Sri Lanka on Wikipedia: Outline – History – Portal – Category – WikiProject – Alerts – Deletions – Cleanup – Stubs – Assessment – To-do |
This is a collection of discussions on the deletion of articles related to Sri Lanka. It is one of many deletion lists coordinated by WikiProject Deletion sorting. Anyone can help maintain the list on this page.
- Adding a new AfD discussion
- Adding an AfD to this page does not add it to the main page at
WP:AFD. Similarly, removing an AfD from this page does not remove it from the main page at
WP:AFD. If you want to nominate an article for deletion, go through the process on that page before adding it to this page. To add a discussion to this page, follow these steps:
- Edit this page and add {{Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/PageName}} to the top of the list. Replace "PageName" with the relevant article name, i.e. the one on the existing AFD discussion. Also, indicate the title of the article in the edit summary as it is particularly helpful to add a link to the article in the edit summary. When you save the page, the discussion will automatically appear.
- You should also tag the AfD by adding {{subst:delsort|Sri Lanka|~~~~}} to it, which will inform editors that it has been listed here. You may place this tag above or below the nomination statement or at the end of the discussion thread.
- There are a few scripts and tools that can make this easier.
- Removing a closed AfD discussion
- Closed AfD discussions are automatically removed by a bot.
- Other types of discussions
- You can also add and remove other discussions ( prod, CfD, TfD etc.) related to Sri Lanka. For the other XfD's, the process is the same as AfD (except {{Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion/PageName}} is used for MFD and {{ transclude xfd}} for the rest). For PRODs, adding a link with {{ prodded}} will suffice.
- Further information
- For further information see Wikipedia's deletion policy and WP:AfD for general information about Articles for Deletion, including a list of article deletions sorted by day of nomination.
This list is also part of the larger list of deletion debates related to Asia.

Ambassadors are not inherently notable. Besides the first Google news hit, the rest of the coverage I found was not in depth. Fails WP:BIO. LibStar ( talk) 19:07, 10 June 2024 (UTC)
- Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: Women, Bilateral relations, Maldives, Sri Lanka, and Canada. LibStar ( talk) 19:07, 10 June 2024 (UTC)
- Delete, as indicated by LibStar, ambassadors are not inheritably notable - lacks any evidence of notable achievements either in that role or prior to their appointment. Cited references just confirm the individual's appointment nothing else. Dan arndt ( talk) 01:35, 11 June 2024 (UTC)
- Delete I couldn't find any notable events in their career as an ambassador, and none are mentioned in the references either.

- Delete, fails WP:BIO due to a lack of in-depth coverage in reliable, independent, secondary sources.

Fairly sure this fails the notability guidelines for companies but I'd appreciate a once-over from editors more familiar with aviation software, Sri Lanka or the UAE to make sure this nomination isn't a howler. Its presence on Wikipedia (including list entries and other links, hence I don't favour a redirect) is entirely down to a single-purpose account, almost certainly with a conflict of interest. – Tera tix ₵ 13:30, 10 June 2024 (UTC)

- Delete per nom fails WP:NCORP and WP:GNG. Pharaoh of the Wizards ( talk) 19:16, 10 June 2024 (UTC)

I could not find any sources whatsoever, failing WP:GNG. Could be redirected to Govigama, but since there is no coverage of the Pamunu people, I don't see why this should be done. Cocobb8 (💬 talk • ✏️ contribs) 15:03, 6 June 2024 (UTC)

- Delete. I don't know enough about this topic space to feel absolutely confident in my recommendations. However, a not-insignificant number of sources appear to use pamunu in a different context, referring to the heritable agricultural land holdings, and not to the sub-caste of people who would work them. [1] [2] Further, the Epigraphia Zeylanica is the source given in the article as current. Notwithstanding the problems of using 1930s sources for South Asian topics, the mentions of pamunu in volume 3 seem to fall along the "land holdings" sense and not the "caste" sense. There are some sources that use this term in the sense of this article, but they're generally low-quality, such as self-published books. Arguably the best such source is this paper, and even that includes pamunu only in a list of castes; also, I do not believe the International Journal of Advance Research and Innovative Ideas in Education is a high-quality indexed journal and if those caste lists are actually cited to anything at all there, I can't figure out what it would be (there is no reference 11).
