WP:ONEEVENT - this person's only claim to fame is that he was a suicid bomber who killed him self and 13 others. Also fails notability guidelines under WP:MILPEOPLE as he was not a member of a state military. The incident itself might pass notability (14 deaths) and warrant an article in which case this individual's biographical info could be included in that article.

Comment: perhaps it would be possible to merge/redirect to the Black July article? Thoughts? AustralianRupert (talk) 21:04, 1 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: The article says he died on 15 July, not as part of the 23 July attack. Here's a more useful ref than the three cited: [1] It identifies Anthony with Seelan and supports the story of his death, but seems to doubt that this death was the trigger for the Black July events. Anyway, "notability" would not arise from his death or its (disputed) results but from having been a "close associate" of the LTTE leader and one of his "closet (sic) friends", but this alone would fail on the "notability is not inherited" principle. If we can't find more substance about any "notable" deeds during his life then the article would have little value: Noyster (talk), 15:31, 7 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
