Delete This issue is already raised in the Sri lankan Civil war article, and does not require an entire article on the topic. This article has a strong POV and the notability of the issue is not sufficient to re-write the entire article. --Eng. M.Bandara-Talk 07:15, 23 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Keep completely legitimate content fork from the huge Sri Lankan Civil War article (which should have more of these content forks) dealing in greater detail with what are well-documented allegations aired in the international community.

Delete It is drawing up completely a wrong image about the ethnic relationship in Sri Lanka. It has misused citation to fetch fake-evidence to the front line. As a whole the effort to prove the context by the writer is not effective as the most of the content is just a copy-paste from the article Sri Lankan Civil War and therefore this article is better to be deleted. The manner of abused the right to Freedom of information cannot be accepted. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Dinura Pradeep Balasooriya (talk • contribs) 19:23, 23 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - I don't really have the time to read through the article to form an opinion on this one. Point to note though the nominator User:Eng.M.Bandara has now been indef blocked as a sockpuppet it seems. Anotherclown (talk) 12:12, 24 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - Neither of the reasons given by the nominator are valid. The article's notability has been established by the numerous RS given in the article. The content on war crimes in the Sri Lankan Civil War is a very brief summary of the widespread allegations - it in no way provides a comprehensive coverage of the issue.--obi2canibe^{talk contr} 19:54, 25 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Clearly notable, and continues to be a major issues affecting Sri Lanka's international reputation. Nick-D (talk) 22:56, 25 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Looks to be a personal issue with the user, the topic is clearly notable even after 5 years of end to the war.--Blackknight12 (talk) 08:03, 27 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. No question that this is notable. POV issues should be dealt with by editing after reaching consensus on the article talk page. --Andreas Philopater (talk) 11:30, 27 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
