Zamindars of Mahipur

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

A non-notable aristocracy; our article is a glorified genealogical register. No reliable sources, excluding the Banglapedia entry, exist that cover "Mahipur Zamindars" or "Mahipur Estate" or "মহীপুর জমিদারি" or "মহিপুর জমিদারি" or "মহিপুর জমিদার" or "মহিপুরের জমিদার" in any significant detail.

 * Comment My philosophy is that if another reputable encyclopedia, such as Banglapedia: the National Encyclopedia of Bangladesh, has an article on a topic, then Wikipedia presumably should have one too. So for me, the question is whether this article is so problematic that WP:TNT is called for. I have concerns about whether the cited sources actually support the content. Several sources are so obscure, or described so incompletely, that I cannot obtain them for verification., you cited these, can you supply copies of:
 * Sakkhatkar (2011)

 * Banglapedia ought not be treated as a RS; no sources, no author-bios etc. I have spotted errors dime a dozen in their entries. TrangaBellam (talk) 14:00, 21 April 2022 (UTC)
 * Wikipedia does not require that sources contain author bios in order to be reliable. The Muhammad Moniruzzaman in question seems to be the one who earned his PhD in 1996 from the University of Rajshahi for his thesis on Zamindars in Rangpur, and has since written several books on the history of districts in the Rangpur Division. They are available only in print, but are a logical place to look for more information on this topic. --Worldbruce (talk) 03:33, 25 April 2022 (UTC)
