Comment I created the article but I was not WP:TOOEARLY as the issue began on 25 November. I created with the assumption that the news will be further updated and develpoed in coming days. I will agree upon what fellow Wikipedians think about this nomination. Thank you. Abishe (talk) 11:55, 5 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Keep as zero case has been presented for why it should be removed. GreatCaesarsGhost 14:34, 5 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Keep WP:SNOW the article is well developed and has enough in-depth, quality sourcing to pass WP:GNG with flying colors. Recommend closing this quickly. This doesn't need a week's debate. --Jayron 32 14:45, 5 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Keep I can't find a reason why this article should be deleted, and the nominator certainly doesn't provide a compelling argument otherwise ✈ mike_gigs ^talk_contribs 15:24, 5 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Weak keep The Afd can be similarly treated to this Afd on Embassy of Indonesia, Colombo. I can recommend the article to merge with Sri Lanka-Switzerland relations. I don't think there is much specialty about this article but the content is supported well with refs. rupa$$$ (talk) 16:00, 5 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Merge I guess this is sensibly stupid. Look at the Murder of Yvonne Jonsson which was a prolonged issue between Sweden and Sri Lanka since that Royal Park murder in 2005. The convict was given Presidential pardon by former outgoing President Maithripala Sirisena and the issue is over. This too will soon finish within few days. It will be pointless and waste of time to have such an article. Better to merge with 2019 in Sri Lanka. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 175.157.216.89 (talk) 16:37, 5 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Keep I don't see this as a WP:ROUTINE event and this clearly passes GNG. Not a major reason to delete. Juxlos (talk) 17:19, 5 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Merge a few sentences to Sri Lanka–Switzerland relations. This is a minor diplomatic tiff that is not going to rate a footnote in the history books. It's generating some short term news coverage but the long term significance is likely to be somewhere near zero and it fails the WP:10YT test. See also WP:Recentism. -Ad Orientem (talk) 19:28, 5 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
delete per NOTNEWS and TOOSOON. If the story ever goes beyond a sequence of news stories then there could be an article, but right now this is a news story that nobody may care about in coming years. Mangoe (talk) 21:29, 5 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Are you serious? Nominating a well sourced article for AFD without even bothering to elaborate on your reasoning? Please show some respect to other editors' work, even if you think it's worthless. -Zanhe (talk) 00:58, 6 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

As far as I can see, the OP's statement contains a rational, as do all of the various comments favoring either a merge or deletion. However, I am not seeing much of a WP:PAG based rational for keeping the page on your comment. -Ad Orientem (talk) 01:07, 6 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Comment This may not be significant like the elections or the 2019 Sri Lanka Easter bombings as it is just a usual diplomatic issue. I think there is always some sort of rift between these countries for a long time. One thing this issue could be permanent as the Swiss court recently ruled out that LTTE is not a criminal organization, which could be a turning point.https://www.tamilguardian.com/content/swiss-court-rules-ltte-not-criminal-organisation 111.223.162.6 (talk) 01:42, 6 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
