Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Prabal Kumar Basu

The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this page.

The result was Draftify. This is a bit of a mess. I'm discounting the socked nomination. What we're left with is clear consensus that there's insufficient sourcing for mainspace, but if the author wants to continue to work on it, moving it to draft space seems like a reasonable way forward. But, please read WP:POET to understand what we're looking for. We don't need more references, we need better ones. -- RoySmith (talk) 14:54, 6 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - does not seem to have achieved notable critical acclaim per WP:POET - there are no reviews of his books or writeups about him - no significant coverage in multiple reliable secondary sources per WP:BASIC - Epinoia (talk) 01:01, 19 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
i have reviewed the article thoroughly and cited it with proper references and have added book review. i hope this will fulfill the criteria to publish the article in wikipedia.--Dass sundaram (talk) 02:44, 19 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - the added references still don't confer notability as they are not about Prabal Kumar Basu himself - getting into WP:REFBOMBING territory here - Epinoia (talk) 17:24, 19 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Comment it seems odd that a notable Bengali poet would not have an article on bn.wiki. Are there any Bengali sources? Mccapra (talk) 14:24, 28 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
