Delete The article does not contain enough neutral reliable sources, most of the sources given are from sites containing biased or unverifiable information. The Origins of the Sri Lankan civil war page should be expanded with the reliable information from this article. UMDP (talk) 14:04, 12 February 2015 (UTC)

keep There is no need for delete due to unreliable sources. There are hundreds of articles with unreliable sources. Discuss at articles page and improve the article rather than delete. -- Anton Talk  08:09, 14 February 2015 (UTC)

Keep As AntanO stated there is no need to delete the article because there are no enough reliable sources when there is a state intimidation on media for decades and most of the Colombo based newspapers are biased towards Sri Lankan State Governments and not necessarily reflect neutrally the views of the Tamil minority community and its struggles.Kaytsfan (talk) 09:49, 14 February 2015 (UTC)


 * You can find better sources than Tamilnet. There are neutral sites like Groundviews.org that talks about these things. UMDP (talk) 01:15, 15 February 2015 (UTC)

Keep As the nominator has admitted there are plenty of "neutral" sources which mention this subject therefore this nomination fails WP:DEL-REASON. The article should be improved to overcome the WP:POV issues, not repeatedly nominated for deletion in order to WP:CENSOR.-- obi2canibe talk contr 12:34, 15 February 2015 (UTC)
