 * Keep: The ethnic conflict in Sri Lanka has broader origins than the civil war and remains a major case study in contemporary texts (e.g., Jesse and Williams 2011; Cordell and Wolff 2010).--Jsorens (talk) 18:08, 27 November 2012 (UTC)

 * Keep The article depicting the Ethnic conflict in Sri Lanka is slated to be deleted :(......My question is "Why is such a important piece of history been deleted and to suit whom ? isn't history one for all and all of history for one ? history has never been known to side with anyone hence keep this important history so that generations will be aware of dark but historically important decades in Sri Lanka,this has shed light on the "root causes" pertaining to this conflict.Why the haste to remove and for whom ?

 * Redirect to Sri Lankan Civil War Because,Ethnic conflict in Sri Lanka this article is violating first two of Five pillars.Nishadhi (talk) 17:08, 30 November 2012 (UTC)


 * Redirect to Sri Lankan Civil War which deals with the ethnic conflict. Origins of the Sri Lankan civil war deals with the causes of the ethnic conflict. This is yet another WP:POVFORK from an editor with a habit of creating POV forks (see 1 and 2). The result of the previous Afd four months ago was keep and improve but the editor has done little to improve the article. Indeed he has said he is happy about current content. This and his behaviour over the last week suggests he will not do anything to bring this article up to the minimum standards required by Wikipedia.-- obi2canibe talk contr 14:33, 1 December 2012 (UTC)


 * Keep - Already decided to Keep. Obi2canibe, You have misread it. It is just “keep and improve”. No mentioned about responsible authors. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 131.107.0.81 (talk) 12:46, 3 December 2012 (UTC)
 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.
