non-notable physician. None of his revolutionary achievements seems to have made an actual impact--GS shown his most cited publication has 9 citations. h=5. Very unwisely accepted from AfC in 2011.  DGG ( talk ) 09:57, 22 June 2013 (UTC)

 * Delete The claims made on the page seem inflated. For example, it claims he developed the process for implanting a heart valve via a vein in the groin, but a brief search suggests most of that work has been done in Belgium. His identification of "Accelerated Atherocoronary Metabolic Syndrome of the Asian Indian" does not seem to have caught on. His academic posts and journal citations do not qualify him under WP:ACADEMIC. --MelanieN (talk) 17:37, 22 June 2013 (UTC)
 * Delete. In addition to MelanieN's findings, the WoS search "Author=(Jayasinghe R*) Refined by: Organizations-Enhanced=(GOLD COAST HOSP) Timespan=All years. Databases=SCI-EXPANDED, SSCI, A&HCI" shows 8 papers with a grand total of 3 citations. This does not support the claim that subject "is a world expert on the topic of coronary artery disease". Article is a CV having mostly WP:OR. Agricola44 (talk) 15:46, 25 June 2013 (UTC).
 * Delete Overblown, self prmoting claims. Claims to be inventor of only percutaneous Mitral Valve repair therapy.  Their are currently 3 commercial available products, which had no input from Jayasinghe.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mikola232 (talk • contribs) 06:48, 27 June 2013 (UTC)
 * Delete: Absurd puffery and patently untrue. The findings of editors above certain cements the case against the retention of an article on this subject. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Qwerty Binary (talk • contribs) 03:47, 29 June 2013 (UTC)
