Accolades appear wonderful, but nothing notable. Only mentions found are business profiles, linkedin in the like. Not meeting GNG, possible PROMO. Oaktree b ( talk) 01:53, 12 March 2023 (UTC) reply

@ Oaktree b, has received significant awards. Some of those orgs don't award non notable people. X ( talk) 05:53, 12 March 2023 (UTC) reply
Only mentions found are business profiles, linkedin in the like. These sources seem to contradict that: Minhaj Chowdhury Started Drinkwell, a Water-Filtration Company That Could Save the World (mic.com), Bangladeshi youth wins Forbes award | The Daily Star, Filters are a lifesaver - Chinadaily, Safe solution | Asia People | China Daily, Drinkwell: Quenching the thirst for clean water | undefined (The Business Standard), A Franchise Business Model for Clean Water | GLG (glginsights.com), Minhaj: We shouldn’t panic, the arsenic issue is solvable | Dhaka Tribune, Minhaj Chowdhury gets Ashoka Fellowship award | The Asian Age, Bangladeshi wins Forbes' 'Under 30 Impact Challenge' | Dhaka Tribune, Bangladeshi wins Forbes’ Under 30 Impact Challenge | Print Version (daily-sun.com), Bangladeshi youth wins Forbes’ ‘Under 30 Impact Challenge’ |(thedailystar.net).
Even if we discard all the other sources, such as from UNICEF, or Ashoka or Forbes, etc, IMO and understanding of WP:GNG, this person definitely meets it. Thanks. X ( talk) 06:07, 12 March 2023 (UTC) reply
  • Delete - Was previously asked by submitter to review this at AfC but declined for various reasons. Now I went through the references listed above and unfortunately there is not significant coverage to support notability. The person seems to be listed as Forbes 30 Under 30 which is great but does not grant inherent notability and the majority of the references seem to be snippets about the honor. Here are comments on some of the references. -- CNMall41 ( talk) 08:05, 15 March 2023 (UTC) reply
Mic is not reliable as it relies on branded content.
The Daily Star seems reliable but looks more like a routine announcement of the award instead of something in-depth about the individual.
Per WP:Perennial_sources , " China Daily may be used, cautiously and with good editorial judgment" which tells me it is not to be relied on for notability. This is basically a source that can be used to support content if no other source is available, and then only with "good editorial judgement" as stated.
This China Daily source is deceptive to list above as it is the same article as the previous, just in a different version of the publication.
TBS News reference is focused on the company. It does talk about the subject's founding of the company but the article's in-depth focus is not on the founder, but the company.
The Daily Star which is actually similar to the other Daily Star piece as it was printed one day apart.
