Can't find evidence this meets our criteria for notability. I've deleted a lot of material that was copyvio from an article by his wife at [1] and it appears that his notability was being asserted as the author of "Give me a Sky to Fly" but a search on that and his name turned up little more than that article (note that his name alone doesn't help as there are so many people with that name). The article is basically unsourced so far as his actual biography goes, and even 'columnist' is just sourced to one newspaper article he wrote. Dougweller ( talk) 14:55, 26 May 2014 (UTC) reply

I see it's been suggested at the creator's talk page User talk:Farhana2012 that he may also be its subject - certainly their edits seem to have promoted the subject. He's never responded. Dougweller ( talk) 14:59, 26 May 2014 (UTC) reply
  • Delete: The "early years" section alone is entirely unsourced. Article focuses on trivial matters and ultimately seems like self-promotion. Johnny338 ( talk) 16:27, 26 May 2014 (UTC) reply

  • Comment Note the journals listed. The "International Journal of English Linguistics" is published by the "Canadian Center of Science and Education;" which is on Beall's list of questionable, scholarly open-access publishers [2] as is the "International Journal of Humanities and Social Science Invention" [3]. Haven't checked the rest yet. Dougweller ( talk) 18:18, 26 May 2014 (UTC) reply
  • Delete per WP:BASIC. Not notable. Binksternet ( talk) 23:42, 26 May 2014 (UTC) reply
  • Delete. Months ago this article's creator was spamming the poetry article with promotional material sourced to falsified or obviously unreliable sources. The tone of and sources for Md. Ziaul Haque don't look to be any better. Psychonaut ( talk) 13:35, 27 May 2014 (UTC) reply
  • Delete – Article appears to have no sources of genuine credibility. EdJohnston ( talk) 16:06, 27 May 2014 (UTC) reply
  • Delete - Does not appear to meet WP:ACADEMIC. -- NeilN talk to me 14:19, 30 May 2014 (UTC) reply
