Recreated from previous AfD (Sikder Aminul Haque), but this mentions an award and is better referenced than the previous version. Ged UK 21:09, 20 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. If the Bangla Academy Award could be verified then this would be a no-brainer per WP:ANYBIO, but I have been unable to confirm it. Searching in English is very difficult because each of the elements of the subject's name could have several spelling variants, but I've found some sources that include the subject in lists of prominent poets: [1][2][3][4]. The authors and publishers of those sources consider him to be notable, and our practice is to follow what external sources say. Phil Bridger (talk) 15:00, 22 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so consensus may be reached.

Keep Per Phil Bridger and ANYBIO. He seems to one of the top Bangla poets of the 20th century. This Gbook search shows he did win the Bangla Academy Award in 1994.--Sodabottle (talk) 13:19, 28 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
