Low Importance

Abdul Matin re organised the language movement when it dimmed. He is also considered as the premier students leader of 1952 language movement. He directly protested against Jinnah's speech, when even talking against him was not appreciated. Anyway after so much influence during the movement would he be still regarded as a low importance article?Tarif from Bangladesh 19:06, 2 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Deceased?

Someone contacted OTRS claiming that Matin is not deceased, however I do note the date of death had a reference. I can't read Bengali to save my life, and the Google translation wasn't very helpful. I do note no news items in Google though, so I'm not sure. Maybe User:Canadian Paul has more information? §FreeRangeFrog^croak 21:55, 6 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I'm really struggling to figure out how I came up with the idea that that link was an obituary for him, because it seems to indicate that he was alive at the time that article was written. Perhaps it was linked in the Bengali Wikipedia and I just made the assumption that it was his obituary. In any case, I would say that, especially if you have an OTRS ticket that claims he is alive, you should stick with that and that his death information should probably be removed from the Bengali Wikipedia as well.

Fair enough, we'll assume he's alive then. Thanks for the response. §FreeRangeFrog^croak 04:03, 12 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
