One of several articles by the same author about a minor Tamil Tiger; the articles are devoid of biographical detail; cursory passing mentions of pseudo-position are not the "significant" coverage required for notability meriting separate article. THF (talk) 21:58, 17 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep - Notable high level commander of a very prominent militant organization, the Tamil Tigers. Also, this nomination is a horrible escapade in ignorance driven deletionism, considering a two-picosecond attempt at establishing notability shows that he was Number 2 in the LTTEPectore^talk 22:33, 17 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep - This article has links from Tamil Tigers wikipedia page and shouldn't be deleted. Person mentioned in this article was a senior Tamil Tiger person.

• Keep as the thing about his being referred to as #2 seems to be valid, and establishes notability. But it will need lots of cleanup anyway; I've plastered it with cleanup tags in the meantime. Politizer ^talk/_contribs 09:26, 19 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

On the side, a general comment about this whole set of AfDs: from what I have seen so far, some of the individuals are notable and some aren't. It's clear that the editors who created the article think they are all notable. But it would have helped the process a lot if you could have provided sources and information from the beginning asserting that notability (ie, what they have done in their capacity as officers), rather than expecting us to just know what makes a Tamil Tiger notable. A lot of these arguments could have been averted. Politizer ^talk/_contribs 09:16, 19 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
