None of the sources used provide in-depth coverage. Online-only news site with numerous vanity articles. Much of the content in the article cannot be verified or failed verification. Vinegarymass911 (talk) 05:09, 8 May 2023 (UTC)

- Delete. All the cited sources either have no mention or only trivial mention of the subject. The sources in Bengali article aren't any better. Searches yield no significant coverage. Fails WP:GNG. Tutwakhamoe (talk) 03:39, 10 May 2023 (UTC)
Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

- Comment Being online-only is not a reason for deletion. If it has numerous vanity articles, that would affect its reputation, but not its notability. My own impression is that although it reprints press releases (vanity articles), it does so to no greater degree than many other Bangladeshi news outlets (Daily Sun, The Daily Observer, Banglanews24.com, Jagonews24.com, ...) And risingbd.com does real reporting too, for which its reporters get beaten up,[1] shot,[2] and punished by the government.[3] --Worldbruce (talk) 06:36, 19 May 2023 (UTC)
- Delete Some background is available from risingbd.com,[4] but there isn't significant coverage in independent reliable sources, only brief mentions of a change in editorship[5] and membership in various journalists' associations. Newspapers often have difficulty meeting WP:GNG, so essays Wikipedia:Notability (media) and Wikipedia:Notability (periodicals) suggest other criteria for evaluating notability. Risingbd.com has garnered an independent award for reporting on corruption,[6] but it isn't a notable or well-known award. It is cited now and then by other newspapers and by academic works, but probably not enough to rise to the level of "regular and significant usage" or "authoritative or influential". --Worldbruce (talk) 06:45, 19 May 2023 (UTC)
