Keep per WP:NTV, I see no reason to believe that a TV-series based on the notable work by a notable writer aired on the leading Bengali TV channel should not be sourceable to GNG, see also WP:BCASTOUTCOMES. But I see no attempts to do so prior to nomination, or any other meassures to follow policy. The nomination does not state why subject is not notable, giving the impression of a WP:JUSTNOTNOTABLE statement. Sam Sailor 07:18, 27 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Sam Sailor - Can any reliable sources actually be found ? I did a google search but failed to find the needle — F R ⁺ 09:50, 27 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

You tell me, Bengali is, if I'm not mistaken, your language, and it is not mine. I get ~50,000 hits on the Bengali title (alt. search added above), and if I just look at Gnews there should be plenty to start sourcing this article. We are here to buld an encyclopedia.

Sam Sailor--90% of the sources found are related to the actual meaning of the word দেবীপক্ষ (A particular division of days in during Durga Puja). Among the sources related to this serial, two are interviews and the rest are mostly WP:MILL coverage that almost every serial receives when it starts airing — F R ⁺ 11:21, 27 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - I don't have the exact ratings of this show, but a show on a network that garners a viewership of over 360 million[1] (that's higher than ABC, NBC, CBS and Fox combined) is most certainly notable and it would be only willful ignorance to not believe there is extensive coverage in the Bengali language. Just a quick search brings up in-depth coverage from Kaler Kantho.[2][3] --Oakshade (talk) 06:30, 16 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
