[edit] Dominic Jeeva

An author. This has been on CAT:CSD for twenty-two hours without any administrator willing to delete it or untag it, so I'm bringing it here for resolution. Neutral. —Cryptic 09:14, 30 October 2006 (UTC)

• Strong Keep: Dominic Jeeva although from an obscure and small island nation of Sri Lanka was a prominent literary figure amongst its minority Sri Lankan Tamil people. A google search under his name yields more than 50 links see here that is not only his notability but he is also a reference point for many younger generation of writersRaveenS 14:30, 30 October 2006 (UTC)

• Strong Keep - For the reasons RaveenS gave above. I don't know why he was speedied (too lazy to check) but the references establish notability and the article (although only a stub and in need of copy editing) does not come across as vain or conflicted. I'd even suggest speedy keeping this one if it weren't CSD. -bobby 17:05, 30 October 2006 (UTC)
