Deleted sole footnote reference which was dead link. Two non text references mention minor and non significant award. Article is likely an advertisement and subject fails to meet notability standards as per WP:CREATIVE and WP:ANYBIO. Ad Orientem (talk) 03:26, 3 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep - passes WP:ANYBIO, ICE Today-Aqua Paints is a major award for Bangladeshi architects. --Zayeem ^(talk) 16:19, 3 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

• Respectfully Disagree A quick search showed no evidence that ICE Today-Aqua Paints is a "major award" as per WP:ANYBIO. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ad Orientem (talk • contribs) 17:36, 3 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

• Are you sure? The award is given by the Commerce Minister of Bangladesh, also the fact that major dailies like The Daily Star ([1]), Financial Express ([2]) covering the award function bears ample evidence of notability of the award. --Zayeem ^(talk) 19:28, 3 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

• Hmmm I will look at this again and reconsider my AfD nom. -Ad Orientem (talk) 19:33, 3 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep, Rajon Das is the most notable architect of the Sylhet region. The architect of most notable architectural conservation at this region and the head of one of the only two architectural schools here. Rossi101 (talk) 17:38, 3 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

• Response If you can produce reputable and non trivial sources, as per notability criteria, to that effect I will withdraw my AfD nom. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ad Orientem (talk • contribs) 17:56, 3 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

• Reference Go to the link and read the para 6.4 of research paper by the faculty members of SUST. --Rossi101 (talk) 16:45, 7 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

• Comment. Hrm, he might be notable - but that is meaningless unless we can find sources, even print ones not available online, to confirm. UltraExactZZ ^Said ~ Did 12:32, 4 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
• weak Keep Giving some weight to his professorship. DGG ( talk ) 18:06, 5 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep I fail to see the issue.Pug6666 21:46, 6 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep Its not much, but the presumption of notability has been backed up with these minor cites; the immediate citation of sources is not a requirement at this point as nothing contentious is unsourced. ChrisGualtieri (talk) 05:08, 8 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
