Completely unsourced abandoned article and no source to support notability. Qed237 (talk) 11:22, 2 February 2016 (UTC)
- Withdrawn by nominator – After reading the comments and seeing that reliable sources has been added to the article, I withdraw my nomination as it now seems to pass WP:GNG. Qed237 (talk) 14:49, 8 February 2016 (UTC)

- Keep. Neither "unsourced" nor "abandoned" are reasons for deletion. It certainly looks like sources exist, and if the festival existed, it would surely be notable. St Anselm ( talk) 18:54, 2 February 2016 (UTC)

- Did you even do a search? History, Religion and Culture of India calls it " the most widely observed cultural festival in West Bengal". There are, in fact, hundreds of GBooks hits. It certainly seems like WP:BEFORE has not been followed here. St Anselm ( talk) 20:54, 2 February 2016 (UTC)
- Keep A notable festival in West Bengal and Bangladesh. Added a few references.-- Dwaipayan ( talk) 01:41, 4 February 2016 (UTC)
- Keep Unnecessary nomination as per the article's importance is concerned. — 14.96.155.218 ( talk)
- Keep Notable enough to have an article. 117.221.122.229 ( talk) 12:02, 8 February 2016 (UTC)
- Keep Very notable cultural festival. The nominator is mad or what? 219.64.178.76 ( talk)
- Comment – The article creator SWASTIK 25 has been blocked as a sockmaster and has edited by proxy, so I would not be suprised if the IP's above belong to him as they have edited only this AfD or the same articles as SWASTIK 25. Qed237 (talk) 14:38, 8 February 2016 (UTC)
- Keep – As nominator, I have now seen sources been added and it looks notable, so it can be kept and my nomination is withdrawn. Qed237 (talk) 14:50, 8 February 2016 (UTC)
