Comment He doesn't meet
WP:POLITICIAN because he hasn't been elected to or held office. The closest he has come is an abortive run for mayor of Dhaka. He is a figure within the Jatiya party; does he meet
WP:GNG? His political career can be summed up as:
February 2013: appointed special adviser to party leader
February 2014: appointed party spokesman
March 2015: in break with party, declared his independent candidacy for mayor of Dhaka
April 2015: pulled out of mayor's race
August 2015: reinstated as special adviser to party leader
Each event was covered by plenty of media, but generally in the form: "According to a press release ..." He's been on at least three political talk shows. They're in rapid-fire Bengali, so I can't evaluate whether they're significant coverage of him, or whether he's just acting as a mouthpiece for the party.

He has received significantsome coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject. He might be in the borderline of GNG. There is, however, a possibility that the article is created by editors with CoI. --nafSadhdidsay 16:53, 7 October 2015 (UTC)reply

Keep, whilst the page has a promotional (probably COI) tone, I think minimum standards for notability are clearly met. Googling the name in Bangla gives plenty of hits, for example
Prothom Alo (major daily national newspaper) has 954 article with him, including articles where his own campaign is covered as the main topic (for example
http://www.prothom-alo.com/bangladesh/article/482671 ). --
