PROD removed by article creator, "this guy is a war hero". Sees unremarkable to me, just another dead soldier. TheLongTone (talk) 12:27, 6 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Indeed. Not quite high enough ranking for notability. -- Necrothesp (talk) 14:26, 6 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - Mid ranking officer, fails to achieve notability defined by WP:MILPEOPLE.--obi2canibe^{talk contr} 18:36, 6 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - the subject lacks "significant coverage" in reliable sources per the General notability guideline. That said the loss of a battalion commanding officer would (I assume) be a fairly uncommon thing in the history of many Sri Lankan Army units so if there are sources available for this I imagine his death could be detailed somewhere (for instance he is briefly mentioned but without any significant detail or a citation at Vijayabahu Infantry Regiment).
