New Age Poetry of Bangladesh

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

I came upon this article after seeing the same editor undertaking some suspicious activity that I think is COI/self-promotion adding the same patent nonsense about "Literature enters a new era i.e. Post-postmodernism with the publication of Md. Ziaul Haque’s “Give Me a Sky to Fly” in 2014." The subject of this page is not notable, the concept expressed is not discussed in real reliable sources such as reliable international or regional journals. This seems like someone's personal idea broadcast on Wikipedia (perhaps the ever ubiquitous "Haque" whose name and "work" keeps being inserted everywhere by the same user). Three of the sources are non-existent, the fourth IJHSSI article is not a credible or respected journal among literary scholars or historians, and the journal article itself is nonsense, reads like it was written by a computer program (like many science and maths journals criticized in the press) and is an article sourced by non-existent scholars, the source is nonsense. Delete for being patent nonsense, lacking notability, lacking reliable sourcing, and potential COI/self-promotion editing. ColonelHenry (talk) 14:21, 9 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. I have to agree with ColonelHenry here. The current article is dominated by the Haque material. The IJHSSI is, to say the least, not a reputable, established journal (nor, based on its web site, is it likely to become one: "IJHSSI publish only and only quality papers." Indeed.). The paper itself is virtually nonsense and its authorship questionable (the institution represented by the lead author is a private high school that doesn't currently list the author on staff, the webpage for the second is currently blocked by my browser as an attack page, and the third author is actually a real person in a non-professor position at a small private college). Additionally, this material has been inserted in Wikipedia in a variety of places. I just excised it from Bengali poetry; I'm forced to conclude we should treat the "Give me a Sky to Fly" material as spam. However, this article has been around since 2010, and I tried to find a functional version in page history. Sadly, the only references that occur at any point are the first three currently present. If those are real, I cannot find them given the citations provided. Even aggressive searches in Wordcat provide me with no results. I'm extremely doubtful that any article at this title could meet inclusion standards, but even if I'm wrong on that account, such an article would owe nothing to what is here now, nor what has been here in the past.
