Fails WP: GNG, lacks significant coverage in multiple independent secondary sources. Only claim is winning a national beauty pageant - see WP:1EVENT. Failed to place at international level. No other significant achievements since then. Dan arndt (talk) 11:12, 29 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - sufficient coverage in RS to demonstrate notability; other awards and titles won than Miss Sri Lanka. MurielMary (talk) 11:38, 29 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Delete the Article because it's not notable itself. Forest90 (talk) 13:14, 29 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Notability isn’t established, neither the Miss Sri Lanka 2006 nor the Miss World 2006 article even mention her, and the sources are poor. Trillfendi (talk) 16:08, 29 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - Per WP:GNG and WP:ANYBIO. Good refs. BabbaQ (talk) 11:11, 30 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Comment, Firstly it appears that a number of editors have indicated that the article be kept as she won a national beauty pageant. It clearly needs to be pointed out that she never 'won' the 2006 Miss Sri Lanka, as the event was cancelled for security reasons. She was simply nominated by a travel agency to represent Sri Lanka at the 2006 Miss World, for which they paid her airfares to attend. Secondly there is no independent verification that she finished 2nd runner up at the International Best Female Model World pageant. In fact I am struggling to find any information that such a competition actually exists. Thirdly the Asia Fashion Awards are a non-notable competition and finishing in the top five in the Category of 'Asian Top Fashion Model of the Year Female' is hardly a notable achievement. Noting the article erroneously states that she 'won' the category. Dan arndt (talk) 07:14, 6 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Anyone who thinks the sources are good are lying to themselves. Trillfendi (talk) 22:53, 6 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Five out of Six sources are Sri Lankan news papers. Nothing wrong with them.--Chanaka L (talk) 03:34, 13 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
Relisting comment: On both the "keep" and "delete" sides, there's an absence of any helpful analysis. If you think the sources establish sufficient coverage to meet notability standards, please say which and why. If you don't, please say why not. "Yes they do" and "No they don't" back and forth aren't particularly of help.

Delete a non-notable model and beauty queen. All the more so because there was no competition for her to win. The fact that people are given these beauty queen titles by fiat should make us much more hesitant to treat than as real accomplishments adding up to notability.John Pack Lambert (talk) 21:46, 19 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
