Notability is not asserted for person. Zero pages link there, and article was only created right after death. Prod was removed with no improvement. There are very few google hits. Reywas92 Talk 00:50, 10 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep. notable politician. -- brew crewer  (yada, yada) 01:01, 10 February 2008 (UTC)
 * 1880 hits isn't very much. Anyway, that doesn't give notability to the current article.   Reywas92 Talk  01:10, 10 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep, Sri Lankan member of parliament and minister. --Oldak Quill 01:29, 10 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep, politicians who have held national office are notable. – Sadalmelik (talk) 03:49, 10 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep. I added some references. A current or former member of any national or state/province parliament is automatically notable, whether living or dead. --Eastmain (talk) 05:57, 10 February 2008 (UTC)
