Ekram Ahmed Lelin[edit]

Non-notable poet. Article makes some tall claims (such as the subject being more popular than several famous novelists), without any references backing up the claim. As someone quite familiar with Bangladeshi literature and media, I have never heard of the subject as a notable writer. Article fails WP:N, WP:V. Ragib (talk) 18:47, 18 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Note: I initially prod'd the page. But the single purpose account that created the page removed the prod notice without showing any justification. Hence, I am bringing it to AFD. --Ragib (talk) 18:55, 18 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: Exactly Zero Google hits for "Ekram Ahmed Lenin". I also tried Bengali language sources for the subject's name in Bengali, but even there, got Zero hits for "একরাম আহমেদ লেনিন". --Ragib (talk) 00:04, 24 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Speedy Delete. Who is this joke? Unless Wikipedia has decided to make entries for all of our highschool friends with an ambition to be a writer and access to a small time printer to get a couple of books printed and circulated among friends, this is a total joke. If WP:N and WP:V haven't changed while I blinked – Delete, and Delete Again. Aditya^{(talk • contribs)} 09:22, 24 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
