Murad Takla

• ... that generic term named Murad Takla has become popular in Bangladesh from 2012 means who writes Bangali on social media using English alphabet but does it completely and often hilariously wrong?

• The article is new enough and long enough (though stub tagged), but—ironically for this topic—the English is absolutely rough! I had to suggest new hook wording, not to mention repair the page. The hook sources seem to check out, though I cannot check others because I can't read or speak Bengali.

• ALT1: ... that in Bangladesh, the term Murad Takla refers to users who incorrectly write Bengali language using the Latin alphabet with unintentionally hilarious results?

However, I was also questioning the notability of the underlying topic, and some people I was consulting with on the page felt that it might not meet the general notability guideline. I also found some of the sources, including the hook source, to be flimsy (or even fluffy or humorous in tone). Are there better sources available, Mehediabedin?

Sammi Brie Many TV News showed report on Murad Takla. This term is famous in Bangladesh. But I don't know if I can present these sources here. Most sources are written in Bengali. Only two sources in English are available which I mentioned in the article. Mehedi Abedin 12:09, 25 December 2021 (UTC)

Mehediabedin Non-English sources are acceptable as long as they are reliable. SL93 (talk) 07:18, 21 January 2022 (UTC)

SL93 The non-english sources I mentioned in the article are all from reliable newspaper and online newspaper website. We have even Prothom Alo, one of the most read and most reliable newspaper in Bangladesh. Mehedi Abedin 09:23, 21 January 2022 (UTC)

Mehediabedin I have asked for assistance at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Bangladesh. SL93 (talk) 00:29, 26 January 2022 (UTC)

I would question whether newsbangla24.com and banglaekattor.com are reliable (have a reputation for accuracy and fact-checking). However, the others (The Daily Star, The Business Standard, Kaler Kantho, Prothom Alo, Jugantor, Dhaka Tribune, Bangla Tribune, Daily Inqilab, and Jamuna TV) are reputable news organizations reliable for the sorts of things newspapers are usually reliable for. --Worldbruce (talk) 01:24, 26 January 2022 (UTC)

I can replace banglaekattor.com source with reliable news report video source from RTV if it is permissible. Mehedi Abedin 06:50, 26 January 2022 (UTC)
