British Sri Lankan Tamil: Humanitarian Issues

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

PROD was added without an explanation so it was summarily declined as it should have been. As such, I'll go ahead and send this to AfD with a full nomination: the current article fails WP:NOTCASE as it is a POV fork from Human rights in the United Kingdom and British Tamil. As such it should be deleted as being against WP:NOT and WP:DEL5. TonyBallioni (talk) 20:40, 2 August 2017 (UTC)

 * Del, this article not only has a topic on it, but is heavily biased and belongs in British Sri Lankan Tamil, not here. Also, an article lacking sufficient research  likely isn't notable for Wikipedia.   Ups  and  Downs  (↕) 06:59, 4 August 2017 (UTC)


 * Delete per nom. POV fork from the two articles cited. It is not an encyclopaedic article unto itself - per WP:OSE - as it is not inherently notable, just bits and bods put together to create WP:SYNTH. As it stands, any relevant content should only constitute a brief subsection in one or the other article. --Iryna Harpy (talk) 01:32, 6 August 2017 (UTC)
 * Delete - none of this makes sense. For one, Sri Lankan culture(s) existed for thousands of years and every facet and religion therein was homophobic and patriarchal. Britain hasn't controlled Ceylon since 1948, almost 70 years ago. Secondly, the colonial service was a den of homosexuality (see Roger Casement). Third, it's mostly illogical nonsense and synthesis mixed in with soapboxing. Tamil LGBT may be an oppressed minority subculture, but don't blame the Brits for what's happening in 2017.
