 * Comment- I created this article because I was also determined to create biographies related to archers from Sri Lanka. Dilhara Salgado is a female archer who has also competed for Sri Lanka at the 2010 Commonwealth Games, so that's why I created it. If you think still the article is not perfect I unanimously accept for the nomination of deletion. Abishe (talk) 09:06, 30 October 2017 (UTC)

 * Keep - I've added some more info and references from Sri Lankan news articles (I'm sure there will be more) so passes GNG now I believe - Ba se me nt 12  (T.C) 10:53, 31 October 2017 (UTC)

 * Keep per WP:SPORTCRIT and WP:GNG. Hmlarson (talk) 05:42, 3 November 2017 (UTC)
 * Speedy Keep this archer is even more notable than the other one nominated by Sportsfan that I just commented on, Articles for deletion/Shashikala Kumarasinghe, this is because she won a silver medal (at the Asian Games), and also competed at the commonwealth games.

 * Speedy keep The hack job on the article is puzzling, but the references deleted from the article still exist in the edit history.  I double checked in web.archive.org to see that the first reference is also online.  Deleting references from an article is not a valid path to argue in a nomination that they don't exist.
