NN relation of several notable people. The article has only ever cited one source, a magazine with the article title, author, and page number missing. Searches of the usual Google types, De Gruyter, EBSCO, Gale, HighBeam, JSTOR, Project Muse, ProQuest, and Questia, by Bengali script and two transliterations of his name, found only one other reliable source that is more than an author or translator credit: a brief obituary that doesn't mention anything he accomplished. 

WP:BASIC requires multiple sources so that a neutral article can be written that doesn't simply repeat one person's point of view. Wikipedia doesn't have articles on authors, or translators, just because their names are on books. Enough people have to have written about the person for a full and balanced biographical article to be constructed. If the subject were notable, then he would have been written about, in depth, independently, in multiple sources. Worldbruce (talk) 18:51, 19 September 2017 (UTC)
