As a number of sources show the presence of this poet and his contributions both to Bengali poetry and world poetry, I think this article will help the world readers to know about the modern poetry of the world. Other editors may come to enrich this article more. User: Shish Mohammad Jakaria ( talk) 06:27, 31 July 2021 (UTC)

As far as I have studied the modern Bengali poetry of the recent times, the poet discussed in this article is one of the most important ones. I have tried my best to provide references in favor of my article. This poet is well-known, not only to the Bengali readers but also to the world-readers, as he is one of the Top 500 Poets of the World according to the survey of Poemhunter.com. Therefore, I think that this article related to this great poet should not be considered for deletion, rather it should be protected for the interest of the world-readers and honorable editors may come to enrich this article. As a new editor, my article may have some shortcomings because of my lack of knowledge about setting up an article in wikipedia. I may be advised more regarding how to enrich this article.

- I think you should read WP:RS. Poemhunter.com isn't WP:RS, it is user generated, anyone can create account and post, vote there. "This poet is well-known, not only to the Bengali readers but also to the world-readers" citation needed. The poet's article ( bn:সায়ীদ_আবুবকর) on bnwiki was deleted twice.-- আফতাবুজ্জামান ( talk) 18:34, 31 July 2021 (UTC)
- Delete I don't understand why the article is not deleted already, why it's relisted. The consensus is clear, the article creator is the only person who keeps cheating and flooding this discussion with "keep" votes. The sources in the article do not establish notability. The first source is a poem written by the subject of the article, which is followed by 19 external links to an online bookstore rokomari.com with the poet's books (this basically constitutes mass-spamming), the same with the Amazon link. Then there are several links to dailynayadiganta.com, kaliokalam.com, chinnofoundation.org and dinkal.in which just post the poet's poems. There are just a couple of sources that cover the subject of the article, but they are either passing mentions ( [1]) or a source like this one which does not cover him in great detail, the article is basically anonymous and the website itself does not look like a reliable source. The only source that looks semi-decent is timenewsbd.net, but even the article itself looks anonymous (or reprinting a press release) and the website, like many others, looks like a one-man show. There are also many links to articles written or translated by the poet himself at dailynayadiganta.com, dailyinqilab.com and onnoekdiganta.com. And so on. The mass-spamming nature of the external links in this article is absolutely ridiculous and should by itself be a reason for deleting the article. I also believe the article creator should be blocked from editing for persistent disruptive editing, cheating, spamming and WP:CIR issues.— J. M. ( talk) 19:50, 31 July 2021 (UTC)

Attention to all the honorable editors and users of Wikipedia: My article "Sayeed Abubakar (Poet)" may be deleted or not, it does not matter. If it is deleted according to the Wikipedia policy, I have no complaint. I think that for lack of my competence I have failed to submit my article properly. I have worked hard for many days on this article. So, I will feel shocked, no doubt. But already I have felt extremely shocked at the behavior of a user named J.M. I want to draw your attention to what he has already done to me. First, he has used several words such as "Cheat" and "cheating" about me on my talk page. On 31 July 2021 at 08:44, he wrote, "Please do not try to cheat" and on the same date at 18:55 he again wrote, "Stop cheating" and later he threatened me saying, "you will be blocked from editing". My question is, is such a behavior expected from a user? Is it not a misconduct? I will request you all to observe the page which way he has marked my discussion. I think, he has done it for some malice against me. So I propose that this user named J.M. should be immediately blocked from Wikipedia. If not, new users like me may lose any interest in this world famous website. Actually, I am a very new user and still mere a student who is eager to learn more and more but don't like to be abused as nobody likes it at all. A gentleman is recognized by his language, by nothing else. Sincerely yours, User: Shish Mohammad Jakaria ( talk)
- Adding four "keep" votes to this discussion definitely constitutes cheating: one, two, three, four. The first three attempts could perhaps be attributed to inexperience, but the user kept doing it despite being warned about it, so there is no excuse.— J. M. ( talk) 08:22, 1 August 2021 (UTC)
