I don't find the article notable enough to be kept on Wikipedia. The person has no other notable contribution on the professional field except only that, he designed the Olympic coin. Here is a list of Olympic coin designers, none of the else is on Wikipedia. And the person is a renowned person neither in United Kingdom, nor in Bangladesh. -- Rossi101 ( talk) 16:46, 14 October 2014 (UTC)Rossi101 reply

  • Keep Sources independent, reliable & article meets GNG. 178.17.66.1 ( talk) 12:58, 15 October 2014 (UTC) reply
  • Keep - although he's really only famous for one thing (designing a coin), he's won a Bangladeshi-British community award for it, and the coverage of him is significant enough to pass notability. I'd create the articles on the other winners, but I'm busy off-wiki. Bearian ( talk) 19:06, 20 October 2014 (UTC) reply
  • Ambivalent, though happy to keep if properly edited and reduced CV content. Warren ( talk) 19:26, 20 October 2014 (UTC) reply
  • Keep - The article is well sourced and subject is notable. Specific problems with the article should be addressed through editing not deletion. Tanbircdq ( talk) 20:00, 20 October 2014 (UTC) reply
  • Keep, there are plenty of sources for this individual. AcidSnow ( talk) 20:32, 20 October 2014 (UTC) reply
  • Keep, I don't really understand why the person who created the article and has edited it for several years, is suddenly nominating the article for deletion. Regardless of that, though Miah is only notable for creating one thing, the thing (coin) has been widely reported in mainstream media, including media in Bangladesh (where he seems to be viewed with great pride). Meets WP:GNG and WP:Creative. Sionk ( talk) 22:09, 20 October 2014 (UTC) reply
  • Keep, there seem to be plenty of sources to establish notability. Skyerise ( talk) 22:17, 20 October 2014 (UTC) reply
  • Delete - per nom. There may be plenty of sources, they all refer to the one same thing he is known for. Thus seems to fail WP:ONEEVENT – a fact that even a majority of "keep" voters seem to acknowledge; the numerical count of sources documenting this one event is not relevant. --  Ohc  ¡digame! 01:56, 21 October 2014 (UTC) reply
  • Keep, numerous references and awards, article clearly notable. 178.17.70.1 ( talk) 12:53, 21 October 2014 (UTC) reply
