Notability
Notability is unclear. There is claim to have won an IBBY Award in 1994. In looking at the IBBY Hans Christian Anderson award, this is a list of the nominees from 1956 to 2002. The 1994 nominees were Michio Mado and Jorg Muller. So it isn't this award. The Jella Lepman Medla was awarded in 1991, and not again until 2005. So it isn't that one either. The Asahi Reading Promotion Award goes to projects, and not individual people, so that isn't it either. As far as I can discern from the IBBY site, these are all the awards. -- Whpq (talk) 19:51, 16 December 2010 (UTC)

Published review of one of his works here: http://www.sundayobserver.lk/2003/02/09/fea15.html -- Whpq (talk) 19:55, 16 December 2010 (UTC)


 * If he were really notable, how about some cited facts about his writings and less of the (auto-?)biographical triva like working as a bill clerk and selling in Sunday markets? --Stfg (talk) 11:39, 26 February 2012 (UTC)
