 * Keep. GS cites are 77, 75, 51, 45... h index = 14. With some news items would appear to pass WP:Prof. Nominator should read WP:Before. Xxanthippe (talk) 01:28, 29 September 2010 (UTC).
 * I am an experienced editor and have read WP:BEFORE many a time. LibStar (talk) 01:28, 29 September 2010 (UTC)
 * Nominator should also read WP:Prof, which explains academic notability. Nominator's last two BLP AfDs concern two Sri Lankans. Nominator should be careful not to give any perception of ethnic bias. Xxanthippe (talk) 02:16, 29 September 2010 (UTC).
 * Xxanthippe should assume good faith, I nominate a large variety of articles not just Sri Lankans, I find your accusation offensive. nominating articles is not attacking subject of article, it is questioning notability. LibStar (talk) 02:29, 29 September 2010 (UTC)


 * Keep. Satisfies Notability (academics), see Information about: Sisira Kumara Jayasuriya. WWGB (talk) 02:58, 29 September 2010 (UTC)
 * Clear keep Significant academic, quoted as expert, lots of citations. Don't know why this is here, but I would join Xxan in advising the nominator to do more checking before nominating in the future. Ray  Talk 14:43, 29 September 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep as he does pass WP:PROF and I would ask Xxan to remember WP:AGF, before accusing someone of "ethnic bias". Jenks24 (talk) 09:02, 1 October 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep WorldCat shows 7 books  and several dozen other publications. That's enough for notability  DGG ( talk ) 06:36, 5 October 2010 (UTC)
