Non-notable athlete. Sportsfan 1234 (talk) 03:39, 30 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Comment- I created this article because I was also determined to create biographies related to archers from Sri Lanka. Dilhara Salgado is a female archer who has also competed for Sri Lanka at the 2010 Commonwealth Games, so that's why I created it. If you think still the article is not perfect I unanimously accept for the nomination of deletion. Abishe (talk) 09:06, 30 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - I've added some more info and references from Sri Lankan news articles (I'm sure there will be more) so passes GNG now I believe - Basement12 (T.C) 10:53, 31 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Comment - I note that with this edit the nominator actually removed all trace of various news sources before nominating the article for deletion - Basement12 (T.C) 10:58, 31 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Keep per WP:SPORTCRIT and WP:GNG. Hmlarson (talk) 05:42, 3 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Speedy Keep this archer is even more notable than the other one nominated by Sportsfan that I just commented on, Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Shashikala Kumarasinghe, this is because she won a silver medal (at the Asian Games), and also competed at the commonwealth games.

Speedy keep The hack job on the article is puzzling, but the references deleted from the article still exist in the edit history. I double checked in web.archive.org to see that the first reference is also online. Deleting references from an article is not a valid path to argue in a nomination that they don't exist.
