Comment: No marked difference between content of previous declined version of drafft and current. Epsilon.Prota talk 20:00, 18 June 2026 (UTC)
- Comment: I can't see any sign that these sources are either independent or reliable. Almost all are unbylined, a few feature identical or near-identical text published in separate publications, and some contain language that would be extremely strange to see from an independent journalist.

Criticism
[edit] |
Since its launch, Bhikitia has faced criticism, particularly from some quarters of the online encyclopedia community. A notable controversy arose in November 2024 when a Bengali Wikipedia administrator Aftabujjaman labeled Bhikitia a "fake website".[9] These claims were strongly denied by the Bhikitia Council, which emphasized its independence and adherence to transparent practices.[10]
