Keep - reliable sources found - satisfies WP:NSCHOOL. Dan arndt (talk) 04:28, 8 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Three of the sources added are government websites and databases, not WP:INDEPENDENT coverage. The other one is good but it's not enough by itself to keep per WP:NSCHOOL. b uidhe 05:03, 8 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Comment - additional references added. Dan arndt (talk) 01:52, 11 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Some of these sources don't mention the subject at all. And this is just a passing mention. I only see the one source (this one) that has significant independent coverage. b uidhe 02:14, 11 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
I wasn't referring to those references (which I didn't add & I question their relevance) but to the Sinhalese references and the debate in the Sri Lankan Parliament. BTW the Daily News article was supporting the fact that Dayananda Somasundara was an alumni of the school. Dan arndt (talk) 08:39, 12 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. The article in The Sunday Times is significant coverage and enough to warrant an article in my opinion. That in conjunction with the government sources should be enough. We have to remember that coverage in non-Western countries is more limited due to lack of publications in comparison to Western countries, and a little leeway should be given in order to prevent systemic bias in our encyclopedic coverage.4meter4 (talk) 03:09, 29 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
