Nova (Bangladeshi band)

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Fails WP:BAND. More sources may exist in Bengali, but search of নোভা ব্যান্ড ("Nova band") seems to produce few significant results. Have linked Bengali WP article in interlanguage links, but it too is unsourced. AdventurousSquirrel (talk) 01:19, 4 November 2013 (UTC)

 * Keep: The band has produced 7 studio albums under the banner of major record labels. All of the sources mention them as a popular band of Bangladesh. Also, I don't know why the first reference has been tagged as "not in citation given", the source clearly mentions the band and says that they have performed in a music show "Ghore Ghore Utshob" aired in RTV. -- Zayeem  (talk) 14:51, 9 November 2013 (UTC)
 * Well, I admit that my knowledge of the Bengali language is effectively null - so I may very well likely be missing something - but in my reading of the computer translation of that source, I was unable to find reference to anything contained in the lede paragraph, preceding that citation. i.e., nothing about its formation "in 1986 in Dhaka." No mention of their having been in "their peak in the '90s", nor about being "one of the most popular bands of that time in Bangladesh."  It did not mention the fact that "The band went into a hiatus in the 2000s but made a comeback with the album Return of the Nova released in 2010."  Conversely, the lede of this WP article does not cover the thing that you mention it does say, that they "performed in a music show "Ghore Ghore Utshob" aired in RTV."  Are there other reliable sources which could serve as references for the other facts?  I was unable to find them when I looked.  But again, I have difficulty in searching through the Bengali-language sources.  AdventurousSquirrel (talk) 07:07, 24 November 2013 (UTC)
