  • Delete another non-notable sports player.John Pack Lambert (talk) 04:56, 5 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
    • That sounds a lot like a "it's a sports player, so, not notable" argument. I don't think that's your actual intent, but you might want to consider your phrasing in the future to avoid misunderstandings. - The Bushranger One ping only 02:10, 6 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. Yes, there's not much here, and yes, we do have a problem sometimes with everybody and their brother making 'sportsperson' articles on genuinely non-notable subjects. I think, however, that there is a presumption to notability here, bearing in mind the level of competition, the sport, and the region, and the argument made by @A Den Jentyl Ettien Avel Dysklyver: at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Shashikala Kumarasinghe is one that I can handly support as applying to this article as well. - The Bushranger One ping only 02:10, 6 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
