Non notable person. Davidjohn13 (talk) 13:00, 17 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Weak keep - a poor article that needs development. However, he has achieved fellowship of a number of seemingly highly reputable organisations, which I think indicates he is of some recognised importance. Sionk (talk) 14:08, 17 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

The spelling is wrong. if you search as Lucian Jayasuriya there are many more references to his work, He was Additional Secretary Ministry of Health and Director General of Health Services in addition to being the president of the National Medical Association and chairman of the body regulating Medical Education in the country.

Changing name to Lucian Jayasuriya may change the nature of this discussion to the fact that the article is poorly written, badly referenced and not to the fact that Dr Jayasuriya is a non notable person. The misspelling of the subjects name should be corrected to ensure that this discussion is carried out according to the standards expected of wikipedia

I suspect hat this discussion originated through a simple google search under the wrong spelling of the subjects name in this article

I say keep but it needs extensive rewriting.

There actually seem to be more mentions of him under 'Lucien Jayasuriya'. He's often quoted in news articles and mentioned briefly. Sionk (talk) 00:13, 18 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I have fixed the copy and paste move, and restored the VfD nomination. (No vote from me.) - Mike Rosoft (talk) 18:08, 20 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Does it make a difference to the discussion if the person requesting the deletion has been tagged as a sock puppet and blocked indefinitely? Under the circumstances should we be considering the tag as an act of vandalism particularly when a senior editor has declined the nomination for deletion in the page Davidjohn13 and continuing the discussion on vandalism particularly considering the annotation about A7?
