C. Siriwardene

Fails WP:ATH. The article does not have the full name of the player. He played a single match of cricket for a first-class team (at least, the opponents were first-class). Cmprince (talk) 05:02, 24 October 2009 (UTC)


 * Keep. Lack of details is not a reason to delete as these may be forthcoming when further research is done.  The fact that Siriwardene played a first-class match means that he does pass the WP:Notability test per WP:Athlete and WP:CRIN.  The source quoted is entirely reliable for cricket statistics.  Furthermore, Kandy Cricket Club was definitely a first-class club in 1992–93 when Siriwardene was playing: see CricketArchive for list of first-class matches that season.  Kandy play (or did play) at the Asgiriya Stadium, a Test venue in Sri Lanka.  Jack | talk page 05:32, 24 October 2009 (UTC)

 * Comment. There was a Champika Siriwardene playing top-level school cricket in Kandy a couple of years before this article subject's first-class "career", so I suspect that that is the same person. Phil Bridger (talk) 12:58, 25 October 2009 (UTC)
