The result was keep. The sources provided by those arguing to keep are not terribly convincing, but the OP has been indeffed as a sock, and the only other "delete" !voter had provided no substantive argument. Vanamonde (Talk) 18:10, 24 August 2019 (UTC)

 * Delete. Not notable enough. Lefcentreright (talk) 15:54, 16 August 2019 (UTC)
 * Keep, considering he seems to have been in the forefront of defending media freedom (e.g. ), having had both his legs broken in the process I'd say there were enough English language online sources to support an article. Sionk (talk) 20:41, 16 August 2019 (UTC)
 * Comment first link you gave "Nurul Kabir to continue his defence on Dec 20" it doesn’t prove his notability. second link, Asia Media forum award is non-notable award,there have thousand of this type o awards. If it notable award then there have many people who gets this type of award then everyone should inculde in wikipedia. -Rasi56 (talk) 05:48, 17 August 2019 (UTC)
 * I think you misunderstand notability. A simple Google search will come up with plentyh of coverage about his court appearances. The Asaia Media Forum award was presnted by Kabir to the winner, I gave this as an example because it gives a section of biographical info about Kabir (and the reasons he was respected enough to be presenting).

 * court case doesn’t prove his notability, there have many cases by journalists and writters, you can found in internet. and asia media forum is non notable forum. We need strong independent evidence of his notability. Rasi56 (talk) 10:39, 17 August 2019 (UTC)
 * This is getting tedious. We clearly disagree so should wait for input from others. Whether or not you think Asia Media Forum is non-notable, the lengthy news article is in Sri Lanka's The Sunday Leader, so is international news coverage. Sionk (talk) 10:48, 17 August 2019 (UTC)
 * Yes for sure wait for others. But nothing with the newspaper. Newspaper is verified but asia media forum isn’t, I just mention that above. Rasi56 (talk) 11:22, 17 August 2019 (UTC)

 * Keep. I have just updated the references. As the editor of a major English language national daily, Nurul Kabir has been really in the forefront of defending media freedom in Bangladesh despite the persecution he faced both legally and physically while others usually succumb to pressure as we saw during the rule of the military-backed Caretaker Government from January 2007 to December 2008. He is notable enough not only as an editor but also as a writer since he authored several books. The Red Moulana by him is the only comprehensive and authoritative biography of Abdul Hamid Khan Bhashani in the English language. - S M Maniruzzaman (talk) 14:27, 19 August 2019 (UTC)
