Keep. GS cites are 77, 75, 51, 45... h index = 14. With some news items would appear to pass WP:Prof. Nominator should read WP:Before. Xxanthippe (talk) 01:28, 29 September 2010 (UTC).[reply]

I am an experienced editor and have read WP:BEFORE many a time. LibStar (talk) 01:28, 29 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Nominator should also read WP:Prof, which explains academic notability. Nominator's last two BLP AfDs concern two Sri Lankans. Nominator should be careful not to give any perception of ethnic bias. Xxanthippe (talk) 02:16, 29 September 2010 (UTC).[reply]

Xxanthippe should assume good faith, I nominate a large variety of articles not just Sri Lankans, I find your accusation offensive. nominating articles is not attacking subject of article, it is questioning notability. LibStar (talk) 02:29, 29 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. Satisfies Wikipedia:Notability (academics), see Information about: Sisira Kumara Jayasuriya . WWGB (talk) 02:58, 29 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Clear keep Significant academic, quoted as expert, lots of citations. Don't know why this is here, but I would join Xxan in advising the nominator to do more checking before nominating in the future. Ray^Talk 14:43, 29 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Keep as he does pass WP:PROF and I would ask Xxan to remember WP:AGF, before accusing someone of "ethnic bias". Jenks24 (talk) 09:02, 1 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Keep WorldCat shows 7 books [2] and several dozen other publications. That's enough for notability DGG ( talk ) 06:36, 5 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
