[edit] Mukto mona

Delete This article is about a simple Yahoo! forum[1] for Bangladeshis online. There are thousands of similar forums and information regarding these forums is not appropriate to be in an encyclopedia. There is no purpose of the existence of this article in wikipedia other than giving some publicities to this website.Thinker2006 14:13, 24 February 2006 (UTC)

• Delete as non-notable, advertising, forumcruft. --Kinu ^t/_c 18:10, 24 February 2006 (UTC)
• Comment. Mukto mona seems to a Bangladesh based rationalist group. See http://www.mukto-mona.com/new_site/mukto-mona/index.htm Tintin (talk) 23:23, 24 February 2006 (UTC)

Mukto-mona just exists online. It is a Bangladesh based Yahoo group. Even the article claims that it is an "online congregation" of the rationalists. This article is an advertisement of a non-notable website. Thinker2006 23:34, 24 February 2006 (UTC)

• Comment: Generally I'm against keeping forums/website pages in Wikipedia. However, contrary to the nominator's claim regarding "yahoo only", there does exist a website for Mukto-Mona, which seems to be quite rich in content, articles etc. There is precedence of other "online only" group articles in Wikipedia. Thanks. --Ragib 03:11, 25 February 2006 (UTC)

They do have a website, where they basically archive the articles being posted in the group. Therefore, the website is based on the Yahoo! group. Even for Bangladeshi standards, this website is a very non-notable site. There are other similar Bangladeshi websites, which are much more popular. Thinker2006 04:32, 25 February 2006 (UTC)
