Not notable autobiography. Googling Sabir Abdus Samee gives 519 hits, I get more than that. Carbonrodney (talk) 06:30, 17 July 2008 (UTC)

The reason I gave this articles because in most cases it is difficult for Bangladeshi authors to come out with appropriate recognition. The is a fault of the Bangladeshi media and print industry. I think if Wikipedia helps to enter these authors they might get the recognation they are entitled to get. As far I know Sabir Abdus Samee is one of the few Bangladeshi poets who write in English. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Greenberet08 (talk • contribs) 06:42, 17 July 2008 (UTC)

:Greenberet, that is a noble cause and as far as I know he could be a great writer who deserves a lot of attention. However, Wikipedia is not the place to do your advertising. We document already famous people, not people who could be famous with Wikipedias help. --Carbonrodney (talk) 07:34, 17 July 2008 (UTC)

  • Delete no signs of notability yet, who knows what the future may bring. Greenberet has created a few other articles that may merit some attention. --Crusio (talk) 09:55, 18 July 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete. The article does not provide any examples of coverage of his writings the third-party reliable sources and I could not find any after a bit of googling either. (Also, nothing in worldcat that I could find). Does not pass WP:BIO and does not pass WP:PROF. Nsk92 (talk) 11:52, 18 July 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete no listings for the books in WorldCat. That doesn't cover India,but if the works are well known there, it would be necessary to have references to show it. DGG (talk) 15:34, 19 July 2008 (UTC)
