This article was previously deleted (via AfD) and then recreated by a different editor however it still fails to address the previous concerns, namely WP:BIO and WP:DIPLOMAT.

Simply being an consul for a country does not confer automatic notability. Also being the brother of a politician/military officer does not confer notability either (WP:NOTINHERITED). The references relate to him either just being the Consul-General for Turkey, not details of any achievements he made in this position, the other references relate to him being the brother of Ranjan Wijeratne or are related to him being a schoolboy cricketer. Hardly sufficient to establish notability. Dan arndt (talk) 11:34, 1 July 2019 (UTC)

 * Delete not all diplomats are notable, nothing suggests he is.John Pack Lambert (talk) 05:33, 2 July 2019 (UTC)
 * Delete - Numerous articles have been deleted at Afd because ambassadors don't any have any inherent notability. This guy wasn't even an ambassador. He was merely on honorary consul.--Obi2canibe (talk) 11:13, 6 July 2019 (UTC)
