 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * I have no opinion as yet on the substantive issue of notability, but must point out "the content in the article mainly depended upon Sri Lankan sources" is not in any way a reason for or contributing factor towards non-notability. 86.17.222.157 (talk) 10:16, 6 January 2018 (UTC)

 * Keep The award from The World Academy of Sciences has generated enough coverage to pass the general notability guideline, as referenced in the article. These sources are from major national publications in a country with a population of over 20 million. The fact that they are from Sri Lanka rather than a smaller country such as the Netherlands does not mean that they can't be used to establish notability. 86.17.222.157 (talk) 19:32, 12 January 2018 (UTC)
 * Keep The nominator's argument for deletion is that the sources are Sri Lankan! That is not a valid reason for deletion, but is clear evidence of WP:BIAS. Jacona (talk) 01:23, 18 January 2018 (UTC)
 * Keep To be awarded with "The World Academy of Science Young Scientist Award-2017" does pass WP:GNG and reliable independent source from Sri Lanka is an accepted source. Here found source from Australia SBS Station . CASSIOPEIA (talk) 10:54, 18 January 2018 (UTC)
