Name choice questioned

This article might as well be about the zamindar Aga Baker Khan, a Mughal official of Bengal under the Nawab. That corresponds to the first citation which is a biography of Aga Baker. The name Bayram Khan usually refers to the associate of the Mughal Emperors Humayun and Akbar, whose article is at Bairam Khan. See, e.g. The Cambridge History of Islam - Volume 2 - Page 42. In Google Books I found no mention of a governor Bayram Khan in Bakla Sarkar or Barisal. Aga Baker was the governor of Chittagong, and is at least mentioned in other sources. --Bejnar (talk) 19:14, 5 June 2025 (UTC)Reply

Notability questioned

This article is based upon the works of a single author, Siraj Uddin Ahmed. He appears to have been a relatively minor official in the Bengali State. There doesn't seem to be support for the Basic criteria of "People are presumed notable if they have received significant coverage in multiple published secondary sources that are reliable, intellectually independent of each other, and independent of the subject." (WP:BASIC) Second there doesn't appear to be significant mention of him in the second cited work, the History of Barasal Division, namely just the attribution of a couple of public works to him and the legend of the Sufi saint Hazrat Ghazni Shah. In Google Books I found no mention of a governor Bayram Khan in Bakla Sarkar or Barisal. --Bejnar (talk) 19:14, 5 June 2025 (UTC)Reply
