Charles Wijewardhana: nominated at AfD; notified Cossde (talk · contribs) 13:01, 13 January 2024 (UTC)
- Reason: Subject's only claim to fame was that he was a police officer who was killed by a vigilante mob. WP:VICTIM states that "where there are no appropriate existing articles [that could incorporate the available encyclopedic material relating to that person],...the victim in question should be the subject of a Wikipedia article only if the victim...had a large role within a well-documented historic event".
  The killing wasn't a historic event - there were many events involving police officers during the Sri Lankan Civil War, either as victims or perpetrators. There is no inherent notability in being a police superintendent or an amateur rugby union player.
  Article also fails WP:BASIC as there isn't significant coverage in multiple published secondary sources. The only sources are in relation to the killing or memorials written by relatives or friends. No sources prior to subject's killing.
  There are currently no articles that could incorporate the available encyclopedic material but it's possible an article could be created to cover the entire incident - the killing of the civilian by the police and subsequent mob killing of the subject.
