Strong Delete - has not published any new works since 2007. His works are of little significance, and didn't even make a dent in Asia, let alone the international community . The one book fair he was invited to was more of a national convention than an international fair, as implied in the article. Paul 1953 (talk) 17:01, 16 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Note that it is assumed you want it deleted by nominating it.

Is Asia not part of the international community? And what about the sources in the article? And the convention in question was not in Perera's native country, so his presence, if nothing else, made it international. Phil Bridger (talk) 18:59, 16 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - Notability is well established. Yes he has not visible recently, but a few years ago there were a number of news articles about him and his writing.Pectore^talk 03:35, 9 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
