This is a collection of discussions on the deletion of articles related to Sri Lanka. It is one of many deletion lists coordinated by WikiProject Deletion sorting. Anyone can help maintain the list on this page.
- Adding a new AfD discussion
- Adding an AfD to this page does not add it to the main page at WP:AFD. Similarly, removing an AfD from this page does not remove it from the main page at WP:AFD. If you want to nominate an article for deletion, go through the process on that page before adding it to this page. To add a discussion to this page, follow these steps:
- Edit this page and add {{Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/PageName}} to the top of the list. Replace "PageName" with the relevant article name, i.e. the one on the existing AFD discussion. Also, indicate the title of the article in the edit summary as it is particularly helpful to add a link to the article in the edit summary. When you save the page, the discussion will automatically appear.
- You should also tag the AfD by adding {{subst:delsort|Sri Lanka|~~~~}} to it, which will inform editors that it has been listed here. You may place this tag above or below the nomination statement or at the end of the discussion thread.
- There are a few scripts and tools that can make this easier.
- Removing a closed AfD discussion
- Closed AfD discussions are automatically removed by a bot.
- Other types of discussions
- You can also add and remove other discussions (prod, CfD, TfD etc.) related to Sri Lanka. For the other XfD's, the process is the same as AfD (except {{Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion/PageName}} is used for MFD and {{transclude xfd}} for the rest). For PRODs, adding a link with {{prodded}} will suffice.
- Further information
- For further information see Wikipedia's deletion policy and WP:AfD for general information about Articles for Deletion, including a list of article deletions sorted by day of nomination.
This list is also part of the larger list of deletion debates related to Asia.

Doesn't seem to meet WP:N. Boleyn (talk) 18:48, 10 July 2024 (UTC)
- Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: Technology, Transportation, Sri Lanka, and India. WCQuidditch ☎ ✎ 19:51, 10 July 2024 (UTC)
- Delete I can find a few sites describing why the last car in Indian trains has an X symbol: [1], [2], [3], but that doesn't make it a notable concept, since these are just quirky did-you-know sort of items. Analogy: I can find articles explaining why pencils are often painted yellow: [4], but that doesn't make Color of pencils a notable concept. WeirdNAnnoyed (talk) 01:38, 11 July 2024 (UTC)
- Merge with End-of-train device (as I suggested when deprodding), which is another technology with the same purpose (and likely there are others from different railways around the world). This isn't notable on it's own, but the broader concept is and the target article itself is possibly too narrow on it's own. Thryduulf (talk) 17:19, 11 July 2024 (UTC)
Marshal of the Sri Lanka Air Force[edit]

In Sri Lanka, the rank of Marshal of the Air Force is not notable, and only one person has got the rank, the Sri Lankan TV media and newspapers do not have important news regarding the man who has been awarded with the rank. In the Wikipedia article, the rank insignia is British Royal Air Force's insignia. Hamwal (talk) 11:26, 9 July 2024 (UTC)
- Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: Military and Sri Lanka. Shellwood (talk) 11:57, 9 July 2024 (UTC)
- Merge to Air chief marshal#Sri Lanka. Mccapra (talk) 14:12, 9 July 2024 (UTC)
- Merge to Roshan Goonetileke (the person who was awarded with the rank). 37.111.206.8 (talk) 03:46, 10 July 2024 (UTC)
- Merge to the article Roshan Goonetileke, Roshan Goonetileke - this man is notable for being the former Commander of the Sri Lanka Air Force and also he is notable on the history of civil war in Sri Lanka. 119.30.46.202 (talk) 12:49, 10 July 2024 (UTC)
