[edit] M A Hannan

I assume by "read" this article means "read aloud", but that still doesn't establish notability. RickK 07:48, Mar 28, 2005 (UTC)

• Delete, notability not established. Megan1967 08:13, 28 Mar 2005 (UTC)
• Delete. Unintelligible. Keep and clean up. It's somewhat more intelligible now. Should the article title be renamed to "M. A. Hannan" in accordance with USA usage? I don't know about Great Britain (aside from the fact that they don't put periods after "Mr" and "Mrs"), but definitely in India (and presumably Bangladesh and Pakistan, too) initials are generally written without the periods. --Smithfarm
• Keep - turns out to be notable enough in Bangladesh to have an airport named after him (added to page now). Charles Matthews 20:24, 28 Mar 2005 (UTC)
• Keep notable independence-declaration-reader. Kappa 21:09, 28 Mar 2005 (UTC)

• Merge/redirect, cleanup. For starters, MA Hannan seems to be Abdul Hannan. "M" seems to be standing for "Mufti" Nothing else did I see for "M" (except of Mr. A. Hannan, who may well be another person). He seems to be one of Bangladesh Awami League leaders, but I see nothing more notable about him. So I suggest to merge him there. And BTW the airport seems about to be renamed. If a grounded vote to "keep" requires heavy research, better it be deleted. Mikkalai 01:58, 29 Mar 2005 (UTC)

It seems that VfD is a major driving force in improving articles that start from a chaotic anon blurb. :-) Mikkalai 02:07, 29 Mar 2005 (UTC)

• Which is sad because that's the whole purpose of Wikipedia:Cleanup rather than VfD. Megan1967 09:07, 29 Mar 2005 (UTC)
• Keep and Expand. Reading a declaration of independence leading to a war seems notable enough in its own right and presumably if a national airport is named after him, there is more to be said about him. Capitalistroadster 11:08, 29 Mar 2005 (UTC)
