Deletion of Janaka Thissakuttiarachchi

Comment: according to our article on Provinces of Sri Lanka, those provinces are the first tier (the equivalent of "states") and "districts" are the next tier down (2nd tier, equivalent to local councils) which are then divided again (into  Divisional Secretary's Divisions) and then again (into Grama Niladhari Divisions). There are 256 third-tier divisions in the country, which sounds about equivalent to an Australian local council or a council of aldermen. It's obvious that the system doesn't really have "natural" equivalences in the UK, US, Australia, etc making comparisons more difficult. But if we accept what our articles say they he is the equivalent of a state assemblyman in the US or state MP in Australia. Even as the second-least-populated province in the country, the province this fellow sits in the legislature for has 1.2 million people. Some of our states and territories (Northern Territory - 250,000, Tasmania - 500,000) have their own functional legislatures and their MPs are considered to meet . That said, needs sources per BLP and such sources would make a decision here much easier

Comment: I'm not really convinced that Sri Lankan provincial councils count as true legislatures. Do they have real autonomy, or are they just the equivalent of say county councils in Britain (whose members do not qualify under )? Sri Lanka doesn't appear to count as a federal republic, and it's usually only those that fall into the category of countries with state or provincial legislatures.  doesn't just cover any elected member of any council, despite claims to that effect that I've seen in the past

Comment: I think the article should be kept, but think the article needs moving. I think they do meet  as they are a member of a provincial legislature, which is sufficient to meet that notability guideline. There is http://newsradio.lk/unp-candidate-tissa-kuttiarachchi-remanded/ this, http://colombogazette.com/2014/12/15/unp-pc-member-backs-mahinda/ this and http://archives.dailynews.lk/2010/03/09/pol04.asp this articles which talk about 'Janaka Tissa Kuttiarachchi', while http://www.sundaytimes.lk/150118/news/musical-chairs-in-provincial-councils-131166.html this article calls him 'Janaka Tissa-kuttiarachchi'. There are several quite short articles talking about his support for Mahinda Rajapaksa at the recent presidential election such as http://www.itnnews.lk/?p=56917 here. So I think a case can be made he meets both  and probably the , but should be retitled "Janaka Tissa Kuttiarachchi
