List of archives in Sri Lanka

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Deprodded without rationale. I had originally prodded with the following comment: "I would have turned this into a dab page, but there are no blue links. Not notable as a stand-alone list." Searches on News and Books returned zero hits (other than the Wikipedia article). Scholar, Newspapers, Highbeam and JStor returned zero hits.  Onel 5969  TT me 23:54, 21 February 2017 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * I'm generally in favour of keeping per WP:CLN. In this case, as a main list for Category:Archives in Sri Lanka. This list could apparently be expanded to up to five, which is acceptable, for me. However this category already has List of digital repositories in Sri Lanka, which perhaps could be merged into the nominated page. At any rate, once again, keep per CLN.

 * Also, I want to understand the nomination statement correctly: is the nominator saying that he performed a Google search and found that there were no archives at all in Sri Lanka? Shawn in Montreal (talk) 01:26, 22 February 2017 (UTC)

 * Keep, as per WP:CLN. This list is one of many "List of archives", it contains links to the various archives in Sri Lanka. Dan arndt (talk) 03:13, 24 February 2017 (UTC)
