Duminda Silva Syndrome

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

There are zero reliable sources demonstrating that this is a medically recognised syndrome rather than just the effect of an injury to a specific individual. ukexpat (talk) 13:30, 2 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

This a novel term to medicine which is used for explaining the scenario mentioned in this articles content. Accordingly above comment by ukexpat is invalid. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 112.135.197.201 (talk)

Delete - A minor neologism in Sri Lanka following an investigation into an assassination. It only seems to appear in facebook pages, the comments section of news sites, etc...thus falling afoul of WP:NEO and our general notability guidelines. Tarc (talk) 17:01, 2 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - No reliable sources. Also, not worth the copy-edit that would be required to clean up. Robert McClenon (talk) 19:07, 2 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Delete : The article contains patent nonsense and is not based on any scientific or medical proof. The article is solely made by people for fun. Although there has been an incident regarding Duminda Silva it has no association to a syndrome or any medical finding. The article must considered for speedy deletion. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 61.245.172.9 (talk) 20:04, 2 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy delete and close. Waste of AFD time. While I would not comment on the absurd and ridiculous series of events surrounding Duminda Silva, this article is a clear hoax and written entirely for the sake humour/insult. It's truly surprising to even see this page existing for so long. Also possible WP:NEO, per Tarc. P.s. I currently reside in Sri Lanka, and this page is your morning dose of laughter. EDIT: I think the IP talkpage edit here explains it all. Reh man 01:02, 3 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - No coverage in reliable sources to establish notability. — Joaquin008 ^(talk) 21:23, 3 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Speedy delete and close. This is obviously a part of an ongoing political hate campaign in Sri Lanka. Article contains complete nonsense. Anandawardhana (talk) 06:46, 4 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
