 * KEEP Actual true and verifiable example of extreme multiple citizenship. If world's tallest man and Jennifer 8. Lee are notable, why not this? (Unsigned comment by page creator at 84.73.7.39)
 * Comment: I have a hard time believing that four passports is an actual world record. It doesn't seem like it would be all that difficult. Is it actually that difficult? -Aranel (" Sarah ") 19:49, 13 July 2005 (UTC)
 * Agreed, I wouldn't think four would be the record. If it's "verifyable" (or "verifiable"), please do so.  Delete for now. Dcarrano 19:53, July 13, 2005 (UTC)
 * It is pretty difficult due to restrictions placed by governments on multiple citizenship. Also, over the last 10-20 years many governments have withdrawn citizenship rights purely for birth. This means that for the newer generations (those more likely to get two citizenships from parents), one needs to be born abroad in a country that still gives rights (UK, for example, DE, etc, don't) to two parents of different citizenships where both parent citizenships are be transferrable (some countries only transfer from the father or the mother), naturalize to a fourth, and have all four parties accept the arrangement. So, yes, it's not easy. And verifiable through Guinness, i believe. (Unsigned comment by page creator at 84.73.7.39)
 * see http://www.multiplecitizenship.com/personalexamples.html for a list of examples. (Unsigned comment by page creator at 84.73.7.39)
 * Comment: I fail to see what this page proves - it has no names, no statistics, no real hard facts. This page couldn't be considered a valuable reference or verification. Still Delete --PhilipO 21:41, 13 July 2005 (UTC)
 * ok, last comment. do a google on 'four citizenships', you get 5 claims. two of these include a chinese citizenship - china doesn't recognize dual citizenship. one of these contain an argentinian citizenship - argentina only recognizes dual with spain. one contains israel, jordan and palestine - palestine is not a recognized state. the final doesn't list the countries. there is nothing claiming 5 or 6.

 * Comment In any event, there is no way of verifying that you have four citizenships (apart from your statement). Verification usually requires a reference to a news source or reputable record. IMHO this is still a vanity page, created and mostly maintained by the author about himself. --PhilipO 23:16, 13 July 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete, after some research. If this information can be verified by an independent, reliable source, then Mr. Perera probably does deserve a mention in the article on multiple citizenship, but not an independent article unless he becomes particularly famous for it or does something else of interest. On a side note, to the author of the article: great first effort! Why don't you register an account and stick with us? If you are Mr. Perera, we could move this article to your user page. Also, you can sign your comments by typing ~ . Then we can tell who is talking to us. :) -Aranel (" Sarah ") 23:53, 13 July 2005 (UTC)
 * Even if verifiable and true, big freakin' whoop. Delete obvious vanity. --Calton | Talk 00:50, 14 July 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete nn vanity/no verification. --Etacar11 01:00, 14 July 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete non notable vanity. JamesBurns 08:39, 14 July 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete - self-promoting vanity, rather hard to verify from anywhere, has really done nothing of note - Skysmith 11:24, 14 July 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete I have a friend with 5: UK, Eire, European Union, South Africa and Australia. It is not hard to do.--Porturology 13:02, 16 July 2005 (UTC)
