 * Delete Even with the Amnesty Report and the mention in two books, there is not enough for WP:BIO. Mcewan (talk) 14:59, 14 January 2013 (UTC)
 * Redirect Can this be redirected to an appropriate article in the series of articles about Sri Lankan civil war ? Kanatonian (talk) 15:13, 14 January 2013 (UTC)

 * Keep - per this two books cited her name and the incident mentions in two books is without a doubt notable.--BabbaQ (talk) 10:59, 20 January 2013 (UTC)
 * Keep As per BabbaQ and HudsonBreeze .In the Sri Lankan civil war  over 100000 people died and the fact that two books cited her name and the incident  make clearly notable for a Sri Lankan individual without even considering the local Tamil and Sinhala sources.Pharaoh of the Wizards (talk) 14:49, 20 January 2013 (UTC)
 * Delete for multiple reasons. WP:BLP1E, we don't have articles on low profile people involved in one event except in unusual circumstance. WP:VICTIM, same with victims of crimes. WP:BIO, a mention of a name is not in depth coverage. duffbeerforme (talk) 07:42, 25 January 2013 (UTC)

 * Delete The keep arguments have not addressed concerns about WP:BLP1E nor the fact that mentions in a book are simply mentions, and not the same as books or large publications where she is the focus of the article. Furthermore, it seems there have been no lasting or historic consequences to this crime per WP:CRIME. Mkdw talk 07:01, 29 January 2013 (UTC)
 * Delete - per duff and Mkdw, who make persuasive points. Jus  da  fax   07:09, 29 January 2013 (UTC)
 * Keep As per BabbaQ 174.91.154.167 (talk) 19:24, 1 February 2013 (UTC)
 * KeepShe is a native of Karampon and the rape incident was widely published in local Tamil newspapers.Kaytsfan (talk) 14:51, 2 February 2013 (UTC)
 * Delete and mention at Sri Lanka and state terrorism. It would help if you could link some local newspaper sources because I'm currently not seeing much international coverage. The two aforementioned books, and, are closely paraphrased and mention her in the passing. One is sourced from this Amnesty International source  and I wouldn't be surprised if the other was as well. It just doesn't seem to meet WP:BLP1E.  Funny  Pika! 02:05, 4 February 2013 (UTC)
 * Delete Though she is in fact mentioned in these books, she is mentioned in passing and in my opinion not substantively enough to exempt BLP1E. It is likely but not sure that both books cite this incident (or person) from the Amnesty International  source. That possibility aside though, it is worth a mention in the article mentioned by FunnyPika above. NativeForeigner Talk 23:58, 4 February 2013 (UTC)
