Adhil Bakeer Markar

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

This individual's only claim to fame is that he is the son/grandson of elected national politicians but notability is not inherited. There has been coverage of his death but this is to be expected - the sudden, unexpected death of any student in their dorm would be news.  obi2canibe talk contr 14:39, 23 October 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete as indicated above being a member of a major political family does not establish notability ( WP:NOTINHERITED). The coverage of his death by itself doesn't establish notability (see WP:ONEEVENT) and I haven't been able to find any other significant reliable coverage apart from that relating to his death.

 * Delete per nomination and WP:ONEVENT. EricSerge (talk) 17:40, 23 October 2016 (UTC)
 * Keep I think all the sources on the article are enough for WP:GNG. JohnTombs48 (talk) 20:12, 23 October 2016 (UTC)
 * Comment the only reason that Markar received any news coverage is because of his family connections & his death (WP:ONEEVENT) - before that the only mention of him was in news reports on his father. He has not achieved any significant notability in his own right. Dan arndt (talk) 01:33, 24 October 2016 (UTC)

 * Keep Adhil Bakeer Markar has gain significant coverage in all media forms in Sri Lanka and in the UK.NaminiGunasena (talk) 07:37, 28 October 2016 (UTC)
 * Comment -, apart from dying at an early age in a foreign country what notable achievements has he made? Dan arndt (talk) 11:54, 28 October 2016 (UTC)
 * Comment - As I stated in my nomination, the sudden death of any student would be news nowadays, particularly with the plethora of news sites. Here's a recent example where several reliable sources covered the death of a non-notable student: Mirror, Metro, MEN, Independent, MSN, YEP. Sad as the death may be, the coverage does not make him notable by Wikipedia standards.-- obi2canibe talk contr 15:22, 29 October 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete As this is not a notable individual. Sportsfan 1234 (talk) 00:48, 31 October 2016 (UTC)
