Line 75:
*: Plus, I can't replicate much of anything in the article on aladin's supposed father, [[Abul Fateh]]. Certainly nothing that proves that he ''is'' aladin's father, or that various details given in the [[Abul Fateh]] article are true. There are details that could have only been supplied by a fabulist -- or possibly a family member who edits from sockpuppet accounts, and may be prone to exaggeration.
*: I was originally trusting, but the more research I do, the more alarm bells go off. I know that it's upsetting for people to admit that they've been conned, but aladin seems like a con. A con who edits vanity articles from sockpuppet accounts. Possibly a notable con, but con nonetheless. I don't think it makes any sense to trust a conman just because he's South Asian, or argue that it's prejudice to distrust him. We're all human, and human includes grandiosity.

:* Comment: The fact that you do not ''believe'' the article is one thing. That is your right. However, statements like: ''The only thing that the writer of that article knew for certain was that aladin was a youth-worker'' are completely out of line without factual evidence to back up the claim. Have you spoken to the reporter who wrote the story? Have you contacted the Times? If you had done any research, you would know that the Aladin feature was written by a well known investigative reporter in the UK. Please have the decency not to slander Ms. Brinkworth or Times journalism without real evidence. -- [[User:JJay|JJay]] 19:45, 4 January 2006 (UTC)
**Thanks Zora, for your search into the matter. I just want to comment on the [[Abul Fateh]] article, that his role in [[Bangladesh Liberation War]] is [http://www.newagebd.com/2005/feb/18/feb18/xtra_also3.html verifiable] and he [http://www.mofa.gov.bd/foreign_secretary.htm was] the first foreign secretary of Bangladesh. Other than that, I can't find references for anything else. It may be possible that someone who personally know him added the details, including his relation with [[aladin]]. Thanks. --[[User:Ragib|Ragib]] 06:44, 4 January 2006 (UTC)
* '''Keep'''. Verifiable enough and notable enough for me. [[User:Dbiv|David]] | [[User talk:Dbiv|Talk]] 14:30, 4 January 2006 (UTC)
