I dont see the notability here the person was just a delivery man not a journalist. it says that his death was part of a series of killing of Tamil media workers, what makes this persons death stand out compared to the other people who had died? Redsky89 (talk) 05:38, 29 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - His death was mentioned in number of media and a blow to a delivery man in the media industry, should be considered as a blow to the media industry itself; it should not be considered as another person's death of the ill-fated Sri Lankan Tamil community.Lapmaster (talk) 21:27, 29 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
