Colonel Sornam

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

One of several articles by the same author about a minor Tamil Tiger; the articles are devoid of biographical detail; cursory passing mentions of pseudo-position are not the "significant" coverage required for notability meriting separate article. This one doesn't even have the fellow's name. THF (talk) 21:58, 17 January 2009 (UTC)

 * Keep - Notable high level commander of a very prominent militant organization, the Tamil Tigers. Also, this nomination is a horrible escapade in ignorance driven deletionism.Pectoretalk 22:31, 17 January 2009 (UTC)

 * Delete Nothing said about anything the person has done, other than mentioning two jobs he has held. Politizer talk / contribs 09:16, 19 January 2009 (UTC)
 * On the side, a general comment about this whole set of AfDs: from what I have seen so far, some of the individuals are notable and some aren't. It's clear that the editors who created the article think they are all notable.  But it would have helped the process a lot if you could have provided sources and information from the beginning asserting that notability (ie, what they have done in their capacity as officers), rather than expecting us to just know what makes a Tamil Tiger notable.  A lot of these arguments could have been averted. Politizer talk / contribs 09:16, 19 January 2009 (UTC)
