Does not meet notability criteria under WP:BIO. No inherent notability in being a "chief visionary officer" of a school or the son of a government minister. Obi2canibe (talk) 19:01, 31 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

KEEP, He has participated to several international conferences regarding school schemes. Also as a businessman, he owned the private bus property who is the only Sri Lankan supplier. Meanwhile, the interschool annual cricket tournament is also honored to him. That means, he is worth to have an article..(Gihan Jayaweera talk) 19:05, 1 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Delete, fails WP:ANYBIO, just because he attended some international conferences and owns a bus company does not make him notable. Dan arndt (talk) 01:16, 2 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
KEEP, International School system in Sri Lanka is not a popular aspect. So to popularize this system, he did a great job. May be it is not a strikng factor for your country, but for my country it is a huge thing. He told me that, he will provide reliable newspaper sources ASAP. So, definitely fits to "Academics" content, rather than WP:ANYBIO. So, just consider. Do not think every time to DELETE.. My point it, IMPROVE..

Delete. I found this on a deletion list for university professors, for whom WP:PROF would be the better-fitting notability criterion, but based on the statements in the article and here he appears to have been primarily involved in pre-university levels of education, for which WP:GNG is the right criterion. Under that criterion, we need multiple reliably-published sources that are independent of the subject and each other, and that provide significant depth of coverage about the subject. I'm not seeing that — we have sources by the subject, gossipy tabloid sources about a marriage to a student that don't look reliable, sources that don't even mention the subject, sources about a book written by the subject's father, sources about the school where the subject works, and a youtube video review of a bus service that is not about the subject and doesn't look reliable. I don't see any of these that can contribute towards GNG notability. —David Eppstein (talk) 20:08, 2 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Delete a non-notable educator.John Pack Lambert (talk) 16:28, 4 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per WP:GNG, WP:PROF, WP:TOOSOON, and WP:MILL. I am genuinely confused. There is no real allegation of notability here, and no evidence he's done anything notable. He appears to be a mid-level academic administrator with aside business. According to the page, he is 32 years old, at the beginning of his career. There are literally hundreds of thousands of academic officers and entrepreneurs around the world, and I can't for my life see how this person is more notable than the rest.

- Except for the "high school director marries student at his own high school" angle, you mean? In most places that would be a major scandal. —David Eppstein (talk) 18:49, 6 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
