Sylhet Protidin

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

No references, not many Google hits, the only link in the article is to the paper's website which expired a while ago. Doesn't seem very notable to be, but I could be wrong ZS 06:32, 3 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete I certainly can't find anything notable. Many of the Google hits lead to dead links as well  JRA _ Westy Qld2  Talk 13:59, 3 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Comment: This is difficult because there may be reliable Bengali sources, which would not be obvious to many editors here. I will try posting on WT:WikiProject Bengal. Jezhotwells (talk) 14:05, 3 August 2009 (UTC)


 * Keep: The newspaper has definitely existed, it appears that it may have been closed down by the government, hence the expired domain. I have added 2 references. Jezhotwells (talk) 14:29, 3 August 2009 (UTC)

 * Keep, given the sources added by Jezhotwells. Can't imagine a major newspaper in today's world not being notable: aside from web sources, major newspapers get plenty of coverage in print.  Nyttend (talk) 14:50, 16 August 2009 (UTC)
