Per original AfD, Subject of the article fails WP:ACADEMIC and WP:GNG. Professors are generally not considered notable and they don't get freebie encyclopedic article on Wikipedia for being a professor. This remains valid in re-nominating this page in my opinion, which is why I vote for it to be deleted. Dane2007 (talk) 06:06, 1 August 2016 (UTC)

 * Delete. It appears the subject does not meet either the general notability guideline or the notability guideline for academics. Rebb  ing  08:02, 1 August 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete - as per nom, clearly fails WP:NACADEMIC and WP:GNG. There is no evidence that his research has made a significant impact in his discipline, the only award cited is one from his local high school, he has not held a named chair appointment or distinguished professor appointment at a major institution, nor has he made substantial impact outside academia in their academic capacity. He has an extremely low citation rate and only a few published papers not enough to satisfy the notability requirements. Dan arndt (talk) 08:27, 1 August 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete Does not appear to meet either GNG or WP:PROF. Does not seem to have made a significant impact in his field: simply being a professor is insufficient, and the professional association he is a part of does not seem prestigious enough that membership grants notability.

 * Delete. I don't think the Institute of Physics Sri Lanka is significant enough for WP:PROF and there seems to be nothing else. —David Eppstein (talk) 04:52, 6 August 2016 (UTC)
