not s severe a problem[edit]
The sentence 'Prostitution has not become as severe a problem in Sri Lanka as in some neighboring countries.' is highly problematic. It reads like And you are lynching Negros-type of fallacy straight from some government whitewashing press release, and it is ironically sourced to articles that have titles like "Sex tourists prey on Sri Lanka's children: Beach resorts are hunting-grounds for European child abusers and pornographic video makers" or ""Sri Lanka: hotbed for sexual exploitation of children". --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 04:23, 15 May 2017 (UTC)
Foreign prostitutes in Sri Lanka[edit]
This news shows social issues and phenomena about foreign prostitutes in Sri Lanka. It is also a reliable source of arrest by the Sri Lankan Immigration.

- Wikipedia is not a newspaper and we should not be including news reports about individual arrests for prostitution. - MrOllie (talk) 15:31, 12 March 2020 (UTC)
- News is the main source of information about prostitution. It is different from academic issues.Bablos939 (talk) 15:34, 12 March 2020 (UTC)
- If news were to be removed, most of Wiki prostitution text would be removed.Bablos939 (talk) 15:36, 12 March 2020 (UTC)
- 'Wikipedia considers the enduring notability of persons and events.' 'For example, routine news reporting of announcements, sports, or celebrities is not a sufficient basis for inclusion in the encyclopedi' -> This part has nothing to do with the realm of prostitution.Bablos939 (talk) 15:40, 12 March 2020 (UTC)
- Wikipedia:Verifiability#Reliable sources News can also be recognized as a reliable source.Bablos939 (talk) 15:49, 12 March 2020 (UTC)
- On an island where there are an estimated 40,000 prostitutes, a single women fined for prostitution, 3 women arrested on one occasion, an unspecified on another and 8 in the last, over a period from 2012 to 2020 is hardly significant to the overall picture. Additionally, your edits on this and other prostitution articles seem biased, all of your additions involve Chinese women, a quick google search suggests more Russian women have been arrested during that period. --John B123 (talk) 16:13, 12 March 2020 (UTC)
- I mentioned various national women. 'Immigration authorities have recently been tracking women from China and former Soviet republics who enter the island as tourists and operate as sex workers.' If we don't mention the fact that there are only a few foreign women, Wikipedia aricle about prostitutes will be drastically reduced.Bablos939 (talk) 16:18, 12 March 2020 (UTC)

Dear MrOllie,John B123 I have a question. Should all individual news events be deleted? I'm sorry if I don't know the rules.Bablos939 (talk) 16:27, 12 March 2020 (UTC)
