Delete per WP:AUTHOR and WP:SPAM. WP:SPA creator User:Bizz Facts is presumably making a claim for notability because of Mr. Ratnavel's published op-eds in the National Post. However that alone does not satisfy WP:AUTHOR. Moreover, this appeal to creative notability is completely discredited by the article's naked shilling for Ratnavel's investment bizz. Bizz facts indeed. Delete. Shawn in Montreal (talk) 03:28, 25 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per nom. Google hits all point to the same few National Post op-ed pieces, which alone cannot support notability. Reads like a company bio. freshacconci talktalk 03:39, 25 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Delete, per the nominator's reasoning. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 17:03, 25 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
DO NOT Delete: As far as Tamil Diaspora is concerned Mr. Ratnavel has been a business leader and has contributed actively to the political debate as it pertains to Sri Lankan Tamil ethnic strife via numerous articles - not just op-Eds. No different than other entries in this category. Keep the entry, do not delete.

Delete He's doing a job. So am I. See contribution from Shawn in Montreal above, et al. (This isn't the 'Shaun is awesome' I frequently refer to...) Peridon (talk) 20:31, 27 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
