Jay Kalansooriya (AfD)
Rather than have an Q&A on the AfD it is preferable that I address your queries here: You need to really address the fundamentals particularly addressing the criteria of WP:ANYBIO. Dan arndt (talk) 04:40, 28 January 2020 (UTC)
 * 1) As per the requirements of WP:ANYBIO / WP:NJOURNALIST, in order to establish that an individual is notable there needs to be "significant coverage in multiple independent reliable secondary sources", not merely a series of mentions in passing, as you've currently provided. A reference that simply states that he ranks among the top influential columnists in Sri Lanka in 2018 doesn't constitute significant coverage - it is not a recognised award. There is no evidence that the Sri Lanka Institute of Marketing has the credentials to judge or determine who the top journalists in the country are - apart from the fact that they are a non-notable organisation (at this stage).
 * 2) There is a lot of unsourced information in the article, which almost draws the conclusion that this may well be original research and that there may be a potential conflict of interest.
 * 3) The reference to Ajith Jayasinghe is meaningless unless there is clear references that clearly establish that there is a link between the two individuals.

Refspamming

Inappropriate links include, but are not limited to, links to personal websites, links to websites with which you are affiliated (whether as a link in article text, or a citation in an article), and links that attract visitors to a website or promote a product. See the external links guideline and spam guideline for further explanations. Because Wikipedia uses the nofollow attribute value, its external links are disregarded by most search engines. If you feel the link should be added to the page, please discuss it on the associated talk page rather than re-adding it. Thank you. OhNo itsJamie Talk 01:54, 3 March 2023 (UTC)

I don't understand. What's wrong with adding content with sources. I checked the wiki spam index before posting these references. Others have cited these sources too. I was just trying to add information to wiki. I've also cited other sites too. Why not them if you're trying to ban my contributions? Buenosdiass (talk) 06:55, 3 March 2023 (UTC)
