Sharmin murder case

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

The article about a crime has only one source. It may not be notable. Prod was declined because of Death Sentence. Death Sentences are not uncommon in Bangladesh. Vinegarymass911 (talk) 17:05, 2 May 2016 (UTC)
 * Keep Yes, the article has only one source, but it's the BBC which, 23 years after the wife was murdered and 19 years after the husband was hanged, makes a 12-minute audio documentary on the case. Of course, other sources are only begging to be added, like this one:, an article from the Bangladesh Pratidin which ends with the following words: "বাংলাদেশের ইতিহাসে সবচেয়ে আলোচিত খুনের মামলা". Clearly notable. Thanks and regards, Biwom (talk) 07:12, 3 May 2016 (UTC)

 * Keep meets WP:GNG, I have added a couple of English language Cite books to sources. Notability is based on the existence of suitable sources, not on the state of sourcing in an article. Sam Sailor Talk! 19:06, 3 May 2016 (UTC)
