Colonel Kumarappa[edit]

One of several articles created by same editor about minor Tamil Tiger figures. Flunks WP:BIO because not the subject of significant independent coverage from reliable sources; mentions in passing do not add up to notability no matter how often the adjective "notable" is used. So unnotable that his name is unknown. Nothing here that isn't redundant with 1987_Mass_Suicide_of_Tamil_Tigers. THF (talk) 22:46, 17 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - This article has links from Tamil Tigers wikipedia page and shouldn't be deleted. Person mentioned in this article was a senior Tamil Tiger person. Please do not delete until agreed by Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Sri Lanka Reconciliation members. -Iross1000 (talk) 23:17, 17 January 2009 (UTC).[reply]

Comment - Another way out is to redirect the article to 1987_Mass_Suicide_of_Tamil_Tigers untill appropriare RS sources are found. Taprobanus (talk) 00:12, 18 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect at best, or delete, because of ONEEVENT. Politizer ^talk/_contribs 09:01, 19 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

On the side, a general comment about this whole set of AfDs: from what I have seen so far, some of the individuals are notable and some aren't. It's clear that the editors who created the article think they are all notable. But it would have helped the process a lot if you could have provided sources and information from the beginning asserting that notability (ie, what they have done in their capacity as officers), rather than expecting us to just know what makes a Tamil Tiger notable. A lot of these arguments could have been averted. Politizer ^talk/_contribs 09:01, 19 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
