Tangail Poura Uddan

 * – ( View AfD View log | edits since nomination)

Run-of-the-mill city park without significant coverage in multiple, reliable, secondary sources, so fails WP:GNG. The single cited source makes only passing mention of it. Searches in English and Bengali found other passing mentions of one event or another being held in the park, but only one source that is any deeper, a verbose article that boils down to some people protested when four 50-year-old trees were cut down to widen an access road. If that's all anyone has written about the park, it would be better to cover it in the article about the municipality, Tangail.

Reluctant to redirect there because it isn't clear that Tangail Poura Uddan is even a common English-language name for the park. The cited source calls it Shaheed Smrity Poura Uddan, other sources call it Tangail Municipal Park. Worldbruce (talk) 16:28, 14 December 2022 (UTC) Please add new comments below this notice.

 * Delete. Some reports such as this refer to Shaheed Smriti Pouro Udyan. Google street view shows a stage within a park or open space. Reviews and photos state it's a meeting place, rallies/concerts are held, there is a memorial and busts of seven martyrs of the 1971 War of Independence (can be seen in the background on Google street view, here ) and there are tea shops. I suppose a desciption could be made from this but it's a primary source. I don't believe it rates a standalone article owing to lack of reliable, verified, secondary sources. Newspaper coverage is about the rallies held there not the park itself e.g. . Any material could easily be added to the Tangail article, which already has a Parks section.
