[edit] Humayun Kabir Dhali

Humayun Kabir Dhali (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

Unsourced article. Have not been able to verified any of the awards online.[1][2][3][4] or the famous novel[5]. Note: this appears to be an autobiography but that is not ground for deletion. Nominating as fails WP:NOTE. Withdrawing nomination per comment below. Malcolmxl5 23:30, 17 October 2007 (UTC)

• Keep. This entry required extensive research because each name can be spelled two or three different ways and the author has chosen an uncommon spelling of various words, it seems. I finally located this, from a Bangladeshi newspaper in 2007, saying that "Humyun Kabir Dhali" received the "Atish Dipankar" Gold Medal for literature. I found an on-line bookstore that seemed to offer four of his books, all fiction (as "Dali" instead of "Dhali"). I found what looked like other citations for other of his books but the language barrier defeated me. On the balance of probabilities, I think he has written a goodly number of novels and received what seems to be a prestigious award, thus meeting WP:Notable. He's not very forthcoming in his own blog, though. Accounting4Taste 02:25, 18 October 2007 (UTC)
• Keep- that explanation isgood enough for me, but this needs to be cleaned up badlyJJJ999 05:27, 18 October 2007 (UTC)

• Withdraw nomination. I thank Accounting4Taste for his work on this. There appears to be a problem with transliteration of the name and titles of books and I withdraw my nomination, which will allow the article to be cleaned up and notability to be more thoroughly established. --Malcolmxl5 21:47, 19 October 2007 (UTC)
• Comment I've added the citation I found, cleaned up the language a little and left it as a stub. Accounting4Taste 22:16, 19 October 2007 (UTC)
