Non-notable Tamil Tiger, article devoid of biographical detail; cursory passing mentions of pseudo-position do not add up to notability meriting separate article. THF (talk) 18:00, 17 January 2009 (UTC)

Keep - Seems to be notable as he was a key player in: Long Range Reconnaissance Patrol operations and is also mentioned in: [http://sundaytimes.lk/020210/sitrep.html|The Sunday Times] Panyd^{The muffin is not subtle} 20:08, 17 January 2009 (UTC)

::*Extra Comment - also mentioned in The Nation (Thailand) on June 14, 2005, Tuesday Panyd^{The muffin is not subtle} 20:13, 17 January 2009 (UTC)

:::*Comment: He was actually killed by the LRRP, not a key player in it. I'm not sure if getting killed by a particular military organization makes you notable. Chamal ^talk 10:30, 18 January 2009 (UTC)

keep, or possibly merge - 'Devoid of biographical detail' is not a reason for deletion. He does hold a position from what I can see: [http://www.google.co.uk/search?q=%22major+mano%22+tamil&btnG=Search&hl=en&safe=off&client=firefox-a&rls=org.mozilla%3Aen-GB%3Aofficial&hs=P5w&sa=2 Even a quick Google search] shows up notability.

Keep - "I am too lazy to look something up" isnt a valid reason for deletion.Pectore^talk 22:47, 17 January 2009 (UTC)

::Again, I've looked it up. The passing mentions in the press does not add up to notability, which is an objective Wikipedia standard. Please stop your personal attacks. THF (talk) 00:09, 18 January 2009 (UTC)

::I have made no personal attacks, but I did summarize your rationale for deletion in a somewhat blunt manner.Pectore^talk 02:44, 18 January 2009 (UTC)
