 * Delete: Per nom. Umakant Bhalerao (talk) 17:24, 28 April 2021 (UTC)
 * Keep - notable Bengali poet with coverage in multiple reliable sources including printed newspapers of Bengali language. This is a clear case of systemic bias. AniksDutta (talk) 21:47, 28 April 2021 (UTC)
 * Comment: AniksDutta is the creator of the article. David notMD (talk) 01:15, 29 April 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete: felicitation/felicitated in the Recognition section appears to mean praised or honored; even if referenced, not contributing to notability. David notMD (talk) 09:47, 29 April 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete - Fails WP:GNG. --Whiteguru (talk) 11:09, 30 April 2021 (UTC)
 * Comment - For one thing I can tell that this subject meets WP:GNG. The person has several in-depth coverage including one in the most widely circulated daily newspaper, Anandabazar Patrika. I would request the nom to please include this discussion in Bengali subject related articles. Articles on Bengali poets from the West Bengal, India lacks online publications.

 * Comment Wix sites are not suitable reliable sources. Theroadislong (talk) 15:49, 1 May 2021 (UTC)
 * The reference is from Anandabazar Patrika, the print edition cut-out has been uploaded on Wix site. The Bengali language newspapers have less online presence. Any Bengali language editor can tell you that. This is why I mentioned systemic bias in my earlier comment. AniksDutta (talk) 15:56, 1 May 2021 (UTC)
 * Sources do not need to be online, so there is absolutely no need to use uploaded images of newspapers. Theroadislong (talk) 16:05, 1 May 2021 (UTC)
 * All the cited sources have been provided with publication name, date, reporter name and newspaper name with their RNI no. for verification. You can ignore the links then. AniksDutta (talk) 16:09, 1 May 2021 (UTC)
 * Not that I can see? Theroadislong (talk) 16:13, 1 May 2021 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus. Relisting comment: Courtesy relist for User:AniksDutta.

Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Missvain (talk) 16:49, 7 May 2021 (UTC)
 * Weak delete - Looks like this poet might almost pass GNG, but I don't think he has enough citations and notability to merit his own article quite yet. Atlanticatticus (talk) 21:34, 7 May 2021 (UTC)
 * Comment See Sockpuppet investigations/AniksDutta (although there was no socking on this AfD). You might wish to re-close this. RandomCanadian (talk / contribs)  23:41, 11 May 2021 (UTC)
 * Thank you RandomCanadian! Missvain (talk) 22:01, 12 May 2021 (UTC)
