Contested deletion

This article should not be speedily deleted for lack of asserted importance because it's an important Benghali poet. --Xx236 (talk) 14:24, 1 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

If so then you can provide some RS establishing notability.Slatersteven (talk) 14:25, 1 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I have.Xx236 (talk) 14:27, 1 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

A peom in an anthology does not establish notability, and I have nominated this page one before for deletion.Slatersteven (talk) 14:29, 1 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Another source lists him along Narmadashankar Dave.Xx236 (talk) 14:30, 1 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

If you mean another sources list him alongside this other poet, this is irrelevant. And did someone recreate this page, as it did not exist yesterday (when I nominated it for deletion)?Slatersteven (talk) 14:33, 1 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Two English language aacdemic books describe him as important. I bet there are plenty in Benghali.Xx236 (talk) 14:35, 1 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

This is why I have removed the speedy delete, but two one sentence mentions are not enough to establish notability. And again I ask, was this page recreated?Slatersteven (talk) 14:37, 1 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Opposing deletion proposal. Rangalal Bandyopadhyay was a notable peronality of Bengali literature. His famous work Padmini Upakhyan was published in 19th century based on Rani Padmini. I have put two encyclopedic references in concerned pages. thank you Pinakpani (talk) 20:44, 2 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
