Non-notable poet. The "Award" supposedly won by the subject is itself a non-notable award, and the magazine edited by the subject is not notable either. Only about 441 google hits (disregarding facebook fan pages), most of which actually refer to other persons. The only mention to the subject in Bangladeshi media was found in a single sentence of this article, where his name is mentioned among a large number of other authors whose books were published on that day.


 * As for the "award", the award is specifically for people who have published poems in that magazine (from Shabdaguchha's website: "Nominate up to three poets published in Shabdaguchha from January 2007 to January 2009.") So, the notability of the award is itself questionable. -- Ragib (talk) 20:53, 5 April 2010 (UTC)

 * Delete unless reliable sources can be provided; even the winning of "awards" needs RSs to back it up. Ironholds (talk) 14:03, 8 April 2010 (UTC)
 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so consensus may be reached.


 * Strong Delete - An article about a non-notable subject, perhaps created for the purpose of self-promotion by an individual who is very close to him. The award that has been used for establishing subject's notability itself is non-notable provided by a non-notable body. The picture used in this article is also disputed and should be tagged for deletion. Cheers. -- Niaz  (Talk •  Contribs)  12:50, 15 April 2010 (UTC)
