Reply The article is fairly new, and there are quite a number of secondary sources regarding the topic, more of which will be incorporated in sometime. It is to be remembered that
NewsX is one of the popular news channels which had broadcast the documentary and there was an official response offered by the
Sri Lankan government regarding the matter. So coverage wasn't exactly non-existent as per the initiator.--

Keep There seem to be secondary sources showing this is a notable topic. I'm sure there is a lot of work ahead to make sure the article is neutral, but don't delete.

Keep Incorrect assertion. The article meets both the criteria. --

Keep: Use of chemical weapons in a modern conflict is pretty much always going to be notable, and there are several sources in the article which settles verifiability.

Keep The article has balance problems as the denial of these reports by the Sri Lankan government is given far less space than material arguing that they occurred (and I suspect that the name of the article should be changed to something less certain), but it appears to cover a notable topic.

Keep Qualifies notability and it is not a news, but collection of researches and reports about the usage of chemical weapon during the civil war.

Keep needs some work on NPOV and possibly a move to something like "Alleged use of chemical weapons in Sri Lankan civil war", but definitely meets
WP:GNG IMO.
