The result was Technical Keep as, although it may seem a No-Consensus, it is in fact a Keep given the one Delete vote in fact lists his position as being major, hence like the other comments in fact satisfying WP:POLITICIAN, thus there are no serious considerations for delete (NAC).

- Strong Keep per WP:POLITICIAN. This man served as Treasurer of Sri Lanka, which is a powerful government position. MB298 ( talk) 02:26, 5 November 2016 (UTC)
- Secretary to the Treasury is a civil service post, not political, equivalent to Permanent Secretary. Therefore does not qualify for notability under WP:POLITICIAN. However, the individual may qualify under WP:GNG.-- obi2canibe talk contr 15:20, 6 November 2016 (UTC)
- Weak Delete - it would appear that the individual's only notability is that he was the chair of the United National Party. Most of the article relates to the fact that he is the son of J. C. Ratwatte II ( WP:NOTINHERITED) or his minor bureaucratic roles (which are not notable). I fail to see any significant notability. Dan arndt ( talk) 01:27, 7 November 2016 (UTC)

- Comment Note that this AfD should have been immediately marked Speedy keep WP:NPASR and an administrator or NAC should have closed the discussion, as this nomination is an argument from WP:ATA. This allows the nominator to either improve the nomination or conclude that an AfD was not needed. As it is, three weeks into the discussion there is not any evidence of a problem that needs attention. Unscintillating ( talk) 07:33, 24 November 2016 (UTC)
