Subject fails WP:GNG and WP:FILMMAKER. The page paints him as being behind the visual effects of award winning films. However, closer examination shows he is one of many of the people working for the visual effects teams and does not appear to have a significant role in any. While the films he has worked on have won awards for visual effects, the awards were not to him which tells me he is not one of the significant people on the team. There are student awards listed but do not believe winning student awards would count for notability. He is also not listed on any of the Wikipedia pages for the movies he has worked for. An analysis of the sources show many falling under WP:NEWSORGINDIA. CNMall41 (talk) 21:38, 17 September 2023 (UTC)

Source assessment --CNMall41 (talk) 21:40, 17 September 2023 (UTC)


 * Samakal.com via Google Translate, Byline is “online desk” which indicates it is a press release or sponsored per NEWSORGINDIA. It also only contains a single sentence saying he will be a guest in an episode for a show.
 * Kalerkantho.com via Google Translate, Short bio, not significant.
 * Prothomalo, 404 error, nothing seen at link so cannot evaluate.
 * The Business Standard, contains a lot of information but reads more like a press release, with most of the article containing quotes like an interview with lack of independent research.
 * Banglanews 24 via Google Translate, mentions that he worked in the “visual effects team” for the movie but doesn’t indicate his role as significant. In fact, I found hundreds of people who were on the visual effects team. Even the Wikipedia page for --CNMall41 (talk) 21:40, 17 September 2023 (UTC)Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 doesn’t mention all of the people involved except for the companies behind it.
 * Prothomalo, believe this is the English version of the Prothomalo version above which is not accessible. This is an article written by Wahib Ibn Reza so not independent.
 * The Daily Star, byline is “Star Correspondent” while others have actual names of the writers which puts this under NEWSORGINDIA. It does list his credits but again, he is not listed in the credits of these movies (at least not what I see on Wikipedia).
 * Prothomal via Google Translate, byline is “entertainment reporter” so falls under NEWSORGINDIA.
 * The Daily Star, also fails NEWSORGINDIA with a byline of “Star Online Reporter.” This reference also says his “team” was nominated for an Academy Award but not specifically for him or his role.
 * Somoynews.tv via Google Translate, written by “entertainment desk” which signals this is a press release or other churnalism.
 * Directors.ca, bio/directory listing.
 * Banglatribune.com via Google Translate, another “entertainment desk” article which is a press release announcing a work he produced.
 * Dhaka Tribune, another press release/churnalism written by “showtime desk.”
 * Rokomari.com via Google Translate, author profile.
 * Daily Observer, written by “culture desk” and a simply announcement or press release


 * Delete, not seeing significant coverage of the subject. Horse Eye&#39;s Back (talk) 22:29, 17 September 2023 (UTC)
 * Delete. Lacks WP:SIGCOV about him and his work in WP:RS to pass WP:GNG, and the "awards" section does not list any awards that would be prominent enough to confer an "inherent" notability freebie in the absence of GNG-worthy coverage in reliable sources. That goes to top national film awards like the Oscars, the BAFTAS, the Canadian Screen Awards, the Césars and a narrow tier of internationally prominent elite film festivals on the order of Berlin, Cannes, Venice, TIFF or Sundance, not to small-fry film festivals like Sari, Edmond or Golden Egg.

 * Delete per nom fails WP:GNG and WP:FILMMAKER. Pharaoh of the Wizards (talk) 14:59, 23 September 2023 (UTC)
