Poorly sourced BLP. Was PRODed, and quoted for unsourced BLP, and one source was added that does not answer WP:BIO or WP:POLITICIAN. A check myself did not reveal any more sources. Wolfstorm000 (talk) 10:06, 5 December 2010 (UTC)


 * Keep Sorry but being a comfirmed Member of a national parliament instantly passes both WP:POLITICIAN and WP:BIO. They contribute to governing countries so are clearly notable. But you are correct in that they need multiple sources. For some reason though google is not finding much at all on this chap, maybe somebody could find his name in the native Sinhala language?. I am certain he had a government profile like Parliament profile this when he represented parliament in Sri Lanka for the 13th term but as it is now the 14th I suspect this is the reason why that link is now dead on my PC, that its no longer accessible, unless sombody else can access it. It seems that Naoshad is an incorrect spelling, Naushad I think is correct. But for some reason its not picking up many hits I need to expand this.. I have managed to scrap together some info. I strongly suggest you now withdraw this nomination as in all honesty the chances of it being deleted is zilch...♦  Dr. Blofeld  11:23, 5 December 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep. Obviously meets WP:POLITICIAN. Kudos to Dr. Blofeld on finding sources. Location (talk) 15:29, 5 December 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep - with the major expansion and improvement in sourcing since this AfD was started, I don't think there is any further doubt the article meets our requirements. I know AfD is not supposed to be for "cleanup", but in this case it has resulted in a much better article than we had before. Full disclosure: I took a look at this at the request of Wolfstorm000.
