shown in my page. Thank god that my user page is re-directed to my Bengali Wikipedia page. If you visit that page, you will hopefully realized that I am with wikipedia for last 15 years. I was also the founding president of wikimedia foundation Bangladesh (2011) and step down from the board early this year because of my inactivities. Thank you.

 * Keep. While there are clearly issues with the article and coi/spa voting at this AFD, it appears the author has won two literary prizes of note; one of which has its own wikipedia page ( BRAC Bank-Samakal Literature Award). As such, the subject appears to meet criteria 4c of WP:NAUTHOR and criteria 1 of WP:ANYBIO. Issues with the article itself can be addressed through editing as WP:AFD is not cleanup.4meter4 (talk) 23:04, 22 September 2021 (UTC)
