Subject does not meet criteria for WP:NJOURNALS (journal is included in selective citation indices, indexing services, and bibliographic databases) and lacks independent sources to meet WP:GNG. Reconrabbit 14:55, 21 January 2025 (UTC)

• Comment I note that WP:NJOURNALS states that "It is possible for a journal not to be notable under this guidance but still meet WP:GNG for other reasons", so failing WP:NJOURNALS is not necessarily a reason to delete. Also, WP:NJOURNALS#C2 says that "The comprehensiveness of the coverage varies by field, geography, language", and it may be the case that Bangla journals are not well covered. I found this article [https://dujournal.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/3.-Bibliometric-Analysis-of-Research-Publications-of-the-compressed.pdf] that says that none of the academic journals published by the University of Dhaka are indexed by leading databases. Interestingly, the authors of that article did not have access to data about Dhaka Viswavidyalay Patrika / ঢাকা বিশ্ববিদ্যালয় পত্রিকা during their research. I think that we would need to look at Bangladeshi publications (whether in English or in Bangla) to assess whether this journal might meet WP:GNG. Hopefully someone with such access will participate here. RebeccaGreen (talk) 11:01, 24 January 2025 (UTC)
• :It does not look like this journal published by the University of Dhaka is indexed by any databases, from what [https://miar.ub.edu/issn/3006-3078 MIAR] tells me. It may be the case that this is a candidate to redirect to University of Dhaka rather than deletion, as was the case for the Azerbaijan Journal of Educational Studies, the only member of :Category:Azerbaijani-language journals, which redirects to Ministry of Science and Education (Azerbaijan).

::*Comment: {{u|RebeccaGreen}} you are right that a journal can be notable even if it misses NJournals. However, in that case it has to be shown to meet WP:GNG and I don't see evidence for that either. --Randykitty (talk) 16:38, 25 January 2025 (UTC)

• Striking my previous recommendation to concur with Vinegarymass911 and recommending a merge to University of Dhaka. Reconrabbit 20:42, 28 January 2025 (UTC)
• Merge to University of Dhaka as recommended by Vinegarymass911. Unable to find sources that would justify a stand alone article. --Worldbruce (talk) 02:10, 30 January 2025 (UTC)
• Delete: there is nothing to rescue. AgusTates (talk) 02:06, 4 February 2025 (UTC)

• Merge: It should be merged with the University of Dhaka, no WP:RS available for a standalone article, not even in Bengali language. Barseghian Lilia (talk) 12:13, 4 February 2025 (UTC)
