@Anthony Appleyard and Someguy1221: it is a propaganda article with no RS. the links in citations are of non-notable dubious sources, first glance at url will show. translating the contents of links into english is too much for my hand, leave it to admins with bengali fluency

  • Delete, as my previous argument, Strong Delete misrepresentation of source, the idea of it heard from a facebook user thats all and another politician said it to hurt the opposition without any source. So the notion of this idea is imaginative unless it is proven. Ibrahim Husain Meraj (talk) 10:25, 29 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. My observation is, this is a strong case of WP:neologism. The term Banglastan has not reportedly been used by prominent Islamist groups. However, some online and social media material can be found where critics attribute or impose use of this term to Islamists. The article is created and maintained by an editor, who has history of generating controversies and pushing POV and neologism. I wouldn't say this word doesn't exist, but at this point, this term doesn't warrant an entry. --nafSadh did say 22:09, 30 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. Banglastan! definitely a Fighting word-used by some Radical group and Politician for blame game and hate speech. The article here intentionally created, as if it were a separatist movement in Bangladesh! What comes next? Article like Hindu Republic of India! just because of facebook propaganda like these HINDU-REPUBLIC-OF-INDIAHindu Republic of India _/\_—Samudrakula (talk) 00:33, 1 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete For a concept to have its own Wikipedia article, that concept must be the subject of at least two published sources which are cited. I can only check the English language sources here but those only give passing mentions of the term. There can be Wikipedia articles about the protests behind this concept but I do not see evidence in the English language sources that this term should have its own article. Much of the content presented here does not match the sources being cited. Blue Rasberry (talk) 13:32, 1 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete This article has been created for propaganda. Most of the sources are grossly misrepresented; the remaining are unreliable. Often newspapers publish news on non-sense matters but that doesn't make it suitable for Wikipedia. A propaganda term like 'Banglastan', which is published on a facebook page, can not be the subject of an Wikipedia article. Strong Delete. --Ali Haidar Khan Tonmoy (talk) 15:59, 1 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete, I don't see this article as a hoax or a vandalism attempt. However, the term Banglastan is not that notable for an article. Simply fails GNG. There are factual errors too. Faizan (talk) 16:33, 1 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete The article is nothing but an intentional attempt of incitation based on misrepresented and disputed unreliable sources which can be led to a clutter. The links of the newspaper article doesn't prove that it is a strong based factual concept, and these reports are nothing but some volatile thought, based on some social media propaganda to lead to unwanted sectarianism. These type of article should not be kept on wikipedia. Strong Delete. Sharif uddin (talk) 16:48, 1 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete I would like to ask for Speedy Delete for the article. Lots of unreliable sources, someone's personal opinion are given to establish the notability of the subject! And Basher Kella is just an unofficial facebook page. Looks like the creator of the article has no idea about it. It's any statement can't be the subject of an Wikipedia article.

  • Delete, This post is a propaganda. Someone wrote something in Facebook does not mean that it becomes notable. The concept of "Banglastan" is not any wide spread idea. The sources used here also don't establish the matter. These contents were picked up from some websites and then added in Wikipedia. The key term was used once in some websites and even some websites don't mentioned it. Few of the website page don't exist. Also those who used the term in the websites are all secondary person, not primary source, besides it is something they (persons who stated the term) believe. There is no clue that these guys got the information from the alleged party. There is an website link which refers a Facebook page, but as I stated earlier, it does not make it notable. So this page should be deleted. Intakhab ctg (talk) 19:32, 1 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete, I agree with others. It is just a propaganda. These type of article should not be kept on wikipedia. Strong Delete. Altaf (talk) 21:16, 1 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete, This is just a propaganada. Its not a widely known term. It shouldn't be on wikipedia. ferdous TM 03:50, 2 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Strong delete. It means two things - (a) a journalistic rhetoric used sporadically, and (b) one post in a defunct facebook page. Neither clears WP:N. Aditya(talk • contribs) 01:58, 4 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
