The Asian Tribune

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

Non notable online newspaper. It says it was founded in 2002 as a printed broadsheet newspaper, then print edition was discontinued in 2011 and relaunched in 2018 but i was unable to verify this. I googled in Bangla and English but found nothing. There is zero third party source about this.

Looks like the page contain information taken from Asian Tribune, a Thai/Sri Lankan/Swedish e-newspaper that used to appear in print (e.g. founded in 2002 ... discontinued in 2011 etc)

It says it was relaunched in 2018 but domain data says it was registered on 2021-11-12 (around same time this article was created). Looks like a sneaky way to promote a non notable online news portal.

 * Delete - after discounting the hits that clearly relate to Asian Tribune, I could find nothing of substance. The domain data presented by the nominator is also quite damning. Appears to fail WP:NWEB, GNG and ORG. Spiderone (Talk to Spider) 23:23, 13 August 2022 (UTC)
 *  Delete  per nomination. Always best wishes with the nominator :) -- Noman ☆ (Talk) 14:29, 15 August 2022 (UTC)
