This article was subject to a previous speedy delete as it fails WP:ANYBIO. The subject was only a deputy inspector general of police, the third most senior rank in the Sri Lanka Police Service, which does warrant auto-notability. There is nothing contained within the article to establish notability. Dan arndt (talk) 07:20, 13 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Deputy Inspector General of Police (DIG) is Senior gazetted officer of Sri Lanka Police, should not be deleted instead allow the article to be further improved.DilJco (talk) 07:56, 13 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Comment @DilJco: just because they are/were a senior police officer does not make them automatically notable. Clearly fails to satisfy the requirements under WP:ANYBIO. Dan arndt (talk) 09:05, 13 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]
