Non-notable Tamil Tiger, article devoid of biographical detail; cursory passing mentions of pseudo-position do not add up to notability meriting separate article. THF (talk) 18:00, 17 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete nominator has said everything that needs to be said. Politizer ^talk/_contribs 19:06, 17 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep - Seems to be notable as he was a key player in: Long Range Reconnaissance Patrol operations and is also mentioned in: Sunday Times Panyd^{The muffin is not subtle} 20:08, 17 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

• Extra Comment - also mentioned in The Nation (Thailand) on June 14, 2005, Tuesday Panyd^{The muffin is not subtle} 20:13, 17 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

• Comment: He was actually killed by the LRRP, not a key player in it. I'm not sure if getting killed by a particular military organization makes you notable. Chamal ^talk 10:30, 18 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

• keep, or possibly merge - 'Devoid of biographical detail' is not a reason for deletion. He does hold a position from what I can see: Even a quick Google search shows up notability. Chase me ladies, I'm the Cavalry (talk) 20:11, 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. Please do not delete until agreed by Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Sri Lanka Reconciliation members. Refer Wikipedia:WikiProject Deletion sorting/Sri Lanka. -Iross1000 (talk) 00:03, 18 January 2009 (UTC).[reply]

• Keep - "I am too lazy to look something up" isnt a valid reason for deletion.Pectore^talk 22:47, 17 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Again, I've looked it up. The passing mentions in the press does not add up to notability, which is an objective Wikipedia standard. Please stop your personal attacks. THF (talk) 00:09, 18 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I have made no personal attacks, but I did summarize your rationale for deletion in a somewhat blunt manner.Pectore^talk 02:44, 18 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
