  • Weak Delete - New Age is a Reliable source, Published English Language newspaper in Bangladesh and one of the oldest English language newspaper. Notability on the other hand is uncertain but does not appear notable. Vinegarymass911 (talk) 22:35, 2 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Comment- NewAge is reliable but such kind of

  • Delete for now and I suppose draft/userfy if it helps the user but some of this can be started; my searches overall found nothing outstanding aside from various links here. IMDb only lists a few of his films and although there's more content here at Wiki, I think we can wait until he's achieved more coverage and notability. SwisterTwister talk 06:58, 5 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep: As in the spirit of the criteria for an
    WP:ENTERTAINER
    , he has acted in major roles for atleast:
    1. Shongram [Struggle] (google)
    2. Probashir Prem [Expatriate's Romance] (ref, a very short article but he is listed)
    3. Shotorupe Shotobar [Hundred Forms A Hundred Times]
Here are some reference news articles. I've selected the following articles from the bigger news sites:
  1. "বাংলাদেশের ছবিতে বাপ্পি লাহিড়ী" [Bappi Lahiri in a Bangladeshi film]. Prothom Alo (in Bengali). February 7, 2015. Retrieved July 6, 2015. Google translation. The article says the music of Shotorupe Shotobar will be directed by Bappi Lahiri and lists Amaan as a star. Google mistranslates "Shotorupe Shotobar" as "Satarupe photo hundred times."
  2. Rahat Saiful (June 11, 2015). "ব্রিটিশ শিল্পীদের সঙ্গে আমান" [British actresses with Amaan]. risingbd.com (in Bengali). Retrieved July 6, 2015. Google translation.
  3. Ahmed Zaman Shimul (June 17, 2015). "কার্গোর বিজ্ঞাপনে আমান রেজা" [Amaan Reza in a cargo advertisement]. dhallywood24.com (in Bengali). Retrieved July 6, 2015. Google translation. Amaan Reza acting in a commercial whilst still shooting for Shotorupe Shotobar.
His name in Bangla was actually miswritten in the article as আমন রেজা instead of the correct আমান রেজা too, but only after finding the mistake have I found articles about him! Please also note that this is in addition to the four references already present in the main article. Thank you for consideration. – Nahiyan8 (talk | contribs) 09:56, 6 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
I forgot to notify you but @Vinegarymass911: @SwisterTwister: what do you think? I've provided translation links for you to read. – Nahiyan8 (talk | contribs) 07:22, 8 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Hmm, the amount of sources does'nt swing me to a full keep and if any it'd be weak keep. It still looks he hasn't had many movies. SwisterTwister talk 14:13, 8 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
@SwisterTwister: Although he acted in 29 films (12 released as of November 2014) according to [1]. It's a bit hard to find more articles on his past work but it seems that he has only been given media attention after Shotorupe Shotobar. Besides, I don't think the nominator would feel too strongly about this after these 3 non-interview style references I've found. – Nahiyan8 (talk | contribs) 18:29, 8 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Still not enough citation, not all films are notable, of the four references present 2 are the same, and the other two are from an unreliable source and one of them is a Photo gallery. Prothom alo's article is more focused on
Bappi Lahri. Vinegarymass911 (talk) 00:10, 9 July 2015 (UTC)[reply

But he had a lead role in
link) also says that an actor should have some following and seeing his facebook page ([2]) he does have 4500+ followers. Well, it's a metric. – Nahiyan8 (talk | contribs) 06:53, 10 July 2015 (UTC)[reply

It's good that you, as the author of the article, think it should be kept. Can you identify for us which of the films he's been in are notable ones in which he has had a significant role? Worldbruce (talk) 01:02, 24 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete or userfy. Of the cited sources:
  • The two New Age pieces are short puff-ball primary source interviews with "What's your favorite color"-type questions. They don't count towards notability.
  • If Bangladeshi Entertainers is a
    reliable source
    , the two pieces from it, by the same author, count as one source.
  • The Prothom Alo and Dhaka Tribune articles only mention the subject in passing.
Of the additional sources found by Nahiyan8:
  • The Prothom Alo piece is the same one cited in the article.
  • The risingbd blurb isn't quite as trivial, but only says Reza is shooting a new movie in London and hopes it will be good.
  • dhallywood24 covers the same ground as risingbd, adding only that the role is as a police officer and Reza is also shooting a TV commercial.
His role in
WP:TOOSOON. The best result would be userfy to Tanbircdq (the original author) on the assumption that as more of Reza's films are released he will receive sufficient coverage in independent, reliable, secondary sources and thereby meet Wikipedia's inclusion criteria at some future date. Without support for userfy, I have to recommend delete. Worldbruce (talk) 06:31, 22 July 2015 (UTC)[reply
