The Calcutta Quran Petition
AfDs for this article:


 * – ( View AfD View log )

A self published book by author owned publishing company, lacking third party RS coverage and critical reviews. Fails all the criteria of WP:BOOKCRIT. Article largely unsourced or linked to other self published sources. Some refs are discussing the incident, not the book. Tagged for notability issue for a month.

 * Tentative Keep as the book (or the chain of events itself) looks to be notable. There may not be ready references available online as it happened in 1980s India. However, the article contains important information and I cannot think of a reason to delete it. The book seems to be there in quite a few libraries. Although religious conflicts are common in India, it is relatively uncommon in West Bengal compared to other states. This book/event seems to be a contrary example. At the moment, I would prefer to keep the article. Edit: I found a reference. There is also a mention here, but I cannot download the pdf.--DreamLinker (talk) 00:19, 13 February 2021 (UTC)
