Absolutely no sourcing to this problematic stub. Twice draftified, the Santdas Kathiyababa article (his name as a monk) was duly deleted and this one needs to follow suit. Fails WP:GNG.

 * Comment I can see lots of refs to him in primary sources (court documents) but only one snippet of secondary. Given his age we would be looking for colonial period written records, and as the first Bengali attorney general of the Calcutta High Court he is pretty certainly notable.

 * Keep. If we can confirm that he held the post, a high court judge qualifies per WP:POLITICIAN. -- Necrothesp (talk) 12:06, 8 June 2022 (UTC)
 *  Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.


 * Delete. I agree that he'd probably be notable if he were a high court judge, but despite an awful lot of searching, I simply can't find any sources that say that. He does appear to have been a lawyer in the Calcutta High Court, but there's no indication that he was ever appointed to the judiciary. This is ultimately a WP:V issue, so I think deletion is our only option. Draftification might be on the table in some circumstances, but despite a year's worth of attempts to create an article for Chowdhury at a number of different titles (see User talk:Srabanta Deb; Articles for deletion/Santadas Kathiababa (2nd nomination); etc.), no sources have been forthcoming, so I don't think yet another draftification would be productive.

 * Delete per : While he was a general attorney who appeared before the High Court, I doubt he was Attorney General to the High Court - see Advocate-General of Bengal. The Justice Chowdhury who served on the High Court from 1912 to 1920 was Sir Ashutosh Chaudhuri. ~Hydronium~Hydroxide~(Talk)~ 12:20, 15 June 2022 (UTC)
