I nominated this yesterday sometime for a speedy on nonsense; but, well, it's not patent nonsense. In any event, though, it's riddled with weasel words, and in my opinion borders on an attack article. Notability is most certainly at question.

Delete. Notability problems. — Timneu22 · talk 15:47, 26 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. I removed a great deal of POV material questioning the validity of the election - information of that sort goes elsewhere, probably to Provisional Transnational Government of Tamil Eelam or Transnational Constituent Assembly of Tamil Eelam election 2010. The remainder is a two-line stub - I can't find any other notability. UltraExactZZ ^Said~ Did 14:16, 27 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Delete (although I would consider a redirect to Provisional Transnational Government of Tamil Eelam). Unless there's an alternate spelling I haven't tried, there appears to be no coverage of this individual apart from a very brief mention in this story, which is replicated on a couple of Tamil websites, so the general notability guideline hasn't been satisfied. Furthermore, the fact that the office to which Visuvanathan has been elected is not within a recognised government means the politician-specific notability guideline is not met either. -- Lear's Fool (talk | contribs) 15:11, 27 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy Delete Wrong information. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Wipeouting (talk • contribs) 16:36, 27 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect it to Provisional Transnational Government of Tamil Eelam, which has coverage of the group. The article is a magnet for BLP violations, and as pointed out above, there isn't a great deal of coverage on this person that one would expect if they were notable.
