Nayeemul Islam Khan

Does not appear notable based on the sources. I also did a WP:BEFORE and cannot find anything significant. Seems like the claim to notability is being the editor of a newspaper.

 * Keep I agree that his claim of notability is in being an editor, and he is a high-profile one. A google news search turns up abundant news refs for him - a lot of name checks and quotes as well as more in-depth coverage but he is clearly an important national figure.

 * Understood. Are you able to list which ones would be considered towards notability? --CNMall41 (talk) 03:10, 10 April 2023 (UTC)
 * I’d go with 1 and 2, plus the fact that his attempted murder gained significant coverage such as 3. There’s more and I’m still looking. Mccapra (talk) 05:18, 10 April 2023 (UTC)
 * I cannot locate the editorial standards of the first but assuming they have them it would be an acceptable reference. The second is simply him being quoted though. I initially thought the attack would be notable but if you look at the sources, it is simply a mention of an incident with him that is placed in articles about turmoil for journalists in the region. Not specific about him. --CNMall41 (talk) 07:22, 10 April 2023 (UTC)

 * Comment On one hand, there are 250 words about him in the cited book. Shameem Mahmud (one time assistant professor of communication and media studies at the University of Dhaka) credited Khan with "introducing modern journalism to the country" (c. 1990) and later with pioneering "a new genre of newspaper in the market" (c. 2004). Mahmud wrote about the audience Khan targeted, the use of a more urban and colloquial language, the printing of newspapers shorter and lower priced than the established ones, and about what other newspapers then followed the same editorial and business plan. That's much more attention than the average Bangladeshi newspaper editor receives.
 * On the other hand, Wikipedia's article seems to have been written to portray him in a favorable light, with no regard for WP:NPOV, WP:V, or WP:N., the original author, appears closely connected with the subject, judging from the photos they've taken of him over a multi-year period and the troubling amount of unsourced content. Looking at early versions, almost none of it was sourced. Although some of that has been removed, and some citations have been added over the years, the essential slant of the article remains the same. Perhaps Wikipedia should have an article about him, but not this one. --Worldbruce (talk) 07:41, 18 April 2023 (UTC)
