Banglapedia represent original research and thus arguably qualify as secondary. Furthermore I defy you to name a source that is absolutely free from controversy of one kind or another. The decorated nytimes is not without stain, for example. The complaints against
Banglapedia linked above have major sourcing problems of their own -- being both tertiary and opinion. Banglapedia, with 5000 pages, is an unparalleled source of info written mostly by serious scholars. It is not the last word, especially on sensitive issues like the independence war, but I believe it has a place as a reference here. The article gained featured status in the first place with these very references in place, so I would urge people to focus on the other more pressing issues. Currently only 6 out of 84 references are from Banglapedia and none of them are sensitive issues at all (eg, jute, dance, film).

I have removed redundant and extra images from most of the sections, reducing the number of images (including maps) down to 13. Hope this takes care of Cirt's concern about images. Cirt is definitely correct about the previous status ... 25 images is too much for an article. Hope the current number

From my observations of FAR, thinking of it as a process where specific concerns are stated to be addressed individually point-by-point is not the best way to look at it. That's a road to frustration. In most cases what the reviewers here are looking for, although they seem to be reluctant to say

Just my two cents: let's not be too hasty about converting those references, unless there is really a superior alternative. Yes, an encyclopedia is generally considered a tertiary source. But tertiary sources are appropriate for summary information as opposed to detail. Plus many of the articles in

so outright, is a major overhaul. Maybe you can ask the delist voters on a scale from 1 to 100 how far from a support they are to get a better idea of how much more work they think is needed and compare that to how much effort you are willing to exert to attempt to keep the article as a FA.
