Kabir Ahamed

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

There are two references in this article and both do not mention Kabir Ahamed. A google search with this name does not turn up any general in the Bangladesh Army. This leads to two scenarios, either the person does not exist or does not meet WP:GNG. Per Wikipedia rules any armed force officer of rank equal to or higher than Lt General automatically meets WP:GNG but I have failed to find any news media what so ever. Maybe there exists media in Bengali which I might have missed out but lack of any English media coverage is surprising. Adamgerber80 (talk) 05:52, 23 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. I see no claim to notability here. Deb (talk) 08:51, 23 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

"Brigadier General" is a cast-iron claim to notability. The issue here is whether that claim can be substantiated. 86.17.222.157 (talk) 20:29, 26 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Delete The two refs do not mention the subject. Googling "Kabir Ahamed Brigadier" gets no hits.--Georgia Army Vet Contribs Talk 16:35, 23 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
~~Speedy Delete~~ Delete. Unsourced (the two refs do not mention the subject, I haven't been able to find English language refs) BLP. Note that if sources exists showing him as a brigadier he would be assumed notable per WP:SOLDIER - however this is not presently the case.Icewhiz (talk) 09:24, 24 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

By what criterion does this qualify for speedy delete? 86.17.222.157 (talk) 20:29, 26 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

BLP with no sources (the two refs do not mention him).Icewhiz (talk) 04:32, 27 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

That is not a speedy deletion criterion. 86.17.222.157 (talk) 09:30, 27 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

See WP:BLPPROD - which this article falls under at the moment.Icewhiz (talk) 10:03, 27 December 2017 (UTC) But yes - I was wrong to say Speedy when this is a BLPPROD situation.Icewhiz (talk) 10:05, 27 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
