*Keep Not surprising that he is not in google. He works in Sri Lanka taking care of sick people and working for peace. How is that not notable??? Keep this up and wikipedia becomes a "best of google." -Daniel Lotspeich MD --Daniel Lotspeich 23:18, 5 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Comment, In Wikipedia, notability means 'name recognition'. Wikipedia is not necessarily a good or accurate reflection of the real world. It just presents what history recorded and what the elites (in the sociology sense) want us to think. If you can find his name in a journal of medicine (google doesn't search academic journals) or something then he might stand a chance. --maclean25 01:25, 6 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]

DeleteI searched for the name in OVID Medline (a medical database) and nothing came up. Could be the next Mother Theresa, but apparently will be working in obscurity.--Daniel Lotspeich 20:37, 11 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Delete unless further notability can be established. There is very little claim to his notability in the article and without some other evidence of notability, I don't see much to merit keeping... --Daedalus-Prime 23:39, 5 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Delete While I'm sure Gunasingam is a very inspiring man, like it or not, Google is an arbiter of notability on a web-based project such as this. Zero hits is not at all encouraging; I would expect at least a few if he were a notable peace activist. Is it possible a Hindi or Tamil search might be more fruitful?
