G M Mostafizul Alam : The Award is not notable, and the coverage, which is mostly about the award, is not enough to pass notability guidelines.  One article mentions an assault on him, but that would not be enough.

Vinegarymass911 ( talk ) 13:35, 22 March 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] Delete - I did a web search and did not find any significant coverage.  The only independent coverage I found were reports on his being assaulted at the NIDW in 2015, [22] and winning an award from Transparency National Bangladesh, also in 2015.  [23] I don't find anything with significant coverage of the person.   Neither being thrown out of an office nor winning a minor journalism award amounts to notability.  I do not read Bengali, so it's possible there is coverage that I am not seeing, but neither the sources I have been able to find nor anything currently in the article indicates that that is the case.

No WP:SIGCOV , fails WP:GNG .  আফতাবুজ্জামান ( talk ) 15:46, 24 March 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] Keep - I found his profile in Earth Journalism Network [24] , Mr. Alam also got notable awards from TIB which is a renowned organization.  [25] — Preceding unsigned comment added by 175.29.181.97 ( talk ) 15:43, 28 March 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] The EJN page is just a database entry and does not provide significant coverage or contribute to notability.  Did he really receive multiple "awards" from TIB?  As far as I can see, he received the award only once, in 2015.  CodeTalker ( talk ) 18:40, 28 March 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] G M Mostafizul Alam won single award for his investigative journalism.  Which is a notable/remarkable award from TIB .  EJN won't entry anyone's name in their database unless they're not their enlisted correspondent or journalist.  175.29.181.97 ( talk ) 09:16, 29 March 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] * Keep - per 175.29.181.97 ( talk ), TIB is a notable organization and their awards are also notable.  NisoBird ( talk ) 18:36, 28 March 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] Keep per 175.29.181.97 and NisoBird .  Mr. Mostafizul Alam is a renowned journalist in Bangladesh.  I found the award and fellowship list database in his portfolio website.  [26] However, the news coverage on him are trustworthy and reliable source.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2400:C600:4524:39E8:1:0:B0D5:6398 ( talk ) 20:07, 28 March 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] Comment — There are seven sources used in the article.  The first two sources are tags from news organizations that list the number of articles he wrote for them, five in total.  The third is a primary source from TIB mentioning the award they gave him.  The fourth and fifth are coverage of that award, received by four journalists, including the subject, in 2015.  The sixth is an interview of G M Mostafizul Alam.  The seventh article is a news report on the assault on G M Mostafizul Alam and his cameraman at a government office.  Not enough to pass notability guidelines.

Talk!  18:57, 29 March 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] * Comment — Only the relevant, trustworthy and the weightful sources are added as references.  All though, the refences are from reliable sources.  So the article should be alive and debate should be dismissed.  NisoBird ( talk ) — Preceding undated comment added 19:39, 29 March 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] If the seven sources currently in the article are the best that can be mustered, then clearly the subject does not meet notability guidelines, since they are all either primary or without significant coverage of the subject, as Vinegarymass911 has shown.  Whether the sources are reliable is not the question.  CodeTalker ( talk ) 20:09, 29 March 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] The award [27] he won, the fellowship he got, the work [28] [29] [30] hie is doing made notable.  175.29.181.97 ( talk ) 09:15, 30 March 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] These are all links to his own web site and therefore do not contribute to notability.  I'm not sure you understand Wikipedia's notability policy; see WP:N .  We need references that are secondary (not based on what he himself has published or said) with significant coverage (not just mentioning his name or the fact that he exists and is a journalist).  CodeTalker ( talk ) 17:22, 30 March 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] Mr. Alam notable by his works and the award he won.  175.29.181.97 ( talk ) 06:11, 31 March 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] Comment - User:NisoBird , the creator and primary contributor to this article, has been blocked as a sockpuppet of User:Johnvola .
