Religious leader whose notability is not established by article or references. This article is obviously incomplete, with empty sections. It was also evidently written to praise its subject rather than describe him neutrally. Moving the incomplete article into draft space would be appropriate, except that the originator has also created a draft, either out of impatience, or in order to game the system.

This article was tagged for deletion as an unsourced BLP once, and sources were added, but do not make the article ready for mainspace.

The draft is a copy of the third reference, and has been tagged for deletion as copyvio.

A very brief check of the references shows that they do not provide independent significant coverage.

Reference	Comments	Independent	Significant
1	In Bengali. Machine translation says that subject preached.	?	No. Passing mention.
2	Appears to be local newspaper.	No. Editoral reportage praising the subject at length.
3	Own web site. Copied by draft.	No
4	Appears to be local newspaper.	Yes?	No. Could not find mention of subject.

Delete per nom. There is nothing asserted to be special about this figure as compared to the field of religious figures. BD2412 T 03:37, 20 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
