The Asian Age (Bangladesh)

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Non-notable newspaper. The cited sources are a brief story about their mobile website being unavailable for a few days, and a mention in a government list of newspaper circulations (where nominal figures for the 3rd and 10th highest circulation differ by under 5%).

The existence of the unrelated The Asian Age, a larger Indian newspaper edited by MJ Akbar, complicates searches. Ones of the usual Google types, EBSCO, JSTOR, and ProQuest, including searches of Bengali sources, found a couple threats of legal action against reporters in the normal course of business, a couple recaps of seminars organized by the paper,, and various passing mentions.

As illuminating is where The Asian Age is not mentioned: the Encyclopedia of International Media and Communications, the ABYZ Bangladesh Newspapers and News Media Guide, Willings Press Guide, or Info as Aid's Bangladesh: Media and Telecoms Landscape Guide. Does not meet WP:NMEDIA. Worldbruce (talk) 14:51, 5 May 2019 (UTC)
